I know this because she lives in me, and she lives in the stories that these women tell me, day in and day out. “In some magical and mystical way, there lies within each of us Wonder Woman. But, back in the day, she was twirling her way into our hearts for three seasons of action-packed. Today, the DC Comics character is a big-screen icon. The actress played the part to perfection in the 1970s.

The Series is featured exclusively on Netflix. This will also be the second independent television series based on Wonder Woman, rather than having her making guest appearances or share a plot with different superheroes. Gal Gadot, who plays the heroine in the new film walked the red carpet with Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman who portrayed her in the 1970s TV series.

Cloris Leachman portrayed Diana Prince’s mother, the Amazon Queen. When we first meet Wonder Woman, Steve Trevor (played by Lyle Waggoner from The Carol Burnett Show) crashed his airplane on the uncharted island after fighting a Nazi plane.

Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman is the canonical screen version - Gal Gadot isn't bad, but she's not Lynda.
