Yesterday was Lynda Carter's 73rd birthday and we wanted to salute our original Wonder Woman and tell her how much we love and appreciate her. Today's youth may only know Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman but back when I was a kid, there was the one and only Lynda Carter! She graced our screens every week (And when I say grace, I mean it! This woman was, and still is the epitome of grace). Was the TV show kind of silly and campy? Of course it was! But that was part of its charm.

Lynda introduced a whole generation to DC's No.1 female superhero, And one of the best superheroes in general, and she even invented the famous "Wonder Woman spin" we all know and love. The creators of the show couldn't figure out how to transition between Diana Prince and Wonder Woman and Lynda, Being a classically trained dancer, suggested doing a pirouette and the rest is history. Happy birthday Lynda!
