Lynda Carter says new Wonder Woman “looks fabulous”

Former Wonder Woman likes what she sees of the new look heroinne and it's hard to disagree.

Lynda Carter has given the new Adrianne Palicki her seal of approval -at least in terms of her appearance.

“I think she looks fabulous,” she said. “It’s a new look and, jeez, her body looks fantastic.”

True enough.

Carter, a former Miss World USA, famously brought the character to screen in the 1970s in all-action, high-camp series (well, in truth it only became high camp in retrospect).

“You know, I’m very sensitive to the fact that she will be compared,” Carter said. “There’s no getting around it. It is what it is. I would hope that people would cut her some slack.

“I’m sure there will be people who say she looks better than me and like her better than me—and that’s also fine,” she continued. “I want this story to be told again. I’m really excited. I can’t wait to see it.”

The series is being developed by David E. Kelley with Liz Hurley in a villainess role.

  1. She may look bad in this picture, but she was very good in Supernatural as Sam’s girlfriend Jess who died in the first episode. I hope they’ve died her hair dark and not made her wear a wig, because that would look ridiculous.

  2. I hope this comes to FTA becuse practically anything done by David E Kelly is great. If this does come to a FTA network then i will give it a go. However history is against David because there have not been many remakes which have stood the test of time remember Bionic Woman that only lasted one year.

  3. This looks like the naughty Wonder Woman costume you’d buy from a cheap lingerie store. Hopefully on film it looks better because it does look cheap from this, not at all like an amazonian princess armor like it’s supposed to.

    Very excited to see Liz Hurley working again and from the set shots of her from last week she looks much better suited to the role despite her age.

  4. I like one of the comments in the source article… she really does look like an inflatable doll.

    But perhaps silver boots might have been better than blue with blue vinyl pants..?

    I quite liked when I went to India a few years ago, they had Wonder Woman dubbed into Hindi. And Gilligan’s Island (but that’s another story).

  5. They have so dragged out Carter to ease the fan response as right now over the internet, people are losing their minds! I would have to agree though, it’s an incredibly cheap and nasty Halloween costume and Adrienne doesn’t look comfortable at all.

    I guess Kelley is really keeping his word to embrace the campy side of WW.

  6. Wow. I knew Wonder Woman was going to have three identities in the new TV series, but I didn’t know that one of them was going to be a hooker.

    And a highly impractical hooker at that since it would take a team of assistants and an awful lot of talcum powder to get those trashtastic pants on and off for each of her clients. I guess we now know what role the three assistants called “The Animals” who live in Wonder Woman’s basement will play in the series.

    It’s such a shame that this terrible series will mean that Wonder Woman isn’t looked at for a Good live-action adaptation for another 20+ years.
