Lynda Carter
Best known for winning our hearts as Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter is an accomplished singer who has performed to rave reviews before sell-out crowds around the world.

Known for winning our hearts as TV’s Wonder Woman, Emmy winner Lynda Carter remains a fierce advocate for social justice, a renowned singer-songwriter who has performed to sold-out crowds around the world, and a celebrated actress with fans clamoring for reprisal of roles. Recently, the Washington Post included her in a list of the “best superhero performances of all time,” and she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Lynda is currently preparing new music for release in 2023 and 2024, recorded in Nashville with longtime producer Kyle Lehning.

Lynda supports several nonprofit organizations and causes, working closely with City of Hope and TGen to research new drug therapies for myelofibrosis patients, as well as serving on the advisory board of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum. In addition, she supports the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, The Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement, The Coelho Center for Disability Law, Policy and Innovation, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and GLAAD. 

As an active participant in the DC Universe, Lynda had a recurring role in the television series Supergirl from 2016-2018. In 2020, Lynda made a cameo appearance in Wonder Woman 1984. She also appeared in the feature film The Cleaner with Luke Wilson in 2021, and reprised her original role in the film Super Troopers 2. Lynda’s musical talent was showcased when she lent her gorgeous voice to massively popular video game series Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls, and Fallout. She has produced and starred in five Emmy-nominated variety specials on CBS.

Lynda’s dynamic social media presence receives regular press coverage from outlets such as Good Morning America, Wall Street Journal, The A.V. Club, Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian, and The TODAY Show.

Lynda has two children, James Altman, Executive Producer of Fallout, and singer/songwriter Jessica Carter Altman. Her late husband, Robert Altman, continues to be an inspiration for her music.
