This woman, really not old?
At the end of "Wonder Woman 1984", a "rare guest" was surprised-
Royal blue long skirt, curly hair like a waterfall, a smile is style.
She is Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman, 70 years old.
The years flowed like a stream, and the female warrior was gilded with glory, as beautiful as a statue of the Virgin.
And don't forget, 45 years ago, she had already amazed the world.
In 1975, when Superman and Batman were in vogue, Warner decided to bring Wonder Woman to the screen.
When the shareholders listened, they mocked in every way: "Who wants to see a woman embroider her legs with her fists?" Feel free to clap. ”
Therefore, the protagonist did not ask the superstar to be a big name, but casually found eighteen lines of paste - Linda Carter.
That year, Linda was 23 and a half years old, and after taking the 15th place of Miss World, she ran for 2 years and earned 25 cents a day.
"I can't even pay the rent, and I'm thinking of going home and opening a commissary with my mother." Linda said.
A phone call came: "Do you want to come to the audition?" ”
Golden Eagle breastplate, Star Flag shorts, red boots... When she walked out of the fitting room, everyone was stunned.
What followed was a cascade of words: "Oh my god!" ”
"She's so beautiful, so beautiful it's like jumping out of a comic." One photographer recalled.
Not surprisingly, once the episode was broadcast, it swept across the city and caused a sensation throughout the city.
Newspaper headlines were imposing: "Girls, finally waiting for their heroes!" ”
No need to be trapped by love, no need to be bent on perfection, Linda plays Wonder Woman who punishes adultery and acts for Skywalker.
Who says heroes have to be men?!
She can fly in a battle suit, but also wear a uniform to spy on the enemy, moving and moving, and the city is at a glance.
At that time, there were no stunts, no filters, and no high-tech armor, all relying on Linda to bring the audience into the play.
To this end, she also created a super-magical, ultra-classic transformation method - "beauty around".
"Wonder Woman" was viewed by Changhong, broadcast for 3 seasons, and Linda Carter was a mess.
In just 4 years, she became the highest-paid TV actress and was invincible.
For a moment, she disappeared.
Seeing Lynn again, Lynn reached someone else's bride.
In 1977, at the age of 25, Linda married agent Ron Samuels.
After marriage, the two have a shadow double, like glue like paint, large and small occasions are doing their best to show love, in the eyes of the audience, they are a model couple.
At least, it looks like this.
But what about the places that can't be seen?
Soon, the reporter photographed the couple going out, Linda's eyes bandaged with gauze, and several bruises on her hands.
Rumors abounded, and Linda left only one sentence of "no comment."
After 3 years, the marriage ended without any problems.
Over the years, Linda rarely talked about her ex-husband, and when asked about the corner, she only sighed helplessly.
"Never marry the first man to propose to you, never..." She smiled wryly.
"I can only say that he is too old, and I am too stupid." Want to talk back.
"This marriage was the 'most tragic chapter' of my life, but it's over." She shook her head and let out a long sigh.
But has it really passed?
In 1983, Linda met her lifelong love, Robert Ultraman.
"He's a lawyer, smart, funny, gentle and considerate to women, and he also imitates Wonder Woman to make me laugh."
The two were in love, and in 1984, they entered the church.
People think that Linda is keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, but it is a wave of uneven waves.
Within a few years of marriage, my husband was "caught".
The Federal Reserve indicted Robert for "bribery", the lawsuit was more than half a year, the lawyer's fees were like burning money, Linda put down her job, quietly waiting behind her husband.
"I know I can't do anything, but he needs me." Her brow furrowed.
Six months later, her husband was acquitted, but Linda collapsed.
She was drunk alive.
In her first marriage, she began to numb herself by alcoholism.
Drink before going to bed, get up and drink, and at the end, drink all the time.
"When I got drunk, I thought I could escape it all." She recalled: "It was silly. ”
After meeting Robert, she thought she was saved.
But love is not a panacea.
During the six months of her husband's trial, Linda had to drink three bottles of red wine to fall asleep, and she secretly vomited in the toilet and then drunk in bed.
"I'm sorry I ruined everything." That night, she hugged her husband and cried bitterly, but the other party did not speak.
Two weeks later, a document was placed in front of Linda.
At the first sight, Linda's tears fell.
Robert Altman gave everything he could and bought a piece of land in the suburbs, and that document was a blueprint for his new home.
"Come with me." Robert laughed and said, "We left Hollywood and went to the countryside to live again." ”
"Noble Wonder Woman, would you like to go to Paradise Island with me?" he asked.
Linda cried and nodded, unable to say a word.
The man with the name "Ultraman" decides to save his "Wonder Woman".
Away from the hustle and bustle, planting flowers and grass, and going for a morning run in the forest with her husband, Linda successfully quit drinking after a year.
"For 26 years, I don't drink." She said proudly.
When her husband was in prison, she kept watch over him, and when Linda was drunk, he took her to the end of the world.
"The best love is to save each other." Linda said with a smile.
After 36 years of marriage and two grown-up children, Robert made a comeback to own his own company, and Linda said, "You should go back to your 'battlefield.'" ”
He knew that Linda loved the camera, loved singing, and she had dreams.
"Won't I be too old?"
"'Wonder Woman, how can you get old?'"
In 2016, Linda made a cameo appearance as the female president in "Supergirl", domineering side leaks, and the sword is not old.
At the premiere of Wonder Woman, Linda made a surprise appearance, and director Patty Ginger said excitedly: "Without Linda, I wouldn't have made this movie." ”
On that day, the lights flickered and two generations of Wonder Woman dreamed of meeting, and Gayle Gadot saw Linda and couldn't help but give a big gift.
For 42 years, the story of Wonder Woman has been passed down from generation to generation.
In the year of the flower armor, youth is no more, but Linda Carter has never given up her heroic dream.
"I don't have the superpowers to save the planet, but I can do what I can to make the world a better place." She was convinced.
She took part in the parade, held aloft the rainbow flag, and cheered up LGBT people.
In 2013, when her mother, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, passed away, Linda contributed money to the research of "Alzheimer's disease" and set up a foundation.
"Born in a single-parent family, it was my mother who taught me to be strong, and now I hope to make more people strong, and my mother will be proud of me."
In October 2016, Linda Carter and Gail Gadot attended a special UN event, two generations of Wonder Woman, joining forces to promote gender equality.
Interestingly, at the end of the event, the photographer captured such a picture -
Behind Linda and Gale stood a little girl dressed as Wonder Woman, looking up with determined eyes.
It turns out that Wonder Woman has never been a solo fight.
The story of heroes, there is no end, their efforts, sparks.
This year, Linda Carter is 70 years old.
Time easily throws people away, wrinkles climb up the corners of the eyes, white hair falls on the sideburns, and the traces of time are melted into a crown.
In a lifetime, no one can live smoothly, the important thing is that you can survive those sufferings and laugh out.
In the world, no one has magical superpowers, and the so-called hero is to keep a firm heart and go on.
Linda Carter, 70, still retains the 1975 Wonder Woman's suit, hanging deep in the closet.
Every day when she got up, she would take a look.
The star skirt is faded, the breastplate is mottled, and only the faith is not extinguished——
46 years ago, there was a girl who decided to become her own hero.
