She Had To Keep An Eye On Her Weight
Playing a superheroine should be joyful, but Lynda Carter had to follow a strict schedule. She had to reduce weight to fit into the tape outfit, so she stuck to a strict diet and exercise routine. “I had to stay in shape because when you’re wearing a costume like that you can’t be eating doughnuts. But I was in my twenties, and I had the body for it – which I totally took for granted,” the actress shared with the Daily Express. She’s also opposed the practice of pressuring celebrities to lose weight. “I’m so sick of seeing these anorexic actresses,” Carter shared with Extra in 2007. “These people are crazy. Any place else in the country besides New York and LA, and they would be in a hospital.” She now advocates for good nutrition and regular exercise. In an interview with Energy Times in 2018, she said: “I eat whatever I want. I just cut down on the portion size. It’s all about portion control, portion control, portion control. I have a better relationship with food now, but I struggle with my weight.”
The Cowgirl Version Of Her Costume
The episode “The Bushwhackers” from the first season of the show is one of Lynda Carter’s favorites because it stars Roy Rogers. Working with the Western celebrity attracted the interest of the lead actress. In 2010, she told the Daily Express that “Working with Roy was a thrill because I was a huge fan, and I still have the script he signed for me.” But there’s one more thing you should know about this episode. The main character was dressed in a more modest cowgirl outfit. We already like the group as a whole, but we’re curious why they changed it at all. Do you think it was because the standard dress was unsuitable for riding a horse? There was also talk that Roy Rogers wanted his co-star to dress more modestly than normal for the film. Interesting.
