She Did Her Own Stunts In The Getup
When she worked on Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter she was a total daredevil. Do you require evidence? A moment in which the character had to dangle from a chopper was inserted. You’d think Epper would be the one to take care of things. However, they couldn’t film it without disclosing that she was a double. Carter eventually performed the assignment on her own. It is said to have infuriated the producers!
How She Nearly Died On The Set
There was also a time when she had a near-death experience on the set of the show. In 1976, Lynda Carter admitted to Johnny Carson that she had to jump over a car for a certain scene. They strung her up on wires, but she misjudged the distance and hit the vehicle head-on. “You got to remember this was an era where they were just barely allowing people to know there were doubles,” Epper explained when she spoke to the NPR in 2005. She added, “For many, many, many years, all the actors and actresses said they did their own stunt work.” For the actress, this was somewhat accurate.
