A lot of fans were attracted to Lynda Carter in the role of the superheroine. However, the truth is that she did not appreciate all the focus on her looks. In 1980, she explained this in detail when she spoke to Us Weekly. Carter said, “I never meant to be a sexual object for anyone but my husband.”

“I never thought a picture of my body would be tacked up in men’s bathrooms,” she explained, “I hate men looking at me and thinking what they think. And I know what they think. They write and tell me.” What is worse that there was a time she discovered a peephole in the dressing room. The person behind this was fired. In 2018, Lynda Carter reflected on all the sexual harassment she experienced as an actress. She shared this with The Daily Beast in light of the #MeToo movement: “I fended off my share [of unwanted attention, and] I’ve been afraid. [But] if a man tried something, I would say, ‘Are you kidding me?’… We were women’s lib, burn the bra. We weren’t going to take any **** from people.”
