@@johnnyrocker7495 Her full name is Lynda Jean Cordova Carter if that makes you feel better. Her mom was Mexican/Spanish and her dad Irish/English. His surname was Carter. Her first name is spelled differently from the more typical Linda, but in spanish "linda" means beautiful so maybe that's why it was chosen. I was a kid during her Wonder Woman heyday and I have similar mixed heritage, so she was a notable celeb for me. Not just for her beauty and talent but also because that dual background wasn't as visible or celebrated in entertainment in the 1970s/1980s
Even though I was born in 1970, but I clearly remember these type of shows from the mid 70's to mid 80's. Entertainers was so diverse in showcasing their many talents. Singing, Dancing, Musicians and Acting. The two sense of being the Artist. I really miss and appreciate that era.
Thank you for this video. Lynda was (and still is!) truly outstanding in all ways. She can sing, she can dance, she can act, and---lest we forget---she is the most beautiful woman Hollywood ever found.
There are many Hollywood stars and famous people with a Spanish heritage: Anthony Quinn, Linda Ronstad, Lynda Carter, Raquel Welch, Martin Sheen, his two sons, Fernando and Lorenzo Lamas, Desi Arnaz, their children (with Lucy Ball), John Wayne's wife, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Moreno, Javier Bardem, Antonio Banderas, Eva Mendes, Selena Gomez, Eva Longoria, Shakira, and many others, to name just a few. It is a sad commentary about American society that many of these had to hide their Spanish heritage to make it big in the US entertainment business,
@@jgonz260 yes that is very sad and one more reason to secure the border. Securing the border would be a grand service to law abiding citizens who came to America legally 🙏🇺🇸
@@michaelparylak5649 What does that have to do anything with the border? Absolutely nothing. Your comment is out of context and out of order. Because a lot of immigrants come by air from all over the globe, and many stay longer than their visa allows. And many just go back, as they are supposed to. Please take your politics elsewhere,
I miss the days when ENTERTAINERS were well rounded...singing dancing acting playing instruments etc...today's "ENTERTAINERS" don't have 10% of those talents...Loved Lynda😍
Just speaking of TV variety shows, programming and interests have changed but I don't think it's due to a lack of talent. Many of today's biggest entertainer are triple threats. We see them act, sing and dance in movies and onstage. Personally I always liked variety show specials. I remember as a kid watching this one with Lynda Carter and one with Cheryl Ladd. I was blown away that Wonder Woman and one of Charlie's Angels had so many other talents!
You might be mistaking singers and actors for entertainers. Back in the day you had to be an entertainer and see what you got picked up for. Now, you just have to be profitable. Different things.
I always loved her. Never knew this or heard her sing before. I friggin' love this. She betta get it! What a cool way to honor her mother and her Mexican heritage❤
LINDA CARTER, YOU CAN SING AND DANCE, WOW! I always loved you son e seeing you as a child, your so beautiful, I’m sure you must have been miss world! Great to see you have so many talents aswel as being absolutely Gorgeous! Thank you for all your entertainment
This is elegant and fun and a perfect mix of her heritage and what society wanted at that time. I grew up watching her on reruns of wonder woman. She is the perfect woman in my eyes, well rounded personality. Beautiful and cares for us humans around her. ❤❤❤ I appreciate Lyndas influence.on my life. ❤❤
Women were just elegant back then. Look at all those ladies dancing! Amazing flow of elegance. Today, there are no clothes, and they are shaking every bit of flesh they got!!!! World take note!👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ci sono milioni di donne come Linda Le donne oggi sono bellissime Ma l aspetto fisico non conta nulla Cio che e' importante E' L ANIMO . LA COPERTINA DEL LIBRO VALE MENO DI ZERO .
Wow! I loved this, especially the flamenco! Thanks so much for uploading this, I was a huge fan of Lynda Carter's in the 70s as a child and I had never seen this before.
And at the fast end of the scale for a Rhumba. My wife and I prefer the Girl From Ipanema. European dancers would say Beseme Mucho is a Rhumba, but I would call it a Bolero.
I watch this now I would say close to 20 times I’m a grown adult. I have access to basically the whole flipping world and I will tell you this was pulled off pretty good.… I recognize most of the dancers being that there’s only a few people on the planet they’re able to pull off these moves well, Lynda, Carter found them.… That chic Can dance
It's not a Rhumba in the slightest, but this was 1981 and all can be forgiven. I had no idea she had hispanic roots, but when you look at her hairstyle in this number, you can totally see the spanish features. A good looking woman. A very pleasant person.
Just wow! Linda Carter is just amazing. Smart, Beautiful, awesome dancer, actor and singer? Wonder if Wonder Woman could do comedy too? Wouldn’t be surprised!
The second part of the video was more like Spanish flamenco. All beautifully done. I had a coworker in Puerto Rico who was a flamenco dancer and very beautiful too.
I must say .. the male dancer in red pants is really good. He even dances with his facial expressions. Overall, this performance shows there was a lot to like about the mood of performing arts - and style - coming out of the early 1980s.
The song in the second part is a variation of Santa Esmeralda Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood as far as I remember that song is like 15 minutes long in fact I think Santa Esmeralda has a lot of songs that are quite long
DO YOU KNOW WHAT...???...LINDA CARTER DID AT MEDLEY 80'S A BIOGRAPHY MOVIE FOR TV OF RITA HAYWORT ...I DON'T SEE THAT MOVIE ANYMORE...THAT MOVIE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL...❤❤❤❤
I happened to be visiting ABC studios when that special was being taped and was onstage when Miss Carter entered. She was radiant.
Lucky!
Thank you !!!

Miss World USA 1972. Her mother was hispanic. IMO the most beautiful woman to have ever lived.
My opinion too
Yes! And her mother was Mexican. Las mexicanas somos lo máximo y las más bonitas 😊
True her mother was Hispanic But more accurate to say was Mexican.
Del mundo mundial.yes.mexicana.orgullosamente!@@bonitolandiaa
Hell yah!🤙
Thanks for posting! It's great to be reminded that Lynda Carter is so much more than just her Wonder Woman character.
It's interesting to see her like this. Still awesome as Wonder Woman, though. 👍
Thank you for this video. Lynda was (and still is!) truly outstanding in all ways. She can sing, she can dance, she can act, and---lest we forget---she is the most beautiful woman Hollywood ever found.
That's because she's beautiful on the inside and outside.
Wow Wonder woman sings Motown and dances to Spanish guitar. 🤯 Damn this woman is amazing. Never knew about her Mexican heritage 🤯
Her mother was Mexican. I am Mexican by the way 😊
@@bonitolandiaa that's what I gathered from another video I watched. I'm a European "mutt" by the way 😁.

Now, Lynda and Ricardo Montalbán dancing would have been the dance to end all dances! We are lucky to have witnessed such talented performers!💃🏻
'Look boss, it's da plane!'
Indeed!! ❤
A woman of many talents. 💃 Your Grandmother was very blessed.
Lynda’s inside and out beauty is incomparable. I love her so much
I never knew about her Mexican heritage until recently, She was and still is a beautiful woman
Outstanding performance by Lynda and what a troop of superb😊 dancers,thanks cheers

I wouldn’t call that singing dancing or entertaining
Now, all they do is take their clothes off 🤢
Man what a woman. Beautiful, sings and dances, talented a good wife and kind to others. From all accounts.
Thats why she won a beauty contest.
The very best performance of all her specials in my opinion. This performance was the reason she received the Emmy Award.
Realmente es la mujer maravilla!!! Canta, baila, actúa y es bellísima! El plus: ascendencia mexicana! 🎉🎉
*So beautiful. What a wonderful way to honor her Mexican grandmother.* ✨️
Excellent musical video; Lynda Carter is indeed a beautiful woman and person,
Got new respect. All four of my grandparents were Mexican-American.
Beautiful Woman with so much talent and Thankyou for sharing your Gift! Extrodary !
I always loved her. Never knew this or heard her sing before. I friggin' love this. She betta get it! What a cool way to honor her mother and her Mexican heritage❤
Many years ago, I ran face to face into Lynda Carter. I couldn't even breathe to excuse myself. Gorgeous doesn't even do her justice. My God!

IMHO, Linda Carter and Deidre Hall are the most beautiful women of their generation. Hands down, indisputable for me.
She’s no Emmy Lou Harris!
Women were just elegant back then. Look at all those ladies dancing! Amazing flow of elegance. Today, there are no clothes, and they are shaking every bit of flesh they got!!!! World take note!👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Desde buenos aires argentina genia total mí querida linda cárter
Talent, poise, beauty and kindness. That is Lynda Carter.

I am glad there is that much Lynda Carter DNA out there
NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! WITH THAT HERITAGE NO WONDER! SHE GOT THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS!!!! BRAVO!!!

Very Anglo oriented

Thank you so mucho por sharing this jewel!!! A whole wonder Wonder Woman, the most beautiful woman ever seen!!!
Thanks for this little gem of a video!
Wow! I loved this, especially the flamenco! Thanks so much for uploading this, I was a huge fan of Lynda Carter's in the 70s as a child and I had never seen this before.
Dedication: beautiful and heartfelt!
Part 1: No actual Rhumba. Talented dancers in gawdawful costumes and choreo
Part 2: Flamenco. Flawless!
No actual flamenco, rather a flamenco-inspired coreography and costumes. Real flamenco is more intense, more expressive and more passionate.
And at the fast end of the scale for a Rhumba. My wife and I prefer the Girl From Ipanema. European dancers would say Beseme Mucho is a Rhumba, but I would call it a Bolero.
Mix Mexico, Ireland, Spain and USA and the result is ...Lynda Carter, "The Wonder Woman" I love her.
Actually her mom is Mexican
From Chihuahua
Wow! That was outstanding-so happy TH-cam exists!❤❤❤
Admiración total a Linda Carter!!! La mejor MUJER MARAVILLA que ha habido!!!❤

Excellent choreography and dancing and great homage to your Granny ❤😊.

Just wow! Linda Carter is just amazing. Smart, Beautiful, awesome dancer, actor and singer? Wonder if Wonder Woman could do comedy too? Wouldn’t be surprised!
Awesome! Never knew Linda Carter could sing and dance like this
Linda Carter has to be one of the most naturally beautiful women of all time!
Had no idea she was half Latina! She's a total babe even today at her age!! She's 73!
I remember growing up as a little girl and Lynda Carter was one of the elegant women I aspired to be.
Thank you for sharing this!
Wow que joya de video con la WW Linda Carter 🤩 hermosa y talentosa mujer!
Lynda Carter is Mexican, viva Wonder Woman! Viva Mexico!
GO WONDER WOMAN!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
The second part of the video was more like Spanish flamenco. All beautifully done. I had a coworker in Puerto Rico who was a flamenco dancer and very beautiful too.
I had no idea! I did not know that she was a singer and a dancer. She is fabulous
Lynda Carter has a beautiful voice in singing
Tremenda...la mejor mujer maravillosa de mundo!!!!!!
I miss the days when people didn’t leave dumb comments
Miss these days ❤
Hard to find beautiful women like her now, this generation is obsessed with tattoos and self absorption.
She is gorgeous 💃🤍🕊️💎🎀🌹
Love the voices of United States females back then. Totally different era, a totally different country.
insuperable and mighty WONDER WOMAN!!!!!. Que seria de ver una sonrisa de esa hermosa cara en persona!!!!
I was probably in love with her, as a 4 year old watching Wonder Woman in Montevideo in 1980 or so.
Que mujer más espectacular…varias generaciones darnos su tiempo y talento…hermosa y si también tenemos desendencia española y arabe y africana
The most stunning and classy lady ever. Talented
The decade was barely off to a start and things were already ridiculous.
I must say .. the male dancer in red pants is really good. He even dances with his facial expressions. Overall, this performance shows there was a lot to like about the mood of performing arts - and style - coming out of the early 1980s.
La mujer maravilla está bellísima actriz cantante. Sin aliento. Wow,wow wow. 😊🇨🇷
Most beautiful woman that ever lived. ❤❤❤
Man, that's a hot song. Better than the Solid Gold Dancers back in the day.
Amazing 43 years ago.
We need a national project to clone her. TV was so much better when there were 3 networks.
LINDA CARTER...1981...FLAMENCO...BRUTAL ...MAGIC...NOSTALGIC...CLASSIC....MEMORY....BEAUTIFUL. .FOREVER...❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤mi Mujer Maravilla, tiene raices Mexicanas, qué bien!!!...😊😊😊😊
Beautiful woman and talented ❤
Just learned that Linda is half latina. No wonder she still looks so beautiful.
Hispana
I had no idea that Lynda Carter was a Latina and could rap sing a dance. You enter Hollyweird and you have to assimilate.
You go woman !!!!
Beautiful woman, ❤ her eyes.
Canta de maravilla y baila!!!!!. No conocía esta faceta ❤
Lyndaaa!
Wow, She really was a wonderful talented lady If she did this in the wonder woman outfit it would be the best thing ever
She was my first celebrity crush.😃
Sos hermosa y muy linda Lynda !!!!!
Beautiful woman!
God Bless the Real " Wonder Woman "!❤😊
The song in the second part is a variation of Santa Esmeralda Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood as far as I remember that song is like 15 minutes long in fact I think Santa Esmeralda has a lot of songs that are quite long
OMG .... PRECIOSA Y CON TALENTO ...
Bravo ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice knockers!😊
Comparing that speech with the "modern" actresses, we see that we evolve BACKWARDS as human beings!
Que Mujer Tan "Bella", y Tremendamente "Carismática".!!! 👌
DO YOU KNOW WHAT...???...LINDA CARTER DID AT MEDLEY 80'S A BIOGRAPHY MOVIE FOR TV OF RITA HAYWORT ...I DON'T SEE THAT MOVIE ANYMORE...THAT MOVIE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL...❤❤❤❤
Outstanding!!!!
She can do it all. Wow, love that growl also
Love this. Who knew this side of Wonder Woman. 😂🎉❤
