She Had To Keep An Eye On Her Weight

You might think that it is fun to play the superheroine, but Lynda Carter had to follow a strict regimen. She needed to fit into the costume for taping, so she had an intense exercise program and diet. “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 has also expressed her disapproval for the practice of making stars 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.” These days, she promotes healthy eating and regular exercise. In 2018, she shared this with Energy Times: “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

In the first season of the show, there is an episode called “The Bushwhackers.” It is one of Lynda Carter’s favorites because it featured Roy Rogers. The lead actress had been excited to work with the Western star. In 2010, she informed the Daily Express, “Working with Roy was a thrill because I was a huge fan, and I still have the script he signed for me.” There is something else that you need to know about this episode, however. It showed a more modest cowgirl-like outfit for the main character. We already like the ensemble in and of itself, but we are curious to know why they made the change at all. Do you think the reason was that the regular costume was not suited for horseback riding? There is also a rumor that said Roy Rogers wanted his co-star to be more covered up than usual. Interesting.
