She Did Her Own Stunts In The Getup
When Lynda Carter worked on Wonder Woman, she was actually a daredevil in secret. Do you want proof? There was a scene in which the character had to hang from a chopper. You would think that Epper would be the one to do this. However, they could not shoot this without making it obvious that she was a double. In the end, Carter did it on her own. It allegedly made the producers furious!

There was also a time when she had a near-death encounter on the set of the show. In 1976, Lynda Carter shared with Johnny Carson that she had to jump over a car for a particular scene. They set her up on wires, but she misjudged the distance and ended up crashing straight into the vehicle itself. “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.” This was partly true for the lead actress.
