She Did Her Own Stunts In The Getup
Lynda Carter was a daredevil in disguise when she worked on Wonder Woman. Do you require proof? A sequence in which the character had to dangle from a chopper was included. You’d assume Epper would be the one to take care of it. They couldn’t shoot it without revealing that she was a double, though. Carter completed the task on her own in the end. It supposedly enraged the producers!

There was also a time on the set of the show when she experienced a near-death experience. Lynda Carter told Johnny Carson in 1976 that she had to jump over a car for a certain scenario. They rigged her up on wires, but she underestimated the distance and collided head-on with the vehicle. “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.
