WONDER WOMAN - WONDER WOMAN CARTER DISCOVERS DEAD BODY
WONDER WOMAN star LYNDA CARTER is reported to have called emergency services after discovering a dead body floating in a river in Washington D.C.
The former TV star was out rowing on the Potomac River on Wednesday (04Jun08) when she spotted the body of a woman floating face down in the water. Carter immediately dialled 911 and called police to the scene.
Police believe the dead woman was a hiker who may have slipped and fallen into the river and are appealing for help in discovering her identity. She is described as around 40 years old and wearing a white jacket, shorts and a t-shirt.
Washington D.C. fire and emergency services spokesperson Scott Kane says, "A middle-aged woman was found floating in the water about a quarter mile north of Three Sisters Island. She was found by a canoer. The canoer flagged down some boats and they called Fire and EMS."

I still believe that Megan Gale should portray Wonder Woman, if not in the JL film,
then at least in the WW movie. She's just too good a choice to throw away now that
the JL film is on hold…yet again. sigh… Lynda Carter should most definitely portray
her mother, Hippolyta. And developing the characters and relationships on Paradise
Island (i.e., the Queen, Artemis, Donna Troy, etc.,) and Greek mythology (i.e., Ares,
Circe, Aphrodite, etc.,) along with the characters from Man's World (i.e., Steve
Trevor, Etta Candy and the Woo-Woo Girls, the Cheetah, etc.,) would prove awesome for viewers!
And provide her with her iconic accoutrements (i.e., tiara that she also uses as
a boomerang and video phone; earrings that can translate any spoken language; bracelets th
at deflect objects and can create a force field around her) as well as her other
magical super powers (i.e., mimic anyone's voice; the transformation twirl; and the
ability to see the good in everyone). And let's not forget to include her invisible
jet/Wonderdome cast of characters.
As for a No-No List, how about the following Don’ts as well:
1. Don't make her a teenager; make her 2000+ years old. It makes for a richer background
and back-story.
2. Don't make her fly. She's not Superman. That's what her cool and unique invisible
jet is for.
3. Don't take away her iconic costume. She wears the American flag and that's part
of her unique appeal.
4. Don't make her overtly sexy/sexual.
5. Don't make her too mannish/butch. Allow her to have some curves, just not gratuitous
jiggle.
6. Don't cast well-known actors other than Lynda Carter (for obvious reasons). Allow
views the chance to get to know the character as the character and not some actor
AS the character. Christopher Reeve and Lynda Carter are great examples of this!
7. Don't exclude villains from her comics. There are tons of great ones to use (e.g.,
Circe, Silver Swan, Cheetah, Dr. Poison, Ares, Dr. Psycho, etc.).
8. Don't forget to include her secret identity. The one thing that most EVERYONE
who talks about WW comments on is that FAMOUS Lynda Carter twirl. There's lots of
fun and excitement seeing how she'll be able to keep her secret in order to protect
the ones she loves in Man's World as well as to be undercover.
9. Don't overlook the invisible jet/Wonderdome. Lots of creative possibilities and
uniquely rich characters to draw upon.
10. Don't get rid of her high heels. They're silly in some ways, but she IS a comic
book character, and if you look at most comic book characters, they're costumes really
don't translate into the real world. But that's part of the fantasy and appeal. It's
not supposed to be real world.
