The group opened at the Sahara Hotel and Casino lounge in Las Vegas for three months; because Lynda was under 21, she had to enter through the kitchen.

Lynda in 1972 she decided to leave the Garfin Gathering to pursue acting, and she returned to Arizona.

Lynda Carter Wonder Woman

Lynda’s  acting career began when she landed the starring role on Wonder Woman as the title character and her secret identity, Diana Prince. The savings she had set aside from her days of touring on the road with her band  to pursue acting in Los Angeles were almost exhausted, and she was close to returning to Arizona when Carter’s manager informed her that Joanna Cassidy had lost the part to her. Lynda ‘s earnest performance greatly endeared her to both fans and critics and as a result, she continues to be closely identified with Wonder Woman.

The Wonder Woman series lasted for three seasons, which aired on ABC and later from 1975 to 1979 on CBS.
