• When Lynda Carter received word over the phone from her agent that she had landed the role of Wonder Woman, she only had $25 in her bank account and was ready to move back home.
• Lynda Carter received a standing ovation from the cast and crew the very first time she walked onto the set wearing the Wonder Woman costume.
• When Wonder Woman is first seen in costume, she is wearing a skirt which she quickly removes when her mother suggests it might be cumbersome. This is an homage to the original costume worn by the comic book character, which also featured a skirt that was eventually discarded for the same reason.
