Lynda Carter appreciation thread...

Post » Mon Dec 07, 2015 2:34 pm

As many of you know, or may not, Lynda Carter has done voices for a few games the most notable of which would be Azura in Elder Scrolls. But some may remember her as Wonder Woman. If none of this rings a bell then you should be aware that she is also the voice of Magnolia in Fallout 4. She not only does the voice acting but she also sings ( no spoiler but most everyone should have encountered Magnolia by now ) in Fallout 4. Thing is - she not only sings but she wrote the lyrics for the songs. I am sure many of you already knew this but do yourselves a favor and go back and ask Magnolia to sing for you. This will not take too much time away from your game play but she wrote 5 songs for this game.

Generally I am not a fan of jazzy tunes ( I am more inclined to listen to the Melvins, Mastodon, Tool, and Opeth but I branch out into everything from Caravan Palace to Die Antwoord ) but I must say Ms. Carter has poured love into this game. Some of you might troll my sentiment but seriously give it a listen. The songs are very good...the band by itself is top notch.

So yeah...thank you Ms. Carter for your efforts and know that at least one person appreciates it.

If nothing else we can all say that we were virtually given the opportunity to take Wonder Woman out on a date and have her sing to us.

Just one more reason why I love Fallout 4.

Seriously though - thank you Ms. Carter.

I've always appreciated Lynda Carter.. most likely because I grew up in the 70's and was an avid fan of Wonder Woman. Had crushes on both her and Barbara Eden from I dream of Jeannie. .. yep.. I wonder why I liked both of them sooooo much? Surely it was because of their talent.. I can't imagine what else it could have been that made my prepubascent blood pressure rise at the sight of them.

Oh I hear ya...I grew up in the 70's as well.

Heartbreaking story but it still makes me chuckle - as a young lad of 5 or 6 my mom had the audacity to ask me if she was prettier than Wonder Woman. She was going through a divorce....yadda yadda. My mother was a very attractive lady back in the day but my young mind had only one response..."Wonder Woman is on TV."

Needless to say the lunchbox I carried to school became significantly lighter...

I've been a fan of her voice work since I first heard her immortal reading of the line "Seen any Elves lately?" in Morrowind. Nobody could do that line like Lynda Carter. :)

Born in 79, so I got the re-runs, but yeah.. oh yeah she has done a wonderful job here yet again.

Ironically, I once complemented my friend's mother (because she really did look like Lynda Carter from her Wonder Woman days) and she got all mad at me!!!

Er... in accordance with forum guidelines all i'll say is she was of a religion that frowned up Ms. Carter's......wardrobe choices.

Wish I'd known that before I tried to butter up to my new friend's mom lol

but yeah... 13 years old, and I got to meet a Carter Clone :celebration:

Good picture of Robert A. Altman looking at Lynda Carter exactly how I used to look at her while watching wonder woman.
