From Actor Feuds To Alcoholism: Behind The Scenes Of Wonder Woman

Was Waggoner a Threat?

Towards the end of the series, Waggoner and Carter appeared in increasingly fewer scenes together due to alleged tensions between the two stars. Waggoner was already a hunky television star in his own right by the time he was cast on Wonder Woman, but apparently he couldn’t shine too bright next to Lynda Carter.

According to sources, “One day someone told [Carter] she was a star, and she simply didn’t want anyone else in the same scene. She feels like Lyle brings the show’s energy level down. As for him – well, you can’t say anything bad about Lyle because the only time he ever becomes angry when he’s ignored.” In recent interviews, however, Carter has denied existence of any tension between them.
