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

Carter Invented Wonder Woman’s Spin

In the comic strips, when Diana Prince turns into Wonder Woman, she leaves the room and then comes back as the super hero. On screen, the Wonder Woman television show creators wanted something a bit more dramatic. Always the big thinker, Lynda Carter is the one who suggested the spin that turns Prince into Wonder Woman. She was a dancer, so the spin came naturally.

They added the light explosion effect later on, to make the transition seem seamless, instead of the previous way that they were filming it, as previously mentioned. Apparently, Carter was also open to performing her own stunts on occasion.
