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

Carter’s Struggle

While Altman and his partner were ultimately acquitted, the whole ordeal led Carter’s alcoholism to spiral out of control.

At the time, she also had two young children with Altman, for whom she says she wasn’t really present, she told Express, “I didn’t drink during my pregnancies but I wasn’t really present for my two children, though my kids never saw me out of control. But when I had a drink I couldn’t stop. Most people have a drink and feel a little high but I’d feel nothing. My liver doesn’t process alcohol until I’ve had three drinks. Then I’d fall off the cliff of under the table.”
