Lynda Carter's 'At Last' CDShe was known to millions as "Wonder Woman" on the 1970s televisionseries of the same name. Actress and recording artist Lynda Carter isflying high again with the release of At Last.  

Yes, asLynda Carter proves, there is life after "Wonder Woman." But, withtracks like "You Send Me," her new album begs the question, when didshe start singing?

Lynda Carter was introduced to country, bluesand classical music while growing up in Phoenix, Arizona. She became aprofessional singer at age 14, but after winning the beauty pageanttitle of Miss World USA, she moved to Hollywood, California, to pursuean acting career.  

While her role on "Wonder Woman" as thesuper heroine Princess Diana took her to dizzying new heights, Carternever gave up on singing. In fact, she performed two songs from herfirst solo album, Portrait, on an episode of her show.

Lifeafter the series was even busier as Carter continued to work wonders inshow business. She acted on stage and screen, hosted her own varietyshows, endorsed cosmetics as a celebrity promotional model, contributedvoice work for video games, and sang in nightclubs.  
At last, at age 58, Carter has a hit record.

When At Last jumped into the Top 10 on Billboard's Jazz Albums chart,Lynda Carter couldn't have been happier. She says, "As someone whostarted out as a singer, it's always been a dream to be on theBillboard chart."  

Carter marked her return to singing with therole of Mama Thornton in a musical production of Chicago in London. Her recent tour of "An Intimate Evening with Lynda Carter" culminatedwith a performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

On At Last, Carter revives the works of Johnny Mercer, Jerome Kern,Harold Arlen, Helen Humes, and George and Ira Gershwin, as well as theJimmy Harris melody "Cloudburst."
