The iconic Wonder Woman star, Lynda Carter, took to Instagram on Monday, sharing a stunning throwback photo from her 20s. The 72-year-old actress and singer looked incredible in a low-cut silver swimsuit, striking a superhero pose with her hands on her hips. Her long hair was styled with the front pulled back, and her makeup was light, showcasing her natural beauty.
This captivating image is being used as the cover art for her new song, “Pink Slip Lollipop.” Carter gave her fans a sneak peek of the fun track, which features a twangy pop beat, electric guitar riffs, and exuberant background vocals. The former pageant queen looks stunning in the cover art, bathed in a pink hue.
Carter captioned the post with a playful message: “Boys, get ready for the pink slip. This one’s for the ladies! PINK SLIP LOLLIPOP – a hot new pop single, streaming June 21 on @applemusic, @spotify, or wherever you listen to music.”

Earlier this year, Carter paid tribute to her late husband, Robert Altman, with an emotional song titled “Letters From Earth,” released on Valentine’s Day. In an interview with People, she shared the inspiration behind the heartfelt number, expressing the difficulty of imagining a life without the person you love.
Carter’s music often draws from her personal experiences, and “Letters From Earth” includes poignant lyrics such as “Letters from Earth, sealed within my heart, delivered in my dreams, ever since we’ve been apart …” and “Do you know that spring came early? Have you heard the world’s at war? That I moved down to Miami, and I love you more and more?”
The song serves as a tribute to her husband, a video game executive, who passed away in 2021 from a rare form of leukemia. The couple shared a son, James, 35, and a daughter, Jessica, 33.
Lynda Carter is not just an actress and a singer but also a songwriter with a long history in the music industry. “I’ve been singing for over 50 years,” she shared with People. “I started singing in clubs when I was 14, and was writing music before I became an actor.”

Since Altman’s passing, Carter has channeled her energy into charitable causes, including her collaboration with City of Hope to fund critical research for complex blood cancers like the one that took her husband’s life. Altman initially battled myelofibrosis, a bone marrow disorder, which later progressed to secondary myeloid leukemia, a condition with limited treatment options.
Carter’s charitable endeavors also extend to her partnership with Moms Demand Action, an organization dedicated to ending gun violence. In a heartfelt statement, she expressed her desire for all mothers to see their children come home safe and for families to be spared the devastation of gun violence. She emphasized the importance of secure firearm storage and advocated for common-sense gun legislation to save lives.

Moms Demand Action has a robust network of volunteers across the nation, empowering individuals to advocate for gun safety policies and initiate local efforts for a safer future. Through her partnership with this organization, Carter aims to amplify the voices of mothers and drive substantial change.
Carter’s previous single, “Rise Up,” released last year, was an empowering anthem for unity, action, and change. Now, she is harnessing that message to mobilize mothers in the fight against gun violence, aligning with her broader goal of community mobilization before the crucial 2024 election.
Lynda Carter’s daughter, Jessica Carter Altman, is also a singer. She recently released a song titled “Clumsy (Wedding version)” and will be performing at the Troubadour in West Hollywood on June 17. On Instagram, Jessica shared the inspiration behind her new song, revealing how her clumsy moments became a part of her love story.
