Lynda Carter Film Fest on Tubi

OP- She had fame and adulation as Wonder Woman . But that show went off the air in May 1979 and that was the peak of her career. Showbiz can be ruthless like that. The father from Eight Is Enough Dick Van Patten once said - You're only as successfull as the show you're on- true.

And today Lynda is a billionairess.

Tubi should air the Lynda Carter Special as well.

I'm going to watch these all this week.

These all sound wholly frautrageous.

I’d watch the hotline one, though.

Quite big tits

Hotline is great. Just finished watching it. Some sound issues but for a gem like this I will gladly not complain.

Starting The Last Song now. Poor Jenny O'Hara's kid died when he fell in the toxic waste hole and as she howls in pain at the loss of her child we immediately cut to Lynda crooning in a dive bar!

Why is Louanne allowed in a bar?

I mean the child actress (Oh God Book II) NOT the Countess de Lesseps, who also has no business being in a bar.

I miss the days of real TV movies before Lifetime.

Those TV movies back in the 80s were so craptastic. All the big TV actresses of the time did them. Lynda also played Rita Hayworth in a TV movie.

Lynda was invited to partake in some of the notoriously rigorous acting workshops overseen by Deirdre Hall and Jaclyn Smith, wherein they did scene studies from the works of Ibsen, Moliere and Hansbury at one another's homes and then gave each other copious acting notes afterwards. According to those in the know, Lynda was not asked to return as her acting was deemed by Hall to be "lightweight and shallow" and Smith said her performance "lacked grittiness and emotional rawness."

Thank you OP! I swear Tubi was made for The Datalounge.

ABC Movie of The Week proudly presents "Goodbye, Maggie Cole," starring "Miss Helen Lawson," with special theme song performed by Dusty Springfield.

The one I actually do remember, for some reason.

Lynda Carter and her late husband owned a big interest in the computer game company called Bethesda Games for quite awhile.

I had a niece and her husband who worked there and said they were both great to work with and very good to their employees......

I remember watching Hotline when it was first on tv, then a few years later it was released on VHS, I *think* .

She was great here.

Lynda Carter is worth a fortune thanks to her husband's software company, like "fortune" meaning hundreds of millions. She's never had to do the convention circuit with that kind of $$$$.

^^^Big deal. I'm self-actualized!

R10- That's a good word Craptastic.

I officially nominate that word as a NEW official datalounge word.

A perfect movie example of CRAPtastic is Showgirls (1995)
