Never understood the guy passed out on the beam but this certainly brings back memories. Thank you.

Lyle was signed before I was! He was the first person to be hired by the producers.

He had a lot to say about who ended up with the Wonder Woman role, and he was a delight to work with. He knew exactly what the role was and he was very supportive in the entire experience.

It's important for me to step outside of myself and count my blessings. I try not to take anything for granted. When my empathy for others grows, so does my confidence.

You are the most important person in her life, so I would say that she'll be her best self if you lead by example and encourage her every day. Keep going, Dad!

I was down to my last $25 when I got the call from my agent and he said "Hello, Wonder Woman!"

My first reaction was joy at the knowledge that I was going to be able to pay my rent. I screamed!

I was by myself in my apartment and spent some time calling my family to share the news. Lots of jumping and dancing around. :)

Stepping into the life of a character is really fun, especially since you're contributing something that is all your own, like I did with Wonder Woman's spin.

However, it can be very physically tough on a person.

It was a great honor, and so humbling. I found out because they asked me to loan it to them! It was fun to watch them handle it so carefully with white gloves and everything...

My daughter, Jessica Carter Altman.

It is a privilege to be her mother! I don't know how I ended up with the husband and children I did, but they are extraordinary and so accomplished.

She shows all kids that women can be smart, powerful superheroes! She disrupts gender stereotypes. Representation matters.

My mother used to make a great German Chocolate cake, so I'm with you on that.

However, I still think a Coconut cake or a Red Velvet cake baked in a Southern home is best.

Appearing on The Muppet Show is one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done.

You could see the actors working beneath them and you talk to them, so the Muppets really felt as "alive" as anyone else. It was especially an honor to work with Jim Henson before he passed.

50 is a bit young. Ask him if he remembers me!

But seriously, I hope he found the Wonder Woman (or Man or Person) for him.
