Who can forget Lynda Carter and her iconic TV role as Wonder Woman in the 1970s? And just recently, the 71-year-old actress let us know where she learned her legendary fighting skills.
Carter weighed in this week on a viral video of a fight at a Waffle House in Texas. She wrote a funny tween on Dec. 29th: “I trained at Waffle House,” she wrote above an old clip of her punching through a chair as Wonder Woman against a villain on the show.
Carter was referencing the viral clip of a fight in an Austin, Texas Waffle House where a female employee catches a chair with one hand that an angry patron threw across the counter at her.
Carter played the superhero on the TV show from 1975 to 1979. Her counterpart in the Austin Waffle House not only caught the chair and discarded it, but kept her other hand on the frying pan she was cooking with. And later the cook threw some punches at patrons who came over the counter to attack her.
A Twitter user brought the whole scene to Carter’s attention.
Carter then joked on the social media platform, “I did not catch anything…but clearly she did?”
Fans of Wonder Woman loved Carter’s tweet, and that included the official account for DC Comics, the publisher of Wonder Woman comics.
Maybe a new issue will come out that includes some Waffle House training. If so, Carter tweeted previously that she always has her Wonder Woman costume on standby.
After tweeting a picture of her old custom framed behind glass, she wrote:
1. Some outfits are never sent to the back of the closet.
2. It’s really more of a “break glass in case of emergency” situation.
Let’s hope this isn’t the end of this great storyline.
