“Proud Mama” Lynda Carter Gushes Over Daughter Who Looks & Sounds Like Her | “A Dream Come True”

Before Gal Gadot played Wonder Woman, it was the stunning Lynda Carter who first portrayed the golden lasso-wielding iconic DC superhero. It's hard to believe the actress has turned 71. She looks as ravishing as ever according to her fans. One person commented on a recent picture of the star from a few months ago on Instagram writing, "Looking terrific Lynda!"

The Wonder Woman star married her second husband, Robert Altman, in 1984 and had two children together, a boy, James Altman, and a girl, Jessica Carter Altman. Her beautiful daughter who looks and sounds just like her is now all grown up! The 32-year-old has even followed her passion for singing and her mom couldn't be more excited for her. The pair love performing together. Carter told TODAY a couple of years ago there's nothing like being able to hold her daughter's hand on stage and "have our voices blend." She went on to call it "a joy that I hadn’t experienced before, a dream come true" and something that "pushes me to be a better performer."

Carter recently shared a song her daughter made, gushing over how proud she is. She captioned the Instagram post, "Proud mama alert! 'Blood Moon' by @jessica.carter.altman is now available as a music video."

Carter is reveling in her daughter's success while also trying to navigate life without her beloved husband. They spend nearly four decades together as a happily married couple. Sadly Altman died in February 2021 of myelofibrosis, a rare blood cancer. The 73-year-old video game company CEO passed away after a surgical procedure, and the grieving widow honored him in a beautiful post on Instagram. "Robert is the love of my life and he always will be," she shared along with the photo of the two of them from their younger days.

"Our 37 years of marriage were an extraordinary gift. We shared the passion I hope everyone is lucky enough to experience in their lifetime. We protected each other and were each other’s champions always," added the mother-of-two. "We have always been grateful for the two beautiful lives we created together: our children, Jessica and James. They are the lights of my life, and were the greatest joy of Robert’s. I see so much of Robert in them, and I know he lives on through them."

She went on to describe the late love of her life as "the most honorable person" she had the "privilege" of knowing. "I got to be your wife and the mother of your children. Thank you for giving me all the love in my life. Nothing could prepare our family for this moment, but we will do our best to follow our dreams and honor the legacy you’ve left behind. I will love you always and forever," she added.

The Hawkeye star admitted that this next phase of her life terrifies her without her husband of 37 years. "The next part of my life is I want to learn who I am," she told PEOPLE in 2021. "It's totally frightening. I don't know who I am without Robert," she said. "It still gets me," she added through tears. "I just can't believe I've lost him."
