WASHINGTON -- The actress who played Wonder Woman on TV in the 1970s says she didn't do anything extraordinary when she discovered a body this week on the Potomac River in Washington. Lynda Carter tells The Washington Post she was alone in a boat when she saw the body Wednesday. She says she didn't have a cell phone with her, so she yelled to some fishermen and asked them to call police. Carter waited until rescuers arrived and directed them to the body. District of Columbia police say the body of 47-year-old Helen Johnstone of Washington was found floating on the river Wednesday. The medical examiner's office has not declared an official cause of death. Carter says she "did what anybody would have done." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/07/AR2008060700071.html "Excuse me." "Y-y-you're Wonder Woman." "Can you call the police?" "Holy shit! You are Wonder Woman." "There's a floating corpse here." "Do you have the lasso?"

The article does not state whether Helen Johnstone was a costumed villianess before her demise.

You may be thinking that it isn't safe to go boating alone. But those of us who remember Lynda know that she was fully equipped with a magnificent set of flotation devices. Later
