TV’s original Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the 66-year-old actor addressed speculation she may make a cameo in the forthcoming Wonder Woman 2 movie sequel along the way.

Carter posted pictures from the ceremony on social media, thanking fans and saying: “It seems impossible that I’ve been in the entertainment industry for 50 years. But I love this business. I love the creative process, the work, the performing ... all of it.”

Carter was Wonder Woman on television between 1975 and 1979 and said of the star: “It will be here for ever, and maybe it needs to say Wonder Woman. Hopefully this character and I will live on in the memories of people.”

Interviewed before the ceremony by Variety magazine, Carter said of any role in the new Wonder Woman movie: “I’m just going to leave it up to the universe and Patty.”

Director Patty Jenkins, who was at the ceremony, said: “It’s quite incredible to become a part of the story with someone I admire as much as I do Lynda. As the years have gone on, I’ve come to admire that she carried that same spirit into her personal life as well.”

“It was Lynda’s portrayal of Wonder Woman that made me fall in love with her, because her Wonder Woman made me believe that I could have whatever I wanted, and even more importantly, it made me unashamed to want it.”

The two have been in touch since Jenkins first took the role of directing Wonder Woman for the big screen, and the director says that from the first time they spoke on the phone they could finish each other’s sentences, and have exchanged “some incredibly funny texts since then”.The current Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot, also paid tribute on social media to her predecessor, tweeting: “Congrats my beloved beautiful Lynda Carter. Thank you for your loving kindness shared by the sisterhood of women of wonder.”

Carter had some words in support of Hollywood’s #MeToo movement as well, saying: “The #MeToo movement is strong and I give everything to this generation. What my generation can do is support you. We’ve been screaming the same thing but it took this generation of women to make the difference.”

“Most women have been hit on, and being hit on is different than assault, and it is different if you’re being pressured because you are a subordinate or you’re being drugged. I’m not saying that you need to be assaulted to have a hand up for #MeToo. If you are super uncomfortable and got yourself in your situation, you get yourself out. And if you see that guy coming, you warn other people.”
