American actress, singer, songwriter and model Lynda Carter, who is most widely known as the star of the American live-action television series "Wonder Woman" in the 1970s, was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.
Speaking at the memorable event, the 66-year-old actress said "It will be here forever, and maybe it needs to say Wonder Woman, or maybe not, we'll see. Hopefully, this character and I will live on in the memories of people."
"There was no women in television during my era. So they didn't really think that we could hold an audience," she added.
The ceremony was attended by Patty Jenkins, the director of the 2017 "Wonder Woman" film which took in $821 million worldwide, as well as dozens of Carter's fans.
She addressed the #MeToo movement sparked by the Harvey Weinstein sex abuse scandal, which ended his career and those of numerous other powerful Hollywood figures.
The "#MeToo movement is strong and I give everything to this generation," she said. "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."
Carter played the super heroine character between 1975 and 1979 on television, first on ABC and then CBS, part of an acting career that has spanned several decades.
After taking acting classes at several New York acting schools, she made her first acting appearance, in an episode of the 1974 police drama Nakia entitled "Roots of Anger". She soon began making appearances on such TV shows as Starsky and Hutch and Cos, as well as appearances in several "B" movies.
She is also a beauty pageant titleholder, who was crowned Miss World America 1972.
