Carter immortalized the iconic superheroine Wonder Woman in the TV series from 1975-1979. The 66-year-old thanked her fans for the monumental moment in an Instagram post.
“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 writes. “But today, as I am honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I want to say a big THANK YOU to my FANS, who have encouraged and cheered me on all of these years. I want you to know how much I appreciate having you in my corner – I never take you for granted. Thank you again to everyone who made this possible. This is a day I will never forget.”
“Wonder Woman” film director Patty Jenkins was at the ceremony along with Carter’s friends, family and fans.
