Lynda Jean Carter (born July 24, 1951) is an American actress and singer, best known for being Miss World USA 1972 and as the star of the 1970s television series The New Original Wonder Woman (1975–77) and The New Adventures of Wonder Woman (1977–79). The epitome of the word "statuesque," brunette, big blue-eyed, and 6' tall Lynda Carter was once considered one of the most beautiful women in the western world. Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Carter's height caused considerable awkwardness in high school. Friends encouraged her to become a performer; she began studying voice and by the time she graduated, she was named her school's most talented student. She briefly attended Arizona State University, but dropped out to become a professional singer and tour the country with several rock groups. By 1972, Carter had returned home and entered a local beauty pageant. She won and went on to win the title of Miss World-USA. After that, Carter studied acting in New York. She started her career in television making guest appearances on such shows as Starsky and Hutch, but Carter did not become famous until winning the title role of Wonder Woman in 1975. The Wonder Woman shows originally started out as specials on the ABC network, but by 1976 had been turned into a series. The network canceled the show after one season and it was picked up by CBS and aired there for a few years. When the series ended, she had a somewhat successful career as a Las Vegas entertainer. She also continues to occasionally appear in television movies and as a series guest star. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The French Riviera sparkled under a golden sun as Jack Callahan arrived in Nice hoping for a quiet getaway. Across the Côte d’Azur, Milo “Sugar” Romano, a sharp-witted former con artist, was plotting a daring heist: a legendary jewel called The Sapphire of Saint-Tropez, displayed at a glamorous Riviera gala. To pull it off, he enlisted Vince Russo and Leo “Lucky” Moretti, master gamblers and drivers. Henri Taboureau, a lovable, absent-minded French mechanic, restores a vintage yacht. Fate or pure chaos swept him into the unfolding schemes, his bungled repairs inadvertently thwarting and aiding the would-be thieves alike. In the midst of it all, Forrest King, a legendary Riviera thief in golden years, prepared to charm his way through the gala for a final heist, oblivious to the competition closing in from every direction. Rico Blaze, a flamboyant celebrity host, broadcast the gala live, his antics unintentionally complicating the thieves’ plans. Jack found himself falling for Clara Bellemont, a sophisticated heiress with secrets of her own, while Henri’s clumsy antics triggered a series of misunderstandings, flirtations, and accidental heroics. Near arrests, mistaken identities, and comical mishaps unfolded on the Riviera’s sun-drenched streets. Late at night in Monte Carlo, all schemes collided. In a dazzling scenes of clever escapes, speedboat chases, and last-minute improvisations, Jack and Clara finally slipped away aboard a restored vintage speedboat, the jewel safe.
