Actually, I think there was one before her but, yeah, she was the best.

It's like Christopher Reeve and Superman. Some actors are just iconic in the
role and it'll be at least a full generation before someone else takes over that
position to the same degree.

Nope, she was the original TV one. They could have done without the damn corset
under the costume though. She would have looked fine without it. Probably
better, at least in my opinion.
There was an episode of Bones where Temperance wore a Wonder Woman costume for
Halloween that gave Linda Carter a run for the money, I tell ya!

Wonder Woman (1974)
Cathy Lee Crosby in the first Wonder Woman film.Wonder Woman's first appearance
in live-action television was a television movie made in 1974 for ABC. Written
by John D. F. Black, the TV movie resembles the Wonder Woman of the "I
Ching" period. Wonder Woman (Cathy Lee Crosby) did not wear the comic book
costume, demonstrated no superhuman abilities and her "secret
identity" of Diana Prince was not all that secret. The film follows Wonder
Woman, assistant to government agent Steve Trevor (Kaz Garas) as she pursues a
villain named Abner Smith (Ricardo Montalban) who has stolen a set of code books
containing classified information about U.S. government field agents.[4]
The pilot aired originally on March 12, 1974[5] and was repeated on August 21 of
that year.[6] Ratings were described as "respectable but not exactly
wondrous."[7] ABC did not pick up the pilot, although Crosby would later
claim she was offered the series that was eventually given to Lynda Carter.[8]
An ABC spokesperson would later acknowledge that the decision to update the
character was a mistake[7] and the pilot itself has been labeled one of the
"hundred dumbest events in television."[4]

You're right, my mistake. I got the dates screwed up I guess and thought that
came later.
