Wonder Woman Lynda Carter: `I`m an Alcoholic`

To children of the `70s, she was a glamorous TV icon with her bullet-proof bracelets and Star-Spangled corset.

But now Wonder Woman Lynda Carter has turned the "Lasso of Truth" on herself, admitting publicly that she`s an alcoholic.

"I was so good at hiding it too," the 56-year-old mother-of-two tells TV`s The Insider. "Brilliant."

But, she says, she could not keep the secret from her family: Her attorney husband Robert Altman and their two children, Jamie, 20, and Jessica, 17.

"My husband asked me ... `Can`t you just stop this for the children and for me?` "

His plea prompted her to seek treatment at a rehab facility near her home in Washington, D.C. "I needed help – I begged God in heaven to help me figure this out," says Carter, now sober for nearly ten years.

What has the recovery process taught her? The best measure of a human being, she says, is "how we treat the people who love us, and the people that we love."
