Lynda Carter Bared it All in Apocalypse Now - Look Again!

Did you know that Lynda Carter posed nude for a scene in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, and that she had to quit the movie’s filming after receiving the role of Wonder Woman? Based loosely upon the classic novel of Heart of Darkness by author Joseph Conrad, Apocalypse Now is considered by many to be one of the greatest war films of all time! Despite this status, the movie generally plays second fiddle to The Godfather when the overall filmography of director Francis Ford Coppola is ranked.

Apocalypse Now came after the success of The Godfather, and this success allowed Francis Ford Coppola to finagle a great deal of creative freedom for himself when making the memorable war epic. The production of Apocalypse Now was notoriously long and turbulent, and many hurdles arose over the course of it that Francis had to work around. One of those hurdles involved Lynda Carter, who would go on to rise to immense fame portraying the character of Wonder Woman on television. Many people don’t realize that Lynda was involved in the production of Apocalypse Now… and that she can be seen completely nude in it!
Lynda Carter ended up having to quit Apocalypse Now after being offered the role of Wonder Woman. Lynda was cast in the role of Miss May, and she did some preliminary work on the film before quitting. Some of this work involved Lynda posing for a mock Playboy centerfold. This Playboy centerfold featured Lynda topless. Despite the fact that actress Colleen Camp replaced Lynda in the role, the original Lynda Carter centerfold can still be seen briefly in both cuts of Apocalypse Now. Join Facts Verse as we explore how Lynda Carter bared it all in Apocalypse Now.

Lynda Carter did a topples scene in a movie called "Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw" with Marjoe Gortner.. The scene only lasted for about 10 seconds, but as a 13 year old boy in 1976, it was the best 10 seconds of my life!!!

[@paulnicolosi4792]

She came into a country bar, back in the 80’s, where I was playing with a band. She was with her sister and a group of friends. As it turned out that we had a mutual friend, we sat and talked during my break. She’s extremely nice in person…

Lynda Carter wasnt in Apocalypse Now. the girl dancing in the opening shot is Cynthia Wood. there was a Linda CARPENTER in the movie though. she didnt have to stop filming Apocalypse Now because of Wonder Woman. WW (not counting the pilot) ran from 1976 to 1979, starting a full year prior to principal filming began for Apocalypse.

[@ZavaXavier]

Exactly also someone in the late 90s or early 2000s photoshopped Lynda's face on Colleen Camp's poster she's the one who's in the film these channel should quit lying.

[@user-rg7uh9se4c]

Another rumor about Lynda Carter was she was Luma in Spock's Brain. That was actually Sheila Leighton who looked like Lynda Carter in the first shot in the ST ep we saw Sheila in!

You guys forgot that Martin Sheen had a Heart Attack during filming, besides the Hurricane, Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, drugs and alcohol abuse on set. It is truly a miracle that the movie was finished at all. You also forgot that Harison Ford, Laurence Fishburne, Scott Glen, Harvey Keitel, and Robert Duvall are all in the cast.

[@2cupojoe136]

Keitel was fired and never made it on film.

Apocalypse Now also featured a very young and then relatively unknown Harrison Ford who appeared as Colonel Lucas in the briefing of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) early in the film.

[@darganx]

The filming of Apocalyse took so long, by the time it got released Ford shot the scene, auditioned and took the role of Han Solo, shot the film in England, the film got released and became a worldwide hit, went back as Solo and filmed the sequel.. and Coppola had only JUST cut Apocalypse Now for release.

[@michaelmcclaryjr3752]

It was the first time that he appeared for more than 15 minutes and he had done a great job

[@stevecagle2317]

I saw AN with a good friend from highschool who joined the Marine Corps. He came home on leave and told me some of the "old hands" in his unit who had served in Vietnam told him the movie captured the insanity that was Vietnam. If I hadn't known that I would've dismissed the movie as fake sensationalism.

Lynda Carter made the nightly trip to the talk shows of that era. She and Raquel Welch were the only two that when they walked out and joined the other guests, put the other women guests at total unease. Total intimidation.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

An exception may be Raquel's appearance on the Dick Cavett show minutes after he'd interviewed Janis Joplin (two months before Janis's death). Raquel was gracious, directed her interest and comments twd Janis, as well as Dick. Janis did not look discomfited. Raquel had a lovely, soft voice.

[@dtuk22]

Colleen Camp as another of the playgirls in the movie, I've never really thought it looks like her even at her young age at the time.

I've just been going through my Grandparents family history. My GGGramps Captain James Douglas Warren came from P.E.I. in 1885. He opened up the Trade Routes around Vancouver Island to the Haida Gwaii. He was the last owner if the S.S.Beaver, it sunk at Prospect Point in 1888. 1st Steamship to cross the ocean from England in 1837. In 1979, there was a Family Reunion in P.E.I. Warren & Goudrop are mentioned in My People My Island P.E.I. by John Chalbrick, one of the quest was " June Whitney Taylor" , she was in Winder Woman, Ironside, Perry Mason etc, from Vancouver. I just found out and assume she was a good actress.

[@andysandoval4572]

I don't have a favorite scene; It is too difficult to decide because it might be the greatest movie ever!

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

Lynda Carter is married to a big time DC Attorney and she lives in Potomac, MD. I met her at a car dealership around 2000. She is even more stunning in person than on film. I was completely taken with her. I met Ted Koppel at the same place.

[@aliensoup2420]

Lynda Carter is awesome, but I think her presence in Apocalypse Now would have diminished the movie. She is too recognizable, and her fresh-faced, wholesome appearance doesn't fit with the sort of sleazy vibe of the USO show.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Agreed. Lynda is teeming with class.

[@od1452]

In college I had a fellow GI buddy (Nam Vet) that would drop out for a while and travel. He was in the Philippines in a bar when he found out they were filming AN and looking for GIs to help out. They hired him as a costume consultant ( I don't know the technical term.) Cople noticed he looked a lot like Brando ( when he was young and fit) in build and some what in looks... so as I was told , My Buddy was used as a stand in for Brando in long shots showing him as leading his men in action . The shots were cut out and never used in the original. .I don't know about the redux. . He told me all this when he came back to school. Since the movie showed up many months later I never doubted my buddy was telling the truth.

I spent some time studying the image closely, and comparing it to the few movie scenes where Lynda was topless, and I concluded that the size and shape of the attributes appeared to match. Hard to know for sure, the centerfold image has kind of an ethereal quality to it. Real of fake, it is enjoyable to look at.

3:59 This girl dancing in the skimpy blue is Cyndi Wood. Playmate of the year 1973. We were close classmates in Jr. High. Had the biggest crush on her even then. I was so out of my league.

[@clairwaucaush7225]

I saw Apocalypse Now on opening night. And then several dozen times since then. I hate the Redux version (pronounced re-doo). It was a commercial trick to help sell the dvd. One of the main points of the film is the isolation of the crew, mainly Capt. Willard. In the redux they have interaction with the playmates. Then Willard is with some woman on the French plantation. Those were too 'typical movie scenes'. Keeping them apart from everyone and civilization as they drift downstream keeps in with the theme. The only downside of Apocalypse Now is Marlon Brando. He was such a knucklehead and after so many viewings he comes across as way too depressed and out of it to do what his character was supposed to have done. Otherwise it's one great movie. Martin Sheen is totally great in it, even after having a heart attack during shooting! The six track sound in the theaters at it's release was absolutely great. I've never heard it so good since then. I was sitting in the middle of the theatre and when the rocket shot out from the jungle right at the camera, the SOUND was perfect. Myself and several people in that area all ducked! It got a laugh out of everyone not near us. That's how perfect the sound was. People on the left of the theatre heard things that people on the right didn't because they had other sounds coming at them. And the Tiger made EVERYONE jump!!

Well, it is Playboy and they are known for "airbrushing" the shots to make them "better". In this case making it look "fake" is the authentic thing to do. The centerfold isn't not suppose to be a genuine topless shot of Lynda, it's suppose to be a Playboy centerfold!!

I was in the Navy, stationed at Subic Bay, Philippines, when they were filming Apocalypse Now. I remember the handouts and signs that were posted around the base asking for extras for the movie. The Admiral and Base Commander put out a message instructing any military member found participating in the movie would be prosecuted under the UCMJ for being there. Seems the movie, by military standards, did not reflect our military values and image. Hence, quite a lot of the base decided not to go to the filming opportunity and those that did, did so very covertly.

The assault by LtC. Kilgore's unit on the village is the best of AN.

It makes us appreciate Richard Wagner's classical music Ride of the Valkyries.

To heck with Apocalypse Now. Check her out in Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw (1976).

[@patrickc.8676]

Why do I feel like you are confusing her with Linda Carpenter who actually played a playmate in the film and briefly appeared in Wonder Woman?

[@carlhelmick7711]

I just planed out like the movie. I thought it was pretty good and I really like to Robert Duvall in it. I don't get me wrong I like Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando too. It was just a good movie. But that's just me.

[@Hi_Mommy953]

P I loved everything about Apocalypse now it actually remind me a little bit of Vietnam back in the early seventies but it was so real so portrayed so good really incredible you have to been there to realize the set was done and the whole thing was was believable since I was really in Vietnam May 1969

[@FactsVerse]

Glad to know that you're a fan of the film! Be on the lookout for our next video 💗

[@gdub2485]

Filming for Apocalypse Now didn't begin until 1976, and Linda Carter was already starring in Wonder Woman in 1975.

[@sebastianblack6506]

She had planned on shooting the film during her hiatus from Wonder Woman. Principal photography of Apocalypse Now began in March 20th of 1976. The typhoon hit in late May, shutting down the film. Production resumed in July of 76 but by then Carter had to return to Wonder Woman for the 2nd season. So yes, you are correct, the OP got the events wrong, she already had the role.

I was waiting for the light to change on Columbus St in San Francisco when a guy walks up next to me. It was Coppola. This was right by the Zoetrope building. He said hello pleasantly. So I asked him "How long an Apocalypse Now could you make?" He laughed. "So it's coherent?" "So it's coherent for guys like me," I replied. "Well, there's a lot of guys like you out there. I could make a 24 hour version that would make sense." The light changed and that was the end of the conversation.

A.N. IS ONE OF THE DARKEST BUT BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME. After going to a fluffy chick flick I sometimes but on A.N. to bring me back. The Redux is the best.

[@Bob1942ful]

Actually read “Heart of Darkness” after hearing this was based on it. Based loosely is a correct statement. Be interesting to see a movie actually based on the book.

[@KevinR1138]

A TV movie version starring John Malkovich and Tim Roth was made in 1993, it wasn’t bad.

[@edbruder9975]

Clint Eastwoods "White Hunter, Black Heart", 1990, was based on "Heart of Darkness.

When mister clean is ordering fuel for their boat at the USO show you can see Lyndas playboy centerfold hanging with some wooden clothes pins off a line. And the saucier was admiring Lynda's centerfold when they got back on the boat. This is in the extended cut.

[@kenvangoe9358]

Lynda Carter was definitely a wonder woman and one of my favorites she was hot then and still hot now. Marlin Brandos words of the horror in the dark are memorable as is Duvals love of napalm in the morning on the beach new some CO'S that fit that mold. To bad she wasn't really on stage in the movie but still love looking at her.

[@MaximGhost]

4:49 While Lynda Carter and Colleen Camp weren't actually Playboy Playmates, the other two were. So, those two weren't really actresses playing Playmates but rather Playmates playing actresses playing Playmates. (Yup, try to wrap your head around that one.) Linda Carpenter was Playboy's actual Playmate of the Month for August 1976. Cynthia Wood was Playboy's actual Playmate of the Month in February 1973. Playboy then select her to be their Playmate of the Year in 1974. So, it's fitting that she also played the Playmate of the Year role in "Apocalypse Now" as well ... that's the one in the blue bikini cowgirl outfit who's front-and-center shooting her two six-shooters. Like Collean Camp, she had no lines in the theatrical release but she did have line in the "Redux" version. I thought she did a really good job with her lines ... probably because as an actual Playmate of the Year, she was already exposed to a lot of public exposure. ... anyway, just some another extra tidbits since Lynda Carter and Colleen Camp were mentioned quite a bit at the start of this video.

[@walcoman]

Nobody, except for the guy that built the original set that hang proudly and gloriously upon Linda's chest could ever create twins so perfectly shaped ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@niceguy5976]

You can search online "Lynda Carter in Playboy Poster for Apocalypse Now" and see the prop photo that was done for the movie. Some people think that they used photoshop using her face to make the centerfold for the movie, some people think she posed nude for the prop photo. I think it was photoshopped for the movie, but you can decide for yourself.

[@Ease54]

Photoshop was introduced in 1990, although there were other means to manipulate photos before that.

[@niceguy5976]

@@Ease54 I was using photoshop as a generic term for photo enhancement/manipulation, not Adobe Photoshop. I guess I should have chosen another word. Thanks for the info.

[@Ease54]

@@niceguy5976 I wouldn't pass up the chance to manipulate Lynda Carter by any means available...

[@rubenoteiza9261]

That is NOT Lynda Carter in the left, that is Cynthia Wood, Playmate of the Year 1974 for Play Boy.

[@borusa32]

One of the most memorable scenes was the Ride of The Valkyries helicopter gunship sortie with Robert Duvall as Colonel Kilgore loving the smell of napalm in the morning.Satire mode engaged full.

We remember that scene too! Thank you for bringing back memories. What other types of video would you like to see?

[@pantherman16]

Fun Fact: Frederic Forrest as SaucierJay "Chef" Hicks, tells Miss May (Colleen Camp) I want you baby. She replies he's cute. 5 years later Forrest and Camp would go on to play husband and wife Health Food Store Owners Steve and Sarah Richman, parents to VALLEY GIRL Julie Richman (Deborah Foreman) in Valley Girl. With Coppola's nephew, Nicholas Cage starring. RIP Frederic Forrest.

[@debbiecamp2205]

COOL!

[@Jamesharris-lo9nn]

Unfortunately Lynda Carter's nude poster WAS NOT featured in Apocalypse Now. The poster that is featured so heavily in the movie is of Colleen Camp. If you compare (trust me i have 😁) the poster of Lynda (easily found with a Google search) with that of the film poster you realize that the models are different. Just study their faces. The clothes and the pose are the same but when Lynda ditched the production they reshot the poster with Colleen Camp. A real bummer but at least all of us Lynda Carter fans have the original poster to enjoy.

[@ZavaXavier]

Both posters are of Colleen Camp they just digitalize Lynda's head on there.

I prefer "Apocalypse Now, Redux" and my favorite scene is the air assault on "Charlie's point" with Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" blaring in the background. Air Cav, death from above!

I liked the helicopter "Ride of the Walkyries" scene the best.
