- 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.

Not surprised you lied with a click bate.
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!!!
It was a great ten seconds for me, just a couple years ago. And I am almost a half centrury. :~}
Yup, extremely cultural.
No kidding I have seen that movie too and I loved it 😀
@@rodneyadderton1077 🤣🤣🤣
The 1st thing l did after she pulled her tee shirt down... well... the 2nd thing, because the 1st thing would fall under the category of "Too Much Information 😉"... was to grab the cable guide to find out when it was coming on HBO again, and how to figure out how to get my parents out of the house for at least 10 seconds. 🤣🤣🤣
Lynda Carter was and still is one of the prettiest women around
Yes , She is...to bad she wound up being a radical leftists. 😑🙄
@@bigdeal6852 So she is beautiful and smart… even better
The same cannot be said for Colleen Camp.
@@robtpc Being a lefty is hardly considered being smart. It is kind of an oxymoron, like a peaceful BLM protest.
You mean an oxymoron like conservative patriot…
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…
I'm glad to hear that. I always thought was one of those nice Texas Gals.
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.
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.
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!
Lynda Carter was and will continue to remain beautiful. She's still so beautiful. I loved her stint she did on SVU. Still has those great acting chops. 😊
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What is your favorite role of Lynda?
I’ve watched this movie so many times and never have I seen her in it.
Lynda Carter is a totally beautiful woman. She's a brilliant talented actress. I didn't know that she had in a part in Apocalypse Now. Wonderful Woman!
No she is isn’t. It is sally field playing Norma Rae. Linda carter could never do that role. Meryl Streep is very beautiful but Linda carter ain’t no Meryl Streep.
Meryl Streep defended Roman Polanski, a known pedophile. Which means she's probably a kiddie tickler herself.
She was never in Apocalypse now..
She wasn't. That was the real Playmate of the year at that time. Cynthia Wood was her name.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
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.
Keitel was fired and never made it on film.
She's one of the most striking beauties of our time, as a young woman and today as a mature woman.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. What is your most memorable role of Lynda?
She most definitely was a striking beauty., then and now.
@@FactsVerse The ones she really was in.
My favorite quote in the movie was "Your an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill."
We remember that quote too! Thank you for the trip down memory lane. What other types of video would you like to see?
Hey thanks, probably videos about pop culture from the sixties and seventies, and early eighties
"Terminate the colonel's command. Terminate with extreme prejudice."
My favorite line was Robert Duvall's quote, " Nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning." Classic ! Favorite scene was the choppers coming in playing Wagner.
"i told you not to stop" when he shoots the chick on the boat.
"smells like................ victory!"
I just watched "Apocalypse Now" The Cowgirl was Playmate of the Year, the Corporal was Miss August, and "Miss May" was the Indian according to the MC
Linda Carter was incredibly beautiful, no one is compared with her
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
She is still a beautiful woman ,always will be.
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.
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.
The girl in the cowboy hat and blue bikini is Cynthia Wood. She was Playboy Playmate of the Month in February 1973 (as "Cyndi" Wood), and 1974 Playmate of the Year.
And, absolutely Gorgeous!! Always one of my favorite playmates!
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.
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.
It was the first time that he appeared for more than 15 minutes and he had done a great job
I saw it in the theater in '79, wonderful experience, too many iconic scenes to pick a favorite.
agreed
100% agree. I was able to see it at a new theater that had a multiple channel sound system . Kinda a big deal in 79'. But a great visual and audio movie. I highly recommend you watch the AN Redux. You will be surprised.
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.
Totally crazy is what I felt I was in direct radio contact with Army and Marines. My ship was just a few miles off the coast of vietnam.
thanks for the video
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.
Lynda Carter was NOT in Apocalypse Now that was Linda Carpenter 🙄
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Linda or Karen? There were 2 famous Carpenters at the time?
There was a lot of Carpenter ants 🐜 in the jungle.
You would think if she really was in the movie, they would show the top less pic of her... so I call BS to this whole story
She"s only in it as a a still photo. She's the body to the photoshopped head of Colleen Camp in a topless centerfold. Carpenter (as Beatty) and Cynthia Wood were real playmates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Agreed. Lynda is teeming with class.
She's been breahtaking for decades
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Lynda. Which film/role do you think she shined in?
I don't have a favorite scene; It is too difficult to decide because it might be the greatest movie ever!
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.
Lynda Carter does fill the Wonder Woman costume out the best, even Gal Gadot can’t a flame up to her in that costume.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
It’s because Linda wore a WONDER BRA 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe you should check out 'Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw' starring Marjoe Gortner and Linda Carter. She does a whole lot more than just pose naked in that one.
Yes. I wore out my VHS copy of that movie. I paused those scenes too many times that it won't play anymore
@obbor4 She wasn't in Apocalypse Now and that wasn't her poster it was Colleen Camp's poster.
@@ZavaXavier When did I she that she was?
@@obbor4 When you said just pose naked in that one.
@@ZavaXavier It was her, it's a fact, they added Colleen Camps head on the poster for the movie.
Seriously, very good job, you speak well, come across very easy to understand and overall, you do a great job, CONGRAT'S..............

Collen Camp played the 'Indian Woman' of the 3 playmates, not the 'Cowgirl' as your video suggests; and she was definitely not the matron of the French farming family.
This channel loves to lie about stuff UA-cam should investigate these channels they give money to.
My favorite part of Apocalypse Now, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning; smells like victory."
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!!
The way the cowgirl playmate swung her hips during her performance made a lasting impression.
My choice for the best performance in the movie is Robert Duvall. The crazy cowboy colonel is a mix of John Wayne and a Nazi stormtrooper
His line, "I love the smell of napalm. It smells like victory!" Is a classic.
I like how w become Martin Sheen and see everything through his eyes. He's a bit crazy with PDST but otherwise he's your average soldier just trying to survive.
The best crazy cowboy soldier since Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove.
This was especially fascinating about Apocalypse Now, and a little surprising about Lynda Carter.
When I was 14 or 15, Fox had just purchased a Broadcast TV channel in Seattle, KCPQ 13. In order to advertise/emphasize awareness of the new network, and lift it out of it's previous status of showing reruns, Fox did what I thought was impossible... In the prime time slot, 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm, Fox played an uncensored version of Apocalypse Now. All the profanity, nudity were played, and I still don't know they managed to get that past the FCC
WTXX in Connecticut used to play movies uncensored,i.e. profanity, nudity,, etc. in the late 80's
& early 90's! I live on Long Island & used to try to get it, before I had cable, but the signal did not
always come in. I don't know how they got away with it, either!
I had seen this photo before and always thought it was a fake. Thanks for showing me that it's real
I became aware of the centerfold pic a year or so ago, and my first impression was that it was photoshopped. 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.
@@400brian I'm tired of all the fake celebrity nudes that are out there, some better than others. If this really is her I appreciate it even more. She, along with Loni Anderson, were my biggest celebrity crushes growing up. Lynda was insanely beautiful and will forever be the perfect wonder woman
I love the smell of Napalm in the morning. I love the movie and I love the one and only Wonder Woman. Thanks for the wonderful video.
You're very much welcome! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
Having never seen the movie, I would have to say my fav scene is a topless Lynda Carter.
That wasn't Lynda Carter in AN but playmate of the year Cyndi Wood who had a good-size speaking part in AN Redux.
Yes; it was Cyndi Wood in the movie.
Looked it up, yep, she did it and they are spectacular!
They're real...and they they're specTACular. :) (Almost as spectacular as Lily's).
Lynda Carter is heart stoppingly beautiful. It's funny how a beautiful woman can just make your heart skip a beat. 😘💕❤️
The surfing scene was the best. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning!!"
Linda such a great actresss... what a. Beautiful person to...lots of love and prayers..live this film..🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Lynda. Which of her roles appealed to you the most?
Well, now I have to watch it, yet again, for about the 99th time. I didn't know!

wow did she show her boobs to a photographer ?
super ethereal !
Must be nice to have that much time on your hands.
Photoshop didn't exist at the time, neither did personal computers. But it was undoubtedly airbrushed. That was the 70's/80's equivalent to photoshop, and was used all the time in advertising as well as centerfolds.
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!!
@@HeyMykeeWrong they changed the poster back in the 90s or early 2000s the photoshopped it putting Lynda's face over Colleen's face.
I saw "Apocalypse Now" before it had titles (they gave us a book) at the premier theatre.
I still think Linda Carter, is very gorgeous she ages well. I couldn't believe she came out in Wonder woman. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
She will always be my " Wonder Woman " !! 😘😘😘💓💓
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Lynda. What other types of video would you like to see?
Was mine growing up as teen but I had to bow down to gal Godot, more athletic body but great legs and so beautiful in the face. I love them both original as bombshell beauty and gal as long sexy legged beauty
Indeed! Lynda Carter is a Wonder of a WOMAN! She was heaven sent to save the world!
Not only does she have Beauty on her side but also strength,passion, love and wisdom.
She will always be forever known as the mighty and Beautiful Wonder Woman! The World loves her! And the world needs her! ❤
My friends dad gave linda carter a speeding ticket didn't know it until he drove away and then he realize he just gave wonder woman a speeding ticket on the 91 freeway I think in 77
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.
Brandos characters worked so well because,,the cernal was at the end of the line in his life,,,it looked believable!!✌
One of my favorite scenes from Apocalypse Now is Robert Duvall's Napalm scene where he says he loves the smell of napalm in the morning, there's nothing else like it in the whole world, that smell of gasoline it's like the smell of long pause victory.
We remember that scene too! Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Who is your all-time favorite actress?
You can’t get that gasoline smell with a Tesla! I am so glad I was born a boomer!
The helicopters flying in to Wagners Ride of The Valkyries was what made the scene spectacular.
also the smell of burning shit. i still can't it out of my olfactories. dec1968-dec1969 101st...ashau.
@@josephwalsh7546 watching that scene on the big screen was actually a bit dizzying....
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.
I remember the night that Bill Graham's helicopter flew into the high tension power line 200 foot tall tower by Highway 37 between Vallejo and Sears Point killing him. The crash knocked out power to Vallejo. The wreckage was stuck in the tower and the next day they found the 3 bodies. I was shocked that it was Bill Graham. He was just at the Huey Lewis and the News concert in Concord.
He also Directed the outsiders which is an older movie and it’s a great one it really has a lot of feeling just a great movie maybe you could you show on that movie sometime??
Please do a video on Claudia Jennings, Playboy Playmate of the Year for 1970. In real life she would have been the Playmate sent to entertain the troops in Viet Nam the year the film is set. She made movies for a decade and came to a tragic ending.
Thanks for the information.
Great suggestion, thank you! We won't promise you anything but we'll definitely look into it.
My favorite Apocalypse Now is The Formation prelude to the Eggy Attack with the music!
I found my dads playboys and one had Lynda Carter in it. It might have been the reprint of the fake but there were more than just the one image of her but those were probably faked too. Being 10 years old it made a huge impression on me that I still remember today.
Another reason to rewatch Apocalypse Now.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
The a cav.attack part of the film and the missing part of of the film when killgore sent a helicopter to look for the guys on the boat who have stolen his surfboard I thought that part was so funny 😄
" the horror, the horror' 😊
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful women to ever walk the planet.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Lynda! Which of her eoles appealed to you the most?
Filming for Apocalypse Now didn't begin until 1976, and Linda Carter was already starring in Wonder Woman in 1975.
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.
The Wonder Woman TV show came out in 1975. Apocalypse Now came out in 1979. I question the premise of this video. Can someone explain the apparent contradtion to me please? Thanks
It was interesting times in the Subic Bay area during the filming of "Apocalypse Now". It was being filmed just up the road from Subic City and my favorite water holes in Calapandayan Subic during one of my several visits during my Navy years. Long time ago...
i spent two weeks in subic bay on the hosital ship hope in 1969. while we were there the uss enterprise went right past us in the channel. biggest boat i have ever seen up close. it was their because of the race riots on board and fire damaged caused. all the sailors had to dress up, go on deck and salute when it passed. as a patient and in the 101st i just looked out the round window.
@@donwelch6612 I was a nuke in the Navy and several of my buddies were assigned to the Enterprise. I was assigned to the Long Beach and we operated with the Enterprise several times over the years. There are many stories about the Enterprise...
Martin Shean was incredible and almost died while making this film.
I read somewhere that he suffered a heart attack during filming? Is that true?
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info. What other types of video would you like to see?
i always thought harvey keitel would have done a better job. maybe because sheen is such a wak job donk is why i don't care for him.
Yeah, he should've won the academy award over Dustin Hoffman's kramer vs kramer, easily, but was not even nominated.
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.
A TV movie version starring John Malkovich and Tim Roth was made in 1993, it wasn’t bad.
Clint Eastwoods "White Hunter, Black Heart", 1990, was based on "Heart of Darkness.
My favorite movie of all time
There are so many
Terminate with extreme prejudice scene
Charlie don't surf scene
When the tracers jump out at ya in the scene fishburn buys it
The tiger scene
Kurtz monolog in the camp sheer genius and on and on and on
The village attack from the sea.....
Have it Outlaw its cut out ! It’s on a dvd but I saw the original
The only part she’s topless is when she was in a lake
The assault by LtC. Kilgore's unit on the village is the best of AN.
I LOVE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING... IT SMELLS LIKE VICTORY!
@@drmcgeebox1 war maniacs - and still proud of serving there
It makes us appreciate Richard Wagner's classical music Ride of the Valkyries.
What a Beautiful Woman.
Absolutely gorgeous! Which role of Lynda appealed to you the most?
No role in particular,although “ Wonder Woman” was catchy and amusing, but her face and needless to say her body was Captivating.
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.
Typoon Olga was so jealous!!!
The Redux was much less effective than the original theatrical release
Agree!
That is NOT Lynda Carter in the left, that is Cynthia Wood, Playmate of the Year 1974 for Play Boy.
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.
COOL!
"Apocalypse Now" "Wonder Woman" ? pshaw.
Lynda Carter was the lead singer in a renowned jazz music group featuring Gary Burghoff (Radar) on drums.
There was a rumor that during production Martin Sheen had a heart attack or something and his brother filled the role on certain segments when the actor's back was turned from the camera. Is this true?
I saw it at the theater when I was 17 and it was one of the best naps 💤 😴 I ever had! It might better have been called "A Crock Of Shit Now"
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.
To heck with Apocalypse Now. Check her out in Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw (1976).
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?
" WHO ARE YOU ?"
" IM NEXT MAM "
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.
Both posters are of Colleen Camp they just digitalize Lynda's head on there.
My favorite part is the ending. It sucks. When I first saw it in theaters my friend and I both said it was "A Crock Of Shit Now"
There was more than 1 ending to the movie. I saw it in 1976 in the theater, & the ending was that of the village getting napalmed in slow motion. Not in the digital releases.
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.
Photoshop was introduced in 1990, although there were other means to manipulate photos before that.
@@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.
@@niceguy5976 I wouldn't pass up the chance to manipulate Lynda Carter by any means available...
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!
"Who in charge here?" "Ain't chew?".
Hey Facts Verse, I don't want to watch the video, but the woman pictured from Apocalypse Now was Playboy Playmate Cindy Wood, not Lynda Carter. Lynda was, is, very beautiful, but that picture is not her. See the Bunny on the copter? Thanks Hugh Hefner.
I never saw Miss Carter nude in this movie.
How my cd,s been all erased?
“Charlie don’t surf !”, The entire part with Robert Duvall is my favorite. I didn’t know about Lynda Carter’s involvement with Apocalypse Now.
Robert Duvall is the best actor of all time. Lynda Carter is beautiful whether she was in the movie or not.
Charlie don't surf was one of my favorite lines in the movie
