Original Wonder Woman Lynda Carter and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have new fans, it seems: each other.

Carter, who played the iconic comic-book character on television from 1975 to 79, tweeted her support to the freshman lawmaker on Saturday after coming across a photo of Ocasio-Cortez with Wonder Woman art in the background.

“Okay, seeing this last night totally made my birthday that much sweeter. Love your decor, @AOC!” Carter tweeted at the New York lawmaker on Saturday, one day the actress celebrated her 69th birthday.

Ocasio-Cortez, 30, responded: “Thank you for being a shining example of a woman’s strength! Happy birthday.” read more—photos
