No, OP. Not a single one.

How tall is she really? I don’t think she’s more than 5’8” or so.
Debra Winger is very short so Lynda didn’t have to be all that tall to tower over her.
What are we defining as “Amazonian?” Like Brooke Shields/Geena Davis kind of height?

I don't think she's very tall either. Maybe 5'7".

What's lanky about Lynda Carter? Her body is perfectly proportioned. She's 5'9" which is on the tall side for women but not exceptional.

Sorry I thought she was 6ft

She’s not lanky. She’s quite curvy. Lanky would be like a Brooke Shields body. And yes, she’s not extremely tall.
Geena Davis is around 6 foot, no?

R11 lanky is more gangly - people who are all arms and legs and have little curves to speak of. Gwyneth at her chain smoking skinniest was the definition of gangly. Brooke is broad shouldered, more “athletic built.”
You don’t have to be all that tall to have a gangly appearance btw. If you have very long/skinny arms and legs, that’ll do the trick.

Again, Welch is curvy, not lanky. So is Julie Newmar. Maybe statuesque women would have been a better thread?

The woman Phil Spector shot, Lana, was a total Amazon, although real fame eluded her.

Paula Prentiss was five foot ten. She was always very lean and lanky.
Miss Julie Newmar and Lynda Carter are in an Amazonian class all their own because they were both truly (Datalounge Mary Alert) breathtaking during their respective primes.

Bo Derek is 5’3” R15. Appearing taller than little Dudley Moore probably gave you the mistaken impression that she was Amazonian.

So are we talking Amazon women or lanky women? The OP conflates them but they are COMPLETELY different things

Daryl Hannah
Ireland Baldwin comes to mind, as well.
