She told th publication that she has been singing for over 50 years and that music was her first passion before acting. The song according to her is “a celebration of love, as much as it is heartbreaking.”

“The soul of the song is about how you miss a person so much, because they’re such a presence in your life that it’s almost impossible to imagine that you won’t physically see them again in this life. You wonder, ‘How can I communicate with you? Where are you? You didn’t just die — there’s too much of you left on this earth, too many people that love you,’” she said.

Carter also shares that she has partnered with City of Hope, a leading research and treatment center for cancer, to help fund critical research on complicated blood cancers like the one that claimed Altman’s life.

Altman was diagnosed with myelofibrosis, a disorder of the bone marrow, which later progressed to secondary myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer with limited treatment options.

Carter said she is excited about the recent scientific breakthroughs and that she wants to make a difference for others who are suffering from similar diseases.

“I’m so excited about all the advancements that have been made. I want to do something that will help people who are going through this,” she said.

Lynda Carter misses having a life partner and remembers the adventure with Robert Altman

Carter admits that she still deeply misses having a life partner and that her life was an adventure even when they "went through some serious things" with Altman and that being alone was no fun.  

“He was the great love of my life. I think of him every day. There’s so much of my day to day where I find myself thinking, ‘Oh Robert will know.’ Or if I’m on a flight, I still expect him to text to ask, ‘Did you land safely? Was everything alright?,’” she said.

Carter said her children, Jessica, 33, and James, 35, had a "wonderful" relationship with Altman and "we talk about him all the time."

“My life was an adventure with him. We were always traveling and doing fun things, and then when you’re alone, you have to do everything alone. And that’s no fun,” she said.
