Lynda Carter authenticity issue

A few days ago, there was a small debate going on in one of the Lynda Carter success threads (can't find it now, don't know if it's been deleted) about whether or not Ms. Carter has a secretary sign photos for her. I asked her this question through her Facebook page, and here's the response I got:
Hello Lucas,
No, that is not true. As we all know, when signing many things in a row, I can get sloppy and I'm sorry about that! Sometimes my signature looks a bit different. Test: sign your name very quickly 100 times in a row on photo paper....you may be surprised!
That being said, all celebrities have had their signatures forged from time to time. I have never charged for a signature. I have had my office ask for an SASE because it makes it much easier and quicker to get autographs back to the senders in a timely manner.
Hope this answers the questions.
Love, Lynda
That's good enough for me.

Nice! I never thought they looked sec to me. Sigs change if you sign as much as they do.

Hey I did the same thing to her on facebook too, great minds think alike!!! I know there are a ton of secs out there but I thought it would be strange if Lynda did when she openly tells her fans on facebook how to send her requests, the address & first come first served basis etc.... Why put all that so openly on your page & if they were sec why put conditions down? The sec could just sign it all.
Good to have it confirmed but this was one I was very doubtful about.

Honestly, what celeb would say... "Yeah, my secretary signs all the photos you buy and send."
Very few.
That doesn't validate the argument one way or the other.

When someone just a few days ago raised this issue of them possibly being sec I found it a bit hard to believe for several reasons. She posts regularly on her official facebook page and when asked about getting her autograph she gave an address and a few rules as first come first served basis & it depending on her schedule etc... If she just has a sec do it for her why would any of those things even be worth mentioning?
She also has released several cd's and offers to sign them & you can get signed copies of her upcoming release. She also does not believe in charging for autographs because she appreciates her fan base (her words not mine). I also believe her management are going to contact is it real about removing the post on her. Also unlike say John Travolta her turnaround time is not lightening fast.
Many things with other celebs I am fans of scream sec but in Lynda's case nothing ever did and after speaking with her about it on top of what I already thought I believe her ttm to be genuine. As she said you sign 100 photos in a row and see if the all look the same.
This is my opinion based on research I have done icluding speaking to Lynda. I have no interest in any kind of arguements on here I am just stating the facts I have.

Also unlike John Travolta at least Ms. Carter answered the question. I emailed John's official site like 2 months and NEVER Got a response back....

I'm happy to accept that Ms. Carter is telling the truth, based on her response, unless she's outright LYING. I just don't see her as that type of person, and I certainly wouldn't accuse her of it.
