Linda studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama on leaving school at the end of the 70’s. She later retrained as a nurse and enjoyed a completely different career in nursing and the pharmaceutical industry.

On the death of her sister in 2017, she realised how fleeting life is and returned to her first love, acting.

Now a gran, Linda lives in Renfrewshire with her ragdoll cat, and has bases with family and friends across the country.
