Background
I had long been the custodian of artefacts of my sister's career in the form of a collection of programmes, reviews, postcards and letters. I used what I had of that plus some other family photos to create this website.
The headers on most of the web pages have been scanned from Linda's hand-written page titles.
Linda was a talented actress and still in the process of learning her craft when she died. She was a good elder sister to me, also introducing me to the world that she inhabited after she left home in 1962/1963. I was then 12, Linda was 21.
As my own life has moved on, my elder sister has become my younger sister. And I miss not having shared my life with her. I'd have liked my children to have known her.
Had she lived she would have had a brilliant career.

"Gillian Owen said she was one of those rare actresses who had it all - beauty, talent, style - with her head together enough to pursue her career with determination. Doris Fitton had high hopes for Linda.
She thought her perfect for an international film career"
... Doris Fitton was the Director and Gillian Owen the Co-Director of the Independent Theatre
