Born Monetta Eloyse Darnell in Dallas, Texas, Linda signed a film contract with Fox at the age of 15 and made her debut in Hotel For Women in 1939. She starred in four movies with Tyrone Power, including The Mark of Zorro and Blood and Sand. Later in the 1940s, Linda achieved renewed success in films such as Summer Storm, Hangover Square, Fallen Angel and My Darling Clementine, following a change in type and a new screen image as a pin-up girl. She was critically acclaimed for her roles in films such as Unfaithfully Yours, A Letter to Three Wives and No Way Out. Released from her Fox contract in 1952 at the age of 29, Linda took movie roles in Italy and worked on the stage and in television. She died in 1965 at the age of 41 in a house fire, shortly after making her first movie in seven years, Black Spurs.
