Biography

Linda was born in Pasay City, the daughter of a mining engineer. She was cast in her first film by director Lamberto Avellana in "Tia Juana". The film was completed shortly before the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, but released only in 1943. *cite encyclopedia |author=Nenuca Jose |co-authors=Lena Pareja|editor=Nicanor Tiongson |encyclopedia=CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art |title=Philippine Film |accessyear=2008 |accessmonth=January |edition=1st |year=1994 |publisher=Cultural Center of the Philippines|volume=VIII |location=Manila |pages= p.271|isbn=971-8546-31-6 ] With the film studios being shut down for the duration of the war, Linda spent the war years performing on bodabil at Avenue Theater in Manila. After the war, Linda was cast again by Avellana, this time in "Sekretang Hong Kong" (1947). She was cast in her first leading role in "Alyas Sakim" (1947).

In 1951, Linda portrayed the titular character in Gerardo de Leon's "Sisa", a film based on the tragic character in Jose Rizal's novel "Noli Me Tangere". The role garnered her the Best Actress Maria Clara award (a pre-cursor of the FAMAS). De Leon then cast Linda in "Sawa sa Lumang Simboryo" (1952), a role for which Linda would be nominated for a FAMAS Best Actress Award.

In the 1970s, Linda gained renewed critical acclaim in maternal roles she essayed for director Lino Brocka in "Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang" (1974), "Isa Dalawa Tatlo" (1974) and "Jaguar" (1979). She would win the FAMAS Best Supporting Actress Award for "Isa Dalawa Tatlo". Linda would also be nominated for the Gawad Urian Best Supporting Actress Award for "Jaguar", which was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival.

Linda would appear in several leading films of the 1980s and 1990s, including Mike de Leon's "Sister Stella L." (1984), Chito Roño's "Itanong Mo sa Buwan", Brocka's "Gumapang ka sa Lusak" (1990), and Mario O'Hara's "Ang Babae sa Bubungnang Lata" (1998). For her portrayal of an aging film actress in the latter film, Linda would receive her second FAMAS Best Supporting Actress Award. In 1987, Linda also won a Gawad Urian Best Supporting Actress award for "Takaw Tukso".

In her eighties, Linda has remained active in the film industry, appearing in such films as "" (2004) and "Ouija" (2007)".
