Linda Hayden(I)
- Actress
Gorgeous and voluptuous blonde actress Linda Hayden made a strong and
lasting impression with her steamy portrayals of lusty nymphets and
tempting seductresses in a handful of pictures made in the 60s and 70s.
Linda was born on January 19, 1953 in Stanmore, Middlesex, England. She
studied her craft at the esteemed Aida Foster Stage School, where she
took drama, dancing and singing classes. Hayden made a bold film debut
as brassy 15-year-old teenage tart Luci Thompson in the racy melodrama
Baby Love (1969). Linda achieved her
greatest enduring cult cinema popularity with her appearances in
several horror features; she was excellent as virginal innocent Alice
Hargood in the typically fine Hammer outing
Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)
and gave an outstanding performance as alluring devil cult leader Angel
Blake in the chilling
The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971).
Hayden was likewise memorable as libidinous sexpot secretary Linda
Hindstatt in the sleazy thriller
Exposé (1976) and had a brief cameo in
Những Chàng Trai Brazil (1978).
She acted in four amusingly lowbrow comedies with her onetime boyfriend
Robin Askwith:
Confessions of a Window Cleaner (1974),
Queen Kong (1976),
Let's Get Laid (1978) and
Confessions from a Holiday Camp (1977).
Linda has made guest appearances in such TV shows as Now Look Here (1971), Marked Personal (1973), Traffic Warden's Daughter: Part 1 (2007), Pig in the Middle (1975), Robin's Nest (1977), Sole Agent (1980), Black Out (1980), Shillingbury Tales (1980), Cuffy (1983), Passing Chance (1983), Black Carrion (1984) and Performance Anxiety (1997).
In addition to her movie and television credits, Hayden has also acted on stage: she co-starred with Askwith in the bawdy farce "Who Goes Bare" and has performed extensively in productions for the Theatre of Comedy Company.
Linda Hayden is married to theatre producer Paul Elliott and is the mother of two children.
