Linda Thorson

biography: Linda Thorson (geboren als Linda Robinson) ist eine kanadische Schauspielerin, die vor allem für ihre Rolle als Tara King in The Avengers bekannt ist.

Français

biography:
Linda Robinson, dite Linda Thorson, est une actrice canadienne née à Toronto le 18 juin 1947. Elle est principalement connue pour son rôle de Tara King dans la sixième saison de la série télévisée des années 1960, Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir.

Linda Thorson part pour Londres en 1965 et commence à étudier la danse et le chant. Elle est choisie parmi deux cents candidates pour succéder à Diana Rigg aux côtés de Patrick Macnee dans la saison 6 (et dernière de la première série) de Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir en 1968-1969, en tant que Tara King.

Elle a été engagée dans la série par John Bryce parmi une centaine de candidates. Elle a postulé sur les conseils de John Huston qui avait envisagé de l'engager dans son prochain film, et n'avait jamais vu un épisode de la série. Le choix final pour le rôle se fit entre Tracy Reed (1941-2012) et elle.

Entre 1969 et 1973, elle n'obtient qu'un rôle, celui d'Anna dans Les Palmiers du métropolitain de Youri qui, pour un problème de publicité clandestine, n’est diffusé qu'en 1978.

Elle continue ensuite sa carrière dans de nombreux films et téléfilms, le plus souvent pour des seconds rôles et fait des apparitions remarquées dans des séries télévisées comme Le Retour du Saint, Dynastie, Clair de lune ou encore Star Trek: La Nouvelle Génération.

Elle est la seule vedette de Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir à ne pas avoir participé à la saga des James Bond. On a vu Honor Blackman dans Goldfinger, Diana Rigg et Joanna Lumley dans Au service secret de Sa Majesté et Patrick Macnee dans Dangereusement vôtre.
