Linda Christian

I will be the first to admit I had to google Linda Christian. Turns out she was quite famous in the 40's and 50's. She was the first Bond girl, appearing in the 1954 tv version of Casino Royale. She was born in Mexico and at some point met Errol Flynn, who just meets Errol Flynn? Anyway, he talks her out of going into the medical field and into moving to Hollywood. She meets Louis B. Mayer and gets a 7 year contract and the rest is history. She ends up marrying Tyrone Power, who I have heard of, and divorcing him.

Most of this clipping is talking about the bathing suit and only mentions lovely Linda Christian towards the end. She was in Mexico filming "Holiday in Mexico" in 1946. Someone was a fan. Linda Christian has recently passed away, July 22, 2011.

    She married Power in Rome in 1949 and this marriage was a merry event for the Italians after Word War Two. During the "Dolce Vita" period (1958-1965)she became a leading person in roman night life. She made a few films in Italy in this period, among which "La verità" by Francesco Rosi a realistic movie on Spanish Corrida. She could speak 7 languages. As a girl she had studied also in Florence at the Poggio Imperiale College where the Savoia attended school.
