RIP LINDA CRISTAL 1934-2020

One of the most beautiful actresses in the world has passed away.

Born in Buenos Aires in 1934 she began her acting career in 1952 with several uncredited and very small roles. The film that first brought her to the attention of the public was "Comanche" in 1956.

Just two years later in 1958 she starred in two more western films that have become classics..."The Last Of The Fast Guns" and "The Fiend That Walked The West".

After appearing in several more film her greatest success came on the small screen as she starred in "The High Chaparral" as Victoria Cannon. This is what first brought her to my attention.

Linda was absolutely beautiful on the show and even in my youth I knew there was something very special about her. She retied from acting in 1985, but nobody that watched "The High Chaparral" will ever forget her. She won 2 Emmy Awards for her performance on the show which ran for four years.

Linda Cristal passed away on June 27th, 2020 from natural causes at the age of 86.
