Biography

Lynda Day George, a talented American television actress, initially gained recognition for her role as Lisa Casey in the popular TV series Mission: Impossible (1966),earning a Golden Globe nomination for her outstanding performance.

Throughout her career, she made numerous guest appearances in notable series such as The Love Boat (1977) and Wonder Woman (1975),showcasing her versatility as an actress.

Her feature film debut in The Gentle Rain (1966) led to a chance encounter with Christopher George, the charming lead actor of The Rat Patrol (1966),and they eventually fell in love three years later during the filming of John Wayne's western Chisum (1970).

Following their marriage after the release of Chisum, Lynda and Christopher George appeared in numerous films together during the 1970s.

In 1983, they co-starred in the horror film Mortuary (1982),but tragically, Christopher George passed away at the age of 54 due to a heart attack shortly after the film's completion.

Lynda was deeply affected by his sudden loss and felt that she couldn't continue acting without him. She made a brief appearance in the film Young Warriors (1983) and later appeared as a guest star in a few TV series before ultimately retiring from acting.
