An American leading actress and television star, Lynda Day George first garnered attention when she appeared in the popular TV series "Mission: Impossible" (1966) as Lisa Casey, a role for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. She also did numerous guest star roles in such series as "The Love Boat" (1977) and "Charlie's Angels" (1976). While appearing in the feature The Gentle Rain (1966), she met Christopher George, the handsome lead actor of the popular war series "The Rat Patrol" (1966), and though they really didn't fall in love, it happened three years later when they were reunited in the John Wayne western Chisum (1970), and they were married after its release. During the 1970s Lynda appeared in numerous films with her husband. In 1983 she and Chris returned again, co-starring in the horror film Mortuary (1983/I). Sadly, after its completion, Christopher George died of a heart attack at the age of 54. Lynda was devastated and felt she couldn't act without him. She appeared in another film shortly after his death, called Young Warriors (1983), but after doing a few TV series as a guest star, Lynda gave up acting. Today, she is remarried and lives in Beverly Hills.
