Linnea is the ultimate scream queen. A stalwart of low-budget horror and exploitation in the 1980s and 1990s, and has appeared in over 100 acting roles. She moved to LA in the late 1970s and began a career in modelling. She was soon spotted (after appearing as an extra in a number of films) and given her first role in Fairy Tales (1978, dir Harry Hurwitz), a sex comedy in which she played Sleeping Beauty.
