Born 1921 as Louise Schultz in Long Beach, California, American showgirl, model, and actress Linda Stirling had her first role as a model in The Powers Girl in 1943 and her first role in a serial was the title character in The Tiger Woman (1944). She was featured as the heroine in Zorro’s Black Whip (1944).
After her marriage, she essentially retired from films to raise a family, although she later appeared in occasional episodes of television shows, beginning in 1952.
In her later life, Stirling sought to distance herself in the classroom from her Hollywood past, but still remained active on the film convention circuit until the last years of her life. She also appeared in a 1990 documentary on Republic Pictures, the studio where she did the bulk of her work.
Stirling died in of cancer in Studio City, Los Angeles, California in 1997, aged 75. Take a look at these fabulous photos to see portraits of a young Linda Stirling in the 1940s.
