Born 1945, American actress Linda Harrison is best remembered for her powerful silent performance as Nova in the classic science-fiction film Planet of the Apes (1968) and its sequel Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970).
A former beauty pageant winner from Maryland, Harrison was signed by 20th Century Fox and quickly became one of the studio’s rising stars of the late 1960s. With almost no dialogue, she conveyed emotion and presence through expression and physicality, creating one of the most enduring images of the original Planet of the Apes series.
Harrison remains closely associated with the film and is celebrated as a distinctive face of late-1960s Hollywood. These vintage photos capture the beauty, presence, and lasting impact of Linda Harrison, the unforgettable silent icon of Planet of the Apes.
