Linda’s ground breaking fashion photo spreads in major fashion magazines helped to lead the coming of age Sixties Generation into a totally new way of thinking, looking and feeling.

As one of the top Ford models of the decade, her successful modeling career spanned from 1966 to 1974 first in New York, and later throughout the fashion capitals of Europe, including Paris, Milan, Munich and Barcelona. Her face graced the covers of many magazines including Mademoiselle and Harper’s Bazaar. 

She modeled part-time, while juggling a busy schedule as the wife of Philippe Forquet, Viscount de Dorne. and worked with renowned fashion photographers Helmut Newton and Hans Feurer who both photographed her for several 10-page layouts in Elle, Marie Claire, Mode International and French and Italian Vogue. 

Her modeling assignments included walking the catwalks of the major European haute couture designers including Pierre Cardin, Jean Patou, Karl Lagerfeld, Emmanuel Ungaro, Paco Rabanne, Chanel and Valentino. 

In 1975 Linda retired from an active modeling career to  raise a large family. She spent several years pursuing her education and doing extensive research on natural anti-aging therapies.
