My Take
Linda Christian fascinates me as a bridge between two film worlds. A Mexican actress who broke into Hollywood at its golden-age peak, she carried a cross-border boldness that I find genuinely admirable for a woman of the 1940s and 1950s. Her turn as Mara in the final Weissmuller Tarzan picture has an irresistible vintage romance to it. What strikes me most is the persistence it took to claim a place in the dream factory while it was still gatekept tightly. Her 2001 Palm Springs Walk of Stars honor reads, to me, as time finally tipping its hat to that glamour.
