Linda Lichtman began a lifetime of writing and performing at age 7. After dinner one night, in the large lobby of an old Borscht Belt hotel, she began improvising as the Queen of England. Just walking through the lobby spouting "Englishisms". This "seizure" continued nightly either as the Queen, one of her other imaginary characters, or ventriliquism attacks with her beloved Charlie McCarthy doll. However, feeling a lot of pressure to find that "special someone", Linda retired from show biz at age 8 to search for a husband.

Unsuccessful in her husband hunt, Linda re-entered the performing and writing world as a comedy writer and standup comic, working in New York at The Improv, Comic Strip and lots of little clubs. While studying acting at the HB Studio with Horton Foote and the late Sandy Dennis, she was cast in numerous theatrical productions including, Gert in "The Sea Horse", Jesse Mae in "The Trip To Bountiful", Joan, in "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" and a number of origanal works.

As a result of her standup work, Linda was "picked up" by some men who were ONLY interested in her talent. They foisted her into her next career as a radio personality for WNBC radio, the same station as Howard Stern & Don Imus.

After writing a number of unproduced TV pilots and two produced plays, Linda relented and began re-focusing her lackluster husband hunt to the west coast in Los Angeles. But the theatre kept calling. Cast as the strong but vulnerable mother, Kate, in Neil Simon's "Brighton Beach Memoirs" (where she won Best Actress Award for the season) Linda decided to forget her husband hunt and stick to writing and performing.

Linda was busy, engrossed in writing the story of her very first love affair, which happened to be with a Jamaican gigolo, when she remembered she was expected to attend some social function that evening. Alas, she was out of clean underwear, so she turned off the computer and rushed off to the local laundromat, where she ran smack into the very guy who eventually became her beloved bridegroom.

Linda and her beloved continue living in LA, where she performs "The Bride Can't Stop Coughing" in workshop form and is continually writing and rewriting....til death do us part.........
