Actress Writer

Linda Arvidson (July 12, 1884 – July 26, 1949) was an American actress who became one of the earliest movie stars. As names were not used in the first years of cinema, she was just known as one of the ‘Biograph Girls’. Arvidson had been encouraged in the new medium by her future husband D.W. Griffith, who impressed her as an innovative film director. Their marriage was kept secret for reasons of professional discretion.
