Linda Turner

Linda Turner is the daughter of silent film Western actor Tim Turner and a former Hollywood stunt woman. Trained as a stunt woman, she was an expert on Judo, motorcycle riding, lariat throwing, and other physical skills costumed crime fighters find handy; and her father, an amateur detective, had taught her the necessary mental skills. Linda has successfully made the transition from stunt woman to lead actress.

Her natural beauty gained her a screen test and her innate acting ability led to acting jobs, eventually to starring roles. Her acting skills and her history as a stunt woman, plus life on her father's ranch outside of Los Angeles, gave Linda the physical skills to perform her work as The Black Cat.

Background Information
Hollywood starlet, Linda Turner’s first adventure began when she suspected her director, Mr. Garboil of being a Nazi spy or at the very least an American Bund member because of the propaganda in the script. In order to follow him and gain corroborating evidence, she disguises herself in a backless blue blouse, red shorts, blue flared gloves, red buccaneer boots and a blue opera mask and calls herself the Black Cat.

While following Garboil, Linda, aka ‘Black Cat’ meets Rick Horne, a reporter for the Los Angeles Globe who has been assigned to investigate rumors of a Nazi spy ring in LA. Initially disdainful of each other, the pair is forced to work together and discover that Garboil is planting secret information in his motion pictures. Using her knowledge of the studio, Black Cat sneaks into the editing room and changes the edit of the picture to render the information useless. When they are discovered, Rick and Cat physically overpower the gang and turn them in. Garboil escapes and Linda decides to maintain her Black Cat identity to spice up her life and to keep watch over his activities.

During the summer of 77', She is a co-host on a telethon hosted by Justice League and the SuperFriends.
