The
role of Bobbie Jo, that of a gangster's moll in the film Bobbie Jo
And The Outlaw, was one of the small parts Lynda got when she went
to Hollywood. She was a smalltown girl who had been raised, in
Arizona, to have strict moral values. But in choosing show
business as a career, it was obvious from the outset that there
would soon be a head-on collision. With all the best intentions in
the world, Lynda, nevertheless, was subverted by what she now
calls the "Beverly Hills syndrome." Like many young actresses,
Lynda had her head turned by the glitter of Hollywood. "For a
time," she explains, "all my values were badly distorted. This is
the insidiousness of Beverly Hills and the industry. It pretends
to be friendly but it isn't." |
