Linda Henning(I)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
The daughter of veteran writer and TV producer
Paul Henning and
Ruth Henning, Linda originally studied to
be a dancer before going into acting. After appearing in an uncredited
role as one of the dancers in
Bye Bye Birdie (1963), she landed
the role of Betty Jo on
Petticoat Junction (1963),
on which she remained for its entire seven-year run -- and for which
she is perhaps most famous. Following its cancellation, Linda made
numerous appearances on episodic TV and game shows and performed in
stage plays and musicals all across the U.S. Since the 1980's Ms.
Henning has been a member of the California Artists Radio Theatre
(CART) repertory troupe. Her most recent credits include
Sliders (1995), in which she has
appeared in the recurring role of Mrs. Mallory.
