Lynda Day George (b. December 11, 1944 in San Marcos, Texas) is an American television and film actress whose career spanned three decades from the 1960s to the 1980s. She is probably best known for being a cast member on the popular television series Mission: Impossible (1971-1973), as well as being the long-time wife of actor Christopher George.
An American leading actress and television star, Lynda Day George first garnered attention when she appeared in the popular TV series "Mission: Impossible" (1966) as Lisa Casey, a role for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. She also did numerous guest star roles in such series as "Love Boat, The" (1977) and "Charlie's Angels" (1976). While appearing in the feature Gentle Rain, The (1966), she met Christopher George (I), the handsome lead actor of the popular war series "Rat Patrol, The" (1966), and though they really didn't fall in love, it happened three years later when they were reunited in the John Wayne (I) western Chisum (1970), and they were married after its release. During the 1970s Lynda appeared in numerous films with her husband. In 1983 she and Chris returned again, co-starring in the horror film Mortuary (1983/I). Sadly, after its completion, Christopher George died of a heart attack at the age of 52. Lynda was devastated and felt she couldn't act without him. She appeared in another film shortly after his death, called Young Warriors (1983), but after doing a few TV series as a guest star, Lynda gave up acting. Today, she is remarried and lives in Beverly Hills.
