Linda Harrison

Immortalized thanks to her interpretation of Nova in the first two parts of Planet of the Apes (1968 and 1970) where, barely uttering a word, she became the icon of an entire era, Linda Harrison began her career as a model. After appearing in a few episodes of the series Batman, she took the leap to the big screen with comedies like Way... Way Out (1966) or A Guide for the Married Man (1967). After a few sabbatical years she returned to film with Airport 1975 (1974) listed as Augusta Summerland and once again alongside Charlton Heston. Later came the two parts of Cocoon (1985 and 1988), Wild Bill (1995) and, of course, a cameo in Tim Burton’s version of Planet of the Apes (2001).
