"Strength, Courage and Confidence"

Linda's program and portrayal captures the essence of this dynamic First Lady and modern woman.  Highlights covered include:

For more than 15 years, Linda has been active in northeast Ohio’s community theater activities.  Her interest in Eleanor Roosevelt has inspired her to make a wide-ranging study of the First Lady’s life and times.  Linda’s personal travels abroad and years of working with the public translate into an empathetic portrayal of Eleanor’s role as a politician’s wife, ambassador, and champion of the less fortunate. 

Linda recently joined the “We Made History” troupe of characters and hopes to educate others about one of the world’s most admired – yet controversial – women.
