She is best known for her roles in 1970s British horror films and sex comedies. ==Career== Hayden was born in Stanmore, Middlesex. She trained with the Aida Foster stage school in dancing, singing and stage acting before making her film debut at the age of 15 in the controversial ''Baby Love'' (1968), playing a schoolgirl who seduces her adoptive family. She next featured in two horror films; playing Alice Hargood in Hammer's ''Taste the Blood of Dracula'', (1970),〔("Taste The Blood Of Dracula 1970" ) ''BritishHorrorFilms.co.uk'' (Retrieved: 16 February 2010)〕 followed by a memorable performance as the demonically possessed Angel Blake in ''The Blood on Satan's Claw'' (1970), made by Tigon.〔("Blood On Satan's Claw 1970" ) ''BritishHorrorFilms.co.uk'' (Retrieved: 16 February 2010)〕 In 1972, she played a pregnant teenage hitchhiker in ''Something to Hide'', driving Peter Finch to murder and madness. Hayden appeared opposite Robin Askwith, her then-boyfriend, in the popular sex comedies ''Confessions of a Window Cleaner'' (1974), ''Confessions from a Holiday Camp'' (1977) and, with Fiona Richmond, in ''Let's Get Laid'' (1978); as well as the obscure cult film ''Queen Kong'' (1976). She also shared the stage with Askwith, in Richard Harris and Leslie Darbon's farce ''Who Goes Bare''. Hayden and Richmond had previously appeared together in the thriller ''Exposé'' (1976), which was known as ''Trauma'' in the USA and ''House on Straw Hill '' in Australia, and banned in the UK as a video nasty. In a documentary on the DVD of The Blood on Satan's Claw, Hayden says that Exposé is the only movie she regrets making and was not the film she had made originally. Following a brief role in ''The Boys from Brazil'' (1978), Hayden concentrated on stage and television work. In 1980 she appeared in the ITV series The Professionals as 'Gerda' in the episode 'Black Out'. She also took a role in the thriller ''Underground'' at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre and London's Prince of Wales Theatre in 1983, as well as a 1997 episode of ''The Bill''. Now semi-retired, she featured as Mrs Brown in Martin Kemp's 2010 remake of ''Exposé'', with Jane March playing Linda — Hayden's role in the 1976 original. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Linda Hayden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
