[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 418587, member: 23"] It was a couple of pages back :D: It was Lynda's beauty that put her on the map, really, having won Miss World USA in 1972 (she came fifteenth in Miss World that year). That doesn't always translate to charisma or screen presence, of course, but she proved to have both. I assume she worked hard at things as well. She seemed to relax into the role and become more natural, particularly once the series time jumped to the Seventies. It was her naturalism in the role that sold the entire series (and I'm sure it helped that she was already quite used to walking round in a bathing costume). If she hadn't been so very right, it wouldn't have been the success it was. [/QUOTE]
