Day George was born in
San Marcos, Texas. Originally known as Lynda Day, she began her career in the 1960s with the
Eileen Ford modeling agency working as a top model in print and TV commercials, and then on Broadway starring in
The Devils opposite
Jason Robards and
Anne Bancroft. Bancroft acted as a mentor to Day, who described working on the play as formative to her acting. She then moved to
Los Angeles and began a long television career with guest roles on many series of the 1960s, including
Route 66,
Flipper, T.H.E. Cat,
Here Come the Brides,
The Green Hornet,
Mannix,
The Fugitive,
The Invaders,
It Takes a Thief,
The Virginian,
Good Morning World,
Lancer and
Bonanza. She starred in the first of the two Universal/NBC TV-pilot films based around psychiatrist/supernatural investigator Dr. David Sorrell (played by
Louis Jourdan),
Fear No Evil in 1969. They starred together in the 1966
independent film The Gentle Rain, Day's first role in a theatrical film, by which time she was married to her first husband. The many co-star roles came about because she and her husband had the same agent, who was aware that they enjoyed working with one another. As of 2023, however, no new roles have been announced. She was married to him from May 15, 1970, until his death on November 28, 1983, and they had one daughter, Krisinda Casey.
Memoir On January 17, 2020, during an interview with entertainment correspondent Ed Robertson of
TV Confidential, George announced that she was collaborating with a biographer on a memoir centered on her acting career. The working title is
Lynda Day George: A Hollywood Memoir. Her biographer co-author died in 2021, but in 2023 George said she is still resolved that the book will eventually be published, and that her agent is working on finding another co-author and a publisher. == Filmography ==
