When it comes to appreciating a person’s career it’s not difficult at all when looking at someone’s credentials only to see that they’ve been around the block a few times, so to speak. Linda Lavin has been a part of show business for a while now and it’s fair to say that she’s been there long enough to have picked up just what it’s all about a time or two. From theater to TV to movies she’s been the type of actress that’s been celebrated and adored by many upon many fans, not to mention her fellow celebrities, and for good reason. The kind of talent it takes to stick with the business for so long is something that many people might find enviable given that a lot of actors either end up retiring or become obscure figures in the industry after a while. The unfortunate truth of this is that a lot of celebrities have seen this happen to them after a while, and despite the fact that some have endured and made a comeback over the years, others haven’t been so lucky.
Linda is one of those that has endured and continued to push forward as her career has taken on its highs and lows just as much as anyone. She’s been in several shows and movies that people would easily recognize such as Bones, The Muppets Take Manhattan and many others. The awards and accolades she’s accumulated over the years tell a story of how she’s met with success more than once and has been able to make certain that people will remember her in one way or another. Dating back to the 60s, Linda has been someone that a lot of people have watched numerous times on the big screen, the small screen, and the stage, and in some cases have formed an attachment with, no matter how one-sided it might be. The thing about selecting a favorite actor is that even if they don’t always notice a fan, it’s a big hope that actors are grateful that they have fans.
Those actors that do recognize the fact that having fans is something to be proud and appreciative of are those that tend to be revered the most since while those that have legions of fans but are essentially jerks can lord their fame over many people, the truth is that such a thing is fleeting and can be taken away very quickly. Linda is one of the many that has always been there to perform, to be a decent person, and in many ways to inspire other people with what she can do on the screen and on stage. She’s not the overly loud and obnoxious type, at least not in any obvious sort of way, which makes her just a little better than most since she’s not in the business to make a nuisance of herself while using her celebrity status as an excuse. Instead, she’s been a joy for many to watch over the years and has usually put on a great performance that has been well-respected and received by the people.
It’s interesting to see how different actors are since some will get into the business and will become absolute jerks as the fame and fortune go to their heads in a huge way. The idea of anyone thinking that they can exist on talent alone is kind of funny since one thing about show business is that talent is all well and good, but like youth and good looks, it will fade eventually. People tend to get tired of those actors who decide to lord over others the fact that they’re rich, famous, and can apparently do whatever they like. The great thing about those who are like Linda is that they understand that without the support of the fans they’re not bound to go that far and will likely crash and burn sooner rather than later since the idea of existing without the fans is kind of tough to picture. Linda has done more than enough to be counted as a good person during her life, and she’s been an inspiration to many throughout the course of her career, not to mention that if she’s let the fame go to her head at any point, it hasn’t been evident.
If anything, Linda has been herself for as long as she’s been alive, which is to say that she’s not perfect, she might have rubbed some people the wrong way in the past, and she might have given an impression as an actress that she didn’t get along with everyone. But again, she’s human, as are we all, and for the length of time that she’s been a part of the business, she’s been someone that people can look up to and even learn from.
