Linda Stirling was a prolific heroine at Republic during the mid and late 1940s in both westerns and serials.  She is probably best remembered for her work in cliffhangers such as THE TIGER WOMAN (1944), ZORRO'S BLACK WHIP (1944), MANHUNT OF MYSTERY ISLAND (1945), THE PURPLE MONSTER STRIKES (1945), THE CRIMSON GHOST (1946), more.

Stirling was under a term players contract with Republic Pictures from April, 1944 through March, 1947.  That contract provided her with security and a regular paycheck but Republic could utilize her as much as they wanted during the contract period. She married screenwriter Sloan Nibley in 1946 (he passed away in 1990).  Soon after their marriage, Stirling retired to raise a family. Later in life, she earned a degree in English Literature from UCLA.

Linda Stirling received a Golden Boot award at the 1983 awards ceremony.
