Now he's ready to raise a few more eyebrows as he takes on his first heavily dramatic role. The second act takes place in the Bitburg cemetery as the family members gather for a reconciliation. Linden, who'll turn 70 in March, shows no signs of slowing down. Not every venture of Linden's has turned out successful. Based on the acclaimed 1936 film about infidelity starring Walter Houston, the musical received mostly negative reviews on the road.
Linden knows something about sticking it out.
In 1955, as a chorus singer at the Hyannis Cape Cod Melody Tent, he met future wife, dancer, and actress Frances Martin. They've been together ever since. I've liked doing every single play, TV show, and movie I've ever done. I've been challenged, and that's the most important thing. Whatever is next, that's what I like best.
