Linda Gray

Linda Gray might have gone on to be known for her acting roles, but it was her legs that got her started. Gray worked as the body double for Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate—those aren’t Anne Bancroft’s legs on the poster! Gray was reportedly paid $25 for one leg! She went on to star as Sue Ellen on the hit show Dallas, reprising her role in the remake. She’s also appeared in films such as Oscar, alongside Sylvester Stallone, The Entertainers, Star of Jaipur, and most recently Prescience, in which she plays a leading role.
