Скачать или смотреть Linda Christian: Hollywood’s atomic pin-up who lost it all in love

Linda Christian lived a life scripted by Hollywood but undone by fate. Born Blanca Rosa Welter in Tampico, Mexico, in 1923, she reinvented herself as Linda Christian—the cosmopolitan beauty who became television’s first Bond girl in Casino Royale (1954) and the wife of matinee idol Tyrone Power. Yet glamour was never enough to shield her from heartbreak. After her marriage dissolved, she found love with Spanish racing aristocrat Alfonso de Portago, only to watch him die in a horrific crash at the 1957 Mille Miglia. Photographs of Linda kneeling in the Italian dust, cradling the man she adored, turned her from Hollywood starlet into tragic icon. She spent the rest of her life navigating the tension between image and authenticity, tragedy and reinvention—working, raising her daughters Romina and Taryn, and transforming grief into advocacy for racing safety. When she died in 2011, Linda Christian left behind more than headlines: a legacy of resilience, glamour, and tragic grace.
