Movie career
Romay was born in Barcelona in 1954. Following graduation from high school, she studied the arts, married actor/photographer Ramon Ardid (they later divorced), and began acting in stage productions. She began appearing in Jesús Franco's films from the time that they met in 1971. She starred in over a hundred feature films, the majority of which were directed by Franco. While many of these films were in the adult film genre, her filmography also includes a substantial number of horror, comedy, and action/adventure films. Among the better known of her horror films are The Bare Breasted Countess (a.k.a. Female Vampire), Jack the Ripper, Exorcisme, and Barbed Wire Dolls. She took the name Lina Romay from the actress and jazz artist from the 1940s.
Lina Romay and Jesús Franco were a couple for four decades, but only officially married on April 25, 2008. She died from cancer at the age of 57 on 15 February 2012, in Málaga, Spain. Her husband died in 2013.
