Personal Life | Childhood & Parents
Linda Cristal was an Argentine-born American actress who had numerous TV series and western films to her credit. Her original name was Marta Victoria Moya Peggo Burges, and she was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on February 23, 1934. Her father was a French man who was a publisher by profession, and her mother had an Italian origin. She had two brothers one of whom died prematurely. Linda altered her birth name after she started her acting career, which was a common trend that many actors and actresses followed in that period. Soon after her birth, her family had to move to, Uruguay, as her father got involved in a political disagreement with the ruling party. She was educated at 'Conservatoria Franklin' there. Her childhood was spent in a crowded villa with twenty other families. Linda could speak different languages, such as French, Spanish, Italian, and English.
Linda lost her parents to a car crash which took place near Buenos Aires in Argentina in the year 1947. She was the only survivor of the accident. However, Linda believed her mother, who had diabetes, died inside the car due to the lack of insulin. Linda's father was heartbroken by the death of her mother and could not accept his inability to provide for his family's needs or to save the life of his diabetic wife. Linda believed after seeing her dead mother; her father blasted the car they were in. Thus, Linda lost her parents at a very young age of 13, and life for her was never easy after that.
Career
Her first English-language role was the part of Margarita in the 1956 Western film Comanche, directed by George Sherman and starring Dana Andrews. In 1960, John Wayne asked her to play the part of Flaca in his epic The Alamo. In the 1960-61 television season, Cristal appeared as a female matador in NBC's The Tab Hunter Show. In 1961, she starred with James Stewart in the western Two Rode Together. She guest-starred in the 1964 Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode "City Beneath the Sea." She semi-retired from the business after that to raise her two children.
She was coaxed out of retirement when she became the last cast member to be added to the NBC series The High Chaparral (1967-1971). She later appeared in such popular television series as Bonanza, Barnaby Jones, and The Love Boat. After that, she took occasional roles such as the 1974 Charles Bronson action film, Mr. Majestyk.
Her Role in The High Chaparral
As it turns out, Linda Cristal was the penultimate major player who was added to the cast of "The High Chaparral" which aired on NBC from 1967 to 1971 which was produced by David Dortort. The producer had spent almost three weeks auditioning different actresses for the role of Victoria Montoya for the show without success. When Linda came to know about the character, she got in touch with her agent to see whether the casting is over. The agent thought it was over. However, Linda urged with him to recheck about the cast, and as it turns out, she was invited to the audition. For the audition, she decided to stick with a dazzling display of improvisations in her acting style instead of the previously set script. This earned her the role of Victoria Montoya in "The High Chaparral" which turned out to be the best performance in her acting career.
At the beginning of series, "The High Chaparral," Big John Cannon's wife was killed by an Apache arrow, and he marries Victoria Montoya who was the daughter of Don Sebastian Montoya and heiress to his cattle empire and ranch. After the marriage, her brother, Manolito also became part of the Cannon family. Even though the marriage between Big John and Victoria seemed more like a business transaction in the beginning, slowly their relationship strengthened, and they genuinely fall in love. They began to support each other through the array of problems they had to face while running the ranch.
She got two Golden Globe nominations for her role in "The High Chaparral" and won the award for Best Actress - Television Drama in 1968 as well . She also got two Emmy Award nominations for this role. First one was Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role" in 1968 and the second was for "Outstanding Continued Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Dramatic Series" in 1971.
