Career
Susan Foster’s Hollywood career was a supremely successful one. She did multiple roles as the classic Western crime and action female lead with Tom Laughlin. In fact, she also began her acting career with a role in the Tom Laughlin crime flick The Born Losers (1967) as the delectable Linda Prang. The film was at once an action, drama and thriller that traces the story of protagonist Billy Jack (portrayed by Tom Laughlin) who outlaws a local motorcycle gang in California. Susan’s character of Linda was a young ingénue who gets mixed up with a local motorcycle gang and his rampages, much to the horror of her on screen mother.
Her next feature was also in a Tom Laughlin film Billy Jack in 1971. This film has the same title as the name of the protagonist in Laughlin’s 1967 The Born Losers. However, the characters and the story are separate and these do not fall into the same franchise. But, just like The Born Losers, Billy Jack is also an action drama western flick. Susan Foster played the character of Cindy in this movie. Cindy’s character was different from Linda. Cindy was a much more street-wise beauty who puts fellows like Bernard Posner in their place, like she did in the famous ‘Up Yours’ scene.

The year 1973 was a prosperous and booming year for Susan where she appeared in a number of television series like Hawaii Five-O, The Magician, Marcus Welby, M.D. and Love, American Style, and the horror movie The Boy Who Cried Werewolf by Nathan Juran.
