Linda McCartney



Linda was born on 24-Sep-1941. Raised in Scarsdale, New York, Linda was a Fine Art major at The University of Arizona. It was while living in Arizona that her passion for photographs began. But it was not until she returned to New York that this self-taught photographer began her career  whilst working for Town and Country magazine in New York in the early Sixties.

Linda was a Rolling Stone magazine photographer, and her work with rock stars has appeared in magazines around the world. Exhibitions of her photography have also appeared in some 50 galleries worldwide, from South America to Australia. She has also exhibited in London’s prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum and has been voted the USA’s Female

Photographer Of The Year

Linda's Kitchen

 Linda loved animals so much that in  1989, Linda published her own guide to vegetarian Cookery Linda McCartney’s Home Cooking. The book has become the biggest-selling vegetarian cookbook ever in the UK and a best-seller in the USA; with more than 250,000 copies sold.

In fact, Linda McCartney’s vegetarian food range has been so successful in the UK that her meals are now on the menu at London’s famous

Hard Rock Cafe.

Sadly Linda died on 17 April 1998 and is very much missed.

Thank you Linda for everything
