Linda O. Cook (June 8, 1948 – April 12, 2012) was an American actress, perhaps best known for her portrayal of Egypt Jones Masters on the American daytime soap opera Loving[1] from 1988–91, and from 1993-94. She also appeared on One Life to Live, Guiding Light, As the World Turns, Ryan's Hope, All My Children, Real Ghosts (aka Haunted Lives: True Ghost Stories) and The Edge of Night.
Cook was born in Lubbock, Texas, but left there at age 3 due to her fathers frequent job transfers.[1] While attending high school in Atlanta, Georgia, Cook was accepted into the Atlanta Civic Ballet and toured with the group.[1] She made her off-Broadway debut in the 1974 play The Wager and would go on to appear in several other off-Broadway plays.[2] In 1985, she starred opposite Carroll O'Connor and Frances Sternhagen in the Broadway play Home Front.[1]
She voiced Leech Woman in Puppet Master, and Baby Oopsie Daisy in Demonic Toys, although it was uncredited.[3]
Death
She battled breast cancer from the early 1990s to her death in 2012 at age 63.[4][3]
