Biography

Maud Linder, born 1924 in France, is the only child of silent film comedian Max Linder, often considered the very first international movie star. As both her parents died when she was only sixteen months old, apparently as a result of a "suicide pact," she was raised by her grandparents and only came to fully realize who her father was as an adult. She eventually made two widely celebrated compilations of her father's work, in English entitled "Laugh With Max Linder" (1963) and "The Man in the Silk Hat" (1983). In the 1990s, she wrote her autobiography, in French.
