Trivia

Although she was listed in the credits of several of Jesús Franco's films as a co-director, actor Antonio Mayans stated in an interview that Franco used to credit her in that manner for business reasons, although she never actually co-directed any of their films together.

She and director Jesús Franco were a couple for four decades, but only officially married on 4/25/08.

She took her name from Lina Romay, the actress and jazz artist from the 1940s.

Following graduation from high school, she studied the arts, married actor/photographer Raymond Hardy (they divorced in 1978), and began acting in stage productions.

Began working with director Jesús Franco at age 18 in 1972. Romay's life and career might have been very different if Franco's previous favorite actress, Soledad Miranda, had not died in a car crash in 1970.
