Biography
Linda Doucett is an American actress and model. Born on 2 July 1954 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she began modelling while at high school and later worked as an extra in music videos.
She played Darlene Chapinni, assistant to Hank Kingsley, on the HBO series The Larry Sanders Show from 1992 to 1994, appearing in 45 episodes across the first three seasons. She also appeared in Tales from the Crypt (1994) as Valerie and in the television film Badge of Betrayal (1997). In 1993 she posed for Playboy magazine, an appearance that coincided with an episode of The Larry Sanders Show in which her character was asked to do the same.
Doucett was in a relationship with comedian Garry Shandling from 1987 to 1994. After their breakup she was dismissed from the series and filed a lawsuit against Shandling and producer Brad Grey's company for wrongful termination and sexual harassment; the case was settled out of court in 1997.
