Linda naquit six minutes avant sa jumelle, Leslie, infirmière spécialisée en pédiatrie qui réside maintenant dans le New Jersey. Leur sœur ainée, Laura devint avocate à Washington, DC, et leur frère cadet, Ford, comptable.Leur père, médecin, mourut dans un accident de voiture lorsque Linda et Leslie avaient 5 ans et leur mère se remaria. Leurs parents essayèrent de les initier aux arts dès leur plus jeune âge. Leur père adorait le théâtre, l'opéra et la musique classique tandis que leur mère aimait la couture et la peinture.
