Glamour model and actress Debbie Linden was born on February 22, 1961 in Glasgow, Scotland. The daughter of cabaret entertainer Neil Linden and Rosemary Linden, Debbie attended stage school and initially wanted to be a dancer (she studied both tap and ballroom dancing as a means of preparing herself for a career in show business). Linden instead went on to become a topless model and Page 3 girl. Debbie first began acting in both films and TV shows in the late 1970's; she's probably best known for her recurring role as Old Mr. Grace's saucy secretary on the hit comedy series Are You Being Served? (1972). Sadly, Linden had problems with anorexia as well as drug and alcohol addiction which started at age 13 when she began taking slimming pills to control her weight. Debbie died at home at the tragically young age of 36 from a heroin overdose on October 5, 1997. Her boyfriend Russell Ainsworth was acquitted of manslaughter charges, but was still sentenced to two and a half years in prison for supplying the drugs that killed her.
