Linda Arsenio is an American actress and model from Texas. She has predominantly appeared in Indian films in various languages. She is probably best known for her performance as Jessica Beckham in the 2006 Hindi film Kabul Express.


Linda is originally from Texas. She did some theatre in New York before she began acting in South Indian films. In the long run, she plans to settle in Mumbai and make a career for herself in Hindi film industry.

She made her acting debut in an English independent film, called The Process of Creative Deception, before stepping into the Indian film industry. She has acted in Tamil and Telugu movies. The Tamil movies are Sachein and Thotti Jaya in which she has item numbers, and she also plays a cameo in Kana Kandaen.

Currently Arsenio is working on the Malayalam magnum opus film Pazhassi Raja alongside Mammootty and Sarath Kumar, playing a British girl that comes to Kerala.

Linda says she suffered a lot when she was a kid. "I remember my younger days. When I was young, I suffered a lot as I lost my father." However these children must be fortunate, she felt, as they have joined the Tripura Girls Home where they are provided with not only quality education but are also given nutritious food.

"My dream was to come to India and serve these children. When I got an opportunity to act in films, I waited to do something for the unfortunate children. I am very much moved by the love and support of the people here and also the affection that is showered on me by the Indian people. What best I can do I am doing for children."
