She is known for her longtime portrayal of Esther Valentine on The Young and The Restless, which she has played since 1982. The show itself has been renewed through 2024. “I was very happy to hear about that,” she said, prior to adding that the show’s recent recognition at the Writers Guild of America Awards for “Best Daytime Drama” was “terrific.”
“I am so proud of our show and I am honored to be a part of it. In April, I will be celebrating my 38th anniversary on The Young and The Restless,” she said.
Linder is vying for the 2020 Indie Series Award for “Best Lead Actress in a Comedy” for her acting work in Donna On The Go. “I was blown away by that. The producer had submitted me for it and I didn’t know anything about it, so I was really blown away,” she said.
“Donna On The Go has people with disabilities in it,” she said. “I am just blown away with what they’ve accomplished with it. I think they’ve done a really good job of bringing people with disabilities to the forefront, and they use humor, which I really like. I definitely think that comedy is my strong point.”
On February 11, Linder is looking forward to hosting the screening of Studio City, which was created by Sean Kanan (who also stars in the drama series). This screening and dinner event will be held at the Elks Lodge in Van Nuys, California. “That will be really good. I’ve known Sean for a long time. We go way back,” she said. “I think this event will be a lot of fun.”
