Linda Thorson (born Linda Robinson on 18 June 1947) is a Canadian actress, best known for playing Tara King in The Avengers (1968–69). For her role in The Avengers, Thorson received a special BAFTA at the 2000 BAFTA TV Awards along with the other three actresses from the series, Honor Blackman, Joanna Lumley and Diana Rigg.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, she attended Bishop Strachan School, and then moved to the UK in 1965 to study acting. She graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art with an Honours Diploma, including speaking and singing honors (soprano), on 1 July 1967. Her professional name is based upon her first married name, Mrs Barry Bergthorson.
She was married to the American news anchorman and producer Bill Boggs with whom she has a son; they divorced. She was married to production designer Gavin Mitchell in November 2005, but divorced in 2011.
Thorson is bi-dialectal, speaking in her native Canadian accent when she is in North America, and received pronunciation when she is in the United Kingdom.
