Linda Arvidson (born Linda Arvidson Johnson, July 12, 1884 – July 26, 1949; sometimes credited as Linda Griffith) was an American actress who became one of the early movie stars. Because actors usually were not credited on screen in the first years of cinema, she often was referred to as simply one of the Biograph Girls. Arvidson had been encouraged to work in the new medium by her future husband D.W. Griffith, who impressed her as an innovative film director. Their marriage was kept secret for reasons of professional discretion.
