The 70-year-old Tony award winner resurfaced at a NYC theater event last week, looking phenomenal.
The TV series "Alice" is based on the 1974 Martin Scorsese film, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore." Ellen Burstyn won an Oscar for originating the title role.
Linda -- who played Adam Brody's grandmother on "The O.C." -- has no biological children of her own.

8. Linda looks great. I was afraid to hit the button thinking she was all plastic surgeried out. All natural. Thank Goodness that Linda has the good sense not to make a Royal Hollywood ass out of herself by refusing to embrace age.

14. Linda was excellent on both those shows. The word "Chrismaca" comes to mind (the combination of Christmas and Chanukah), which Linda (as the Gramma on the OC) helped celebrate. She still looks wonderful!!
