Maxine Linehan United States
Biography
Maxine Linehan (born July 9) was raised in Cork, Ireland (pronounced Kahrk for the uninitiated). She led a parochial life, like so many a lass before her, guided by a traditional family, a convent education and that staunchest of Irish institutions, the Church. She found early and lasting pleasure in the discipline of ballet, and became an accomplished dancer by a young age. Having had her first taste of the performance arts, she rapidly devoured other forms of the same, such as jazz and tap, choir and theater.
