Linda Manz

In 1985, Manz married camera operator Bobby Guthrie. The couple have three children.

Manz then appeared in the 1979 film The Wanderers, directed by Philip Kaufman, and played the lead in Dennis Hopper's influential cult film Out of the Blue. She appeared in a small role as a robber in the episode "The Snow Queen" of Faerie Tale Theatre.

Her only remaining roles were a spot in the 1979 television movie Orphan Train as Sarah, one of many orphans relocated from eastern orphanages to farms in the West and Midwest in the late 1800s/early 1900s, and a handful of roles in the late 1990s, including a small role in David Fincher's movie The Game and a larger part in Harmony Korine's Gummo in 1997, playing the mother of one of the main characters.

In 1976, at the age of 15, she was cast by Terrence Malick to play the young narrator in his second film Days of Heaven, which was released in 1978. Manz's part was initially smaller, but Malick was so impressed by her that he invited her to provide the narration of the film, which appeared in the final cut. She received excellent reviews.
