Linda Purl RSVPs for “The Wedding oftThe Year” on the NBC Hit Series "The Office"

Henderson, NV, October 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Being asked to join the cast of one of the hottest shows on television isn’t a new thing for Linda Purl. In fact, some could say that she’s had quite an evolution during the past thirty years of television. She started out playing ‘Richie Cunningham’s’ girlfriend turned ‘Fonzie’s’ fiancée on "Happy Days," then moved to playing Andy Griffith’s daughter on "Matlock," became Joe Mantegna’s wife on "First Monday," and now Linda takes her place as mother-of-the-bride ‘Helene Beesly’ on NBC’s "The Office," making the first of several appearances on the October 8th episode titled “Niagara.”

Being billed as “the most anticipated wedding in recent television history,” the Niagara Falls nuptials of ‘Jim Halpert’ and ‘Helene’s’ daughter ‘Pam Beesly’ is a virtually guaranteed ratings winner for the network, and a reason for Linda’s fans to celebrate her return to the small screen. Rumor has it that there’s a possible storyline in the works for a little romantic interlude with Steve Carell’s character ‘Michael Scott’ that could open the door for Linda to make several more guest appearances.

While fans wait with baited breath for the upcoming episodes, Linda’s putting her other talents to good use. She’s just released her latest CD titled “Out of This World – Live,” featuring Desi Arnaz, Jr. performing a duet of the song “Forever’s All We Know,” and will be performing at an assortment venues throughout California over the next few months. Linda’s full performing schedule as well as information on booking her for future performances can be found on her official website at www.lindapurl.com.

In addition to her acting and singing careers, Linda has also firmly planted her feet in the theatre, having performed on Broadway, off Broadway and across the nation in many of the leading regional theatres. She is co-founder of and serves as Festival Director of the California International Theatre Festival. Information regarding the California International Theatre Festival can be found at www.citfestival.org.

Sample CDs and interviews with Linda Purl will be made available for media members and/or venue booking agents.
