The daughter of veteran screenwriters and TV producers
Paul Henning and
Ruth Henning, Linda Kaye Henning originally studied to be a dancer before going into acting.
After appearing in an uncredited role as one of the dancers in
Bye Bye Birdie (1963), she landed the role of Betty Jo on
Petticoat Junction (1963), on which she remained for its entire seven-year run -- and for which she is best-known. Following its cancellation, she made numerous appearances on episodic TV and game shows and performed in
stage plays and musicals all across the U.S.
Since the 1980s, Linda Kaye Henning has been a member of the California Artists Radio Theatre
