As the story goes, Linda and Ernie met the same year he parted with his first wife.
While they were attracted to each other, the actor was reluctant to pursue a serious relationship. This was not only because of his first marriage that failed, but also because of the fact that Linda is white. He was concerned about how they would get along as an interracial couple.
