Lynda was the best friend of Laurie Strode and Annie Brackett, although she was much closer to Laurie than she was to Annie. She was a foul-mouthed party girl, a behavioral trait that might have originated with the divorce of her parents. Living with her father, Lynda often played the "daddy's girl" card to get out of trouble. Lynda was also a member of the high school cheerleading squad, but admittedly had a bad relationship with her coach whom she referred to in cheerleader cadence as a C-U-N-T.
