Linda Arvidson (born Linda Arvidson Johnson, July 12, 1884 – July 26, 1949; sometimes credited as Linda Griffith) was an American stage and film actress who became one of America's early motion picture stars while working at Biograph Studios in New York, where none of the company's actors, until 1913, were credited on screen.
Along with Florence Lawrence, Marion Leonard, and other female performers there, she was often referred to by theatergoers and in trade publications as simply one of the "Biograph girls".
Arvidson began working in the new, rapidly expanding film industry after meeting her future husband D.W.Griffith, who impressed her as an innovative screen director.
Their marriage was kept secret for reasons of professional discretion.
