Linda’s daughter Francesca Baer is an actress who plays the role of Olivia, a research assistant working in artificial intelligence, on the CBS drama, “Intelligence.” Francesca attended the Latin School of Chicago and studied at the Piven Theatre Workshop in Evanston. She later joined the University of Southern California.
During an interview via email, she said: “I never wanted to go into journalism but I know I gained confidence in myself and in being onstage by watching how my mother handles herself on TV, during breaking news, and when she hosts/MCs events around Chicago. I’ve always been inspired by her.”
