Life

Maud Linder was born in 1924 as the only daughter of silent film star Max Linder (legal name Gabriel Leuvielle) and his wife Hélène Peters. Her parents both committed suicide in October 1925.^[2][3]

Raised first by her paternal grandparents, and later by her maternal grandmother, at age 20 she saw one of her father's movies for the first time and decided to make his works accessible to the public again.^[4] In 1963, she compiled a film titled Laugh with Max Linder which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and also received the Étoile de Cristal.

The film was a compilation of her father's last three films made in Hollywood. In 1983 Maud Linder made a documentary film titled The Man in the Silk Hat, about the life and career of her father.
