It’s not Victoria Principal, that is Linda for sure. Just look at the hands, Linda has large hands for her size and they are very distinctive. I can tell it’s her without even looking at the hands but if you doubt it, the hands are a dead giveaway.

I've never noticed Linda's hands being especially large. For a woman who was 5'2" tall, I thought Linda's hands were likely size proportionate to her height. Very small. Need to go back and look at some of the photos where Linda's hands can be clearly seen.

Linda has large hands and feet for a woman who is 5.2’. Very feminine looking still. She has even said so herself. I never noticed them for their size. I just mentioned how beautiful her hands were and my mother noticed that they were large as well as beautiful. Then I started looking at woman’s hands all the time and I realized my mother was right. A couple years later I read an interview where Linda said she had large hands and feet.

I am not talking freakishly large or out of place. She has very expressive hands as does Rosanne Cash.

The US average shoe size for women is between 8.5 and 9. Linda is 8.5. She has an accessory navicular bone in her feet/ankles or  os trigonum which is why she never liked wearing shoes. Too painful. Her hand size seems to fluctuate with her weight. She only has 3 fingers on her right hand.

4th (little) finger is under the bottom of her mug.

I estimate Linda's hands to be about 6-6.5, which isn't all that large for hands. In fact, I believe her hands would be considered average for a woman. I guess it depends on where you're measuring from, whether you're measuring just the hand itself or from the wrist.

Linda has large feet!

I agree with you about her hand size fluctuating with her weight. I was looking at some photos of Linda from the 90s and her fingers were almost as thick as mine. Yikes! Poor girl! As to the navicular bone, do you know which foot she is afflected with on that? Or if it's on both feet? I have an extra bone in my left big toe and it's caused me no end of problems since 2010. It keeps breaking through the skin and the foot doctor either wants to remove it or shave it. The doctor advised if I have it removed, I'll be down for three months. Right now, it's behaving, so I'm in no rush to get it done.

Look how exceptionally long Linda's right hand pinky is in this guitar photo. I haven't seen a pinky like that since the Invaders tv series.  I need to start looking more closely at photos. Even so her hands are beautiful.
