Biografía

After taping an episode of Cybill (1995), she admitted herself into a hospital as she felt mildly ill. Having been previously diagnosed with leukemia, and doing prescribed treatments, there was no immediate concern for her condition, and she was in high spirits during her stay. It was the following day when she unexpectedly died, and at her bedside was the script for the next episode of Cybill (1995), in which she had recently earned a recurring role.

She wore an auburn wig over her natural role during her role as Helen Roper on Three's Company (1976) (1977-1979), and in the same role on the spinoff show, The Ropers (1979) (1979-1980).

Buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, California, USA. She is buried with her father, Bert Lindley. Her name does not appear on the marker.

Survived by three of her five children: daughters Dr. Elizabeth Blalock of Laguna Beach, California and Alice Ulm of New York; and one son, William Ulm of Santa Barbara, California). Her son John Francis Marcus Ulm predeceased her in 1990, and her other son Herbert Lindley Ulm predeceased her in 1994.

The daughter of show-business parents Herbert "Bert" Maxwell Lindley and Elizabeth Frances "Bessie" Fisher, Audra Lindley quit school at 15 and worked her way up as an extra, a stand-in, a stunt double, and eventually as a contract player with Warner Brothers.
