Linda Kash (born 17 January 1961) is an award-winning Canadian actress and comedian of Jewish background.
An alumna of Toronto's The Second City improvisational comedy enterprise, Linda Kash is probably best known for her role as the Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese Angel, appearing in many commercials for the product between 1994 and her retirement from the role in 2011. However, she also has many other credits across film, television, and animation to her name, most prominently as Trudy Weissman in the 1998 Jean Smart sitcom, Style & Substance and as Molly Brown in the 2012 Global/ITV mini-series Titanic. She's also the host for the morning show on Peterborough, Ontario's CJWV-FM radio station alongside co-host Dan Duran.
Linda Kash is prominent in the field of voice acting too. She frequently plays major characters in cartoons, such as Nelvana shows like Timothy Goes to School, Mysticons, and Scaredy Squirrel, as well as series from 9 Story Media Group like Fugget About It, and Almost Naked Animals.
Linda Kash was married to fellow actor, comedian, and Second City alumnus Paul O'Sullivan (whose most notable roles were in Nelvana cartoons like George Shrinks and Grossology) until he unfortunately died in 2012 in a car accident. The two of them also operated the Peterborough Academy of Performing Arts and had three daughters. Fellow Canadian actor Daniel Kash is her older brother.
