Lin, a devoted and loving mother, has been blessed with two exceptionally gifted daughters, each carving out their own unique paths in their respective fields.
Claudie Blakley, her eldest daughter, has established herself as a respected and accomplished actress, boasting an impressive repertoire of captivating performances in a multitude of esteemed productions. Her standout roles in critically acclaimed films such as Pride and Prejudice and Gosford Park have solidified her position as a talented and sought-after thespian.
Kirsten Blakley, Lin's younger daughter, has followed in her footsteps, but has taken a different creative path. As the lead singer of the indie band Little Spitfire, Kirsten has been making waves in the music scene with her soulful voice, which has garnered a devoted following among fans of her genre. Her unique sound and captivating stage presence have cemented her position as a rising star in the music world.
Lin's existence was irreparably altered by the devastating loss of her devoted spouse, Alan Blakley, a pioneering member of the renowned British pop group the Tremeloes, whose remarkable achievements in the 1960s were marked by an impressive array of hit singles.
Alan's untimely and heartbreaking demise in 1996, caused by the cruel hand of cancer, left an indelible mark on Lin and their loved ones, a sorrow that would linger long after the initial shock had passed.
