As one of Hollywood’s famous LGBT couple, they have been able to show that true love is real and that it does not just exist in movies.
The talented veteran actress is famous for her character in the 1980’s film, "Popeye." She is also renowned for playing the role of a man in "The Year Of Living Dangerously," which earned her an Oscar.
The 72-year-old has a condition known as hypopituitary dwarfism, and this has affected her growth, but it has not posed a threat to her relationship in any way, as both parties have continued to advance in their love.

The NCIS: Los Angeles star claims she loves her partner so much, and jokingly said that she forgives her for being younger. In the details obtained by "FastTheLatestNews," on YouTube, Linda said:
“ Karen’s six years younger, but I forgive her daily.”
Despite their bond, both women happen to be childless but live conveniently with their two dogs. Nothing poses a threat to her, not even her height.
The 4 feet 9-inch actress had always wanted to go into acting, according to her:
“ For me to want to be an actor was an improbable idea. I wasn’t beautiful or pretty in a conventional way. I wasn’t an ingénue at 22. But I was always certain of it and certain of its power…”
She takes her craft quite seriously that her role as “Hetty Lange” in the NCIS series has made the character, a favorite of the writer.
