Linda Cristal Children: Meet Gregory S. Wexler, Jordan R. Wexler

Linda Cristal, originally Marta Victoria Moya Peggo Burges, hailed from Argentina, gracing screens big and small throughout the mid-20th century.

While she gained fame for her roles in Westerns, it was her portrayal of Victoria Cannon in “The High Chaparral” that solidified her place in Hollywood history.

On the personal front, Cristal embraced motherhood, welcoming two sons, Gregory Simon Wexler and Jordan Richard Wexler, with her second husband, Yale Wexler.

Despite maintaining privacy, their presence at her 2020 funeral highlighted the close-knit family bond.

Professionally, Cristal’s journey began in Argentina and Mexico before Hollywood beckoned. Her talent earned her acclaim, including a Golden Globe for her debut in “Comanche.”

Beyond Westerns, she showcased her versatility, winning another Golden Globe for her role in “The Perfect Furlough.”

However, it was her portrayal of Victoria Cannon that defined her career. For four seasons, Cristal mesmerized audiences with her portrayal of the resilient rancher’s wife, earning critical acclaim and Emmy nominations.

After retiring in 1992, Cristal left behind a legacy of over 70 films and shows, remembered for her grace and talent. While her sons chose lives away from the limelight, they undoubtedly carry her spirit forward.
