She returned with her family to the United States after 1968. In the U.S., she briefly pursued an acting career under the name Leslie Michaels, as Linda Miller was already taken by a Screen Actors Guild member, appearing in My Three Sons in a guest role.[1]

For many years, her identity was a mystery among King Kong fans. She was "rediscovered" in 2014 and has since appeared in the G-Fan magazine and in conventions.[3]
