Who is Linda Lee Caldwell?
Linda Lee Caldwell is the widow of the late Bruce Lee
Linda Lee Caldwell (born March 21, 1945), a.k.a. Linda Emery, is an American teacher and the widow of martial arts master and actor Bruce Lee, founder of Jeet Kune Do. She was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, U.S.. She is of Swedish and English descent.Linda met Bruce Lee while she was attending Garfield High School, where Bruce came to give a Kung Fu demonstration; he was attending the University of Washington at the time. Eventually, she became one of his Kung Fu students when she was attending the University of Washington as a pre-medical student.
She continued to take Kung Fu lessons from him while attending college. They married on August 17, 1964; Linda was a few credits short of graduation from the University of Washington. They had two children together, Brandon Lee and Shannon Lee. Bruce Lee had opened his own Kung Fu school at the time and was teaching Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee died suddenly on July 20, 1973 of a cerebral edema.
Linda was remarried to Tom Bleecker in 1988, but they divorced in 1990. She married stockbroker Bruce Caldwell in 1991 and they live in Boise, Idaho. In 1996, Bleecker published a book on his version of how Bruce Lee died. Linda Lee Caldwell attempted to stop its publication, but was unsuccessful.
Her son Brandon Lee, an actor like his father, died in a fatal shooting accident on a movie set while filming The Crow on March 31, 1993, nearly twenty years after his father's death. Linda and Brandon's fiancee, Eliza Hutton, were involved in an out-of-court settlement with the producers of The Crow in 1993, and were instrumental in having the film released in 1994.
Linda Caldwell has continued to promote Bruce Lee's martial art Jeet Kune Do. She retired in 2001, and her daughter Shannon Lee(who is now in charge of the Lee family estate), together with son-in-law Ian Keasler, run the Bruce Lee Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching Bruce Lee's martial arts style and his writing on philosophy.

Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey
by John R. Little
Bruce Lee's last movie, Game of Death, was released shortly after the megastar's tragic death. From its first screening, controversy surrounded the film, with millions of fans worldwide believing it misrepresented Lee's vision and undermined his legitimacy as a martial artist and philosopher. Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey offers readers a unique insider's account of the remaking of this incomparable film--a film in which Lee intended to showcase not only his mastery as a martial artist and actor but also his personal philosophy.
After searching nearly thirty years, Bruce Lee expert and award-winning filmmaker John Little found Lee's original scripting notes, directorial instructions, and more than ninety-five minutes of unreleased footage from this film. In the late 1990s, working closely with Lee's widow and referring to Lee's own copious notes, Little painstakingly reconstructed the movie according to Lee's vision. Here, readers get the inside story, firsthand from the man who made the discovery, remade the movie, and, in doing so, honored the best-loved and most highly respected martial artist in living history.
The perfect complement to Warner Home Video's movie of the same name, Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey offers fans a rare behind-the-scenes account of remaking the film as well as the most comprehensive presentation of Lee's philosophy available to date.
