About
Style
Linda Stein was an American rock music manager and real estate broker.
She began her career as a teacher, but left teaching to manage the Ramones with Danny Fields. She also managed country music singer Steve Forbert.
She was formerly married to and advised Seymour Stein, president of Sire Records and vice president of Warner Bros. Records who is responsible for the careers of Madonna, The Ramones, Talking Heads and The Pretenders. She was a fixture in clubs from Studio 54 to the Mudd Club and later a reliable voice in gossip columns, aided by her quick wit.
In the 1990s, Stein left band management and became a "real estate agent to the stars". She landed mega-million-dollar apartments for Madonna, Sting, Angelina Jolie, Billy Joel, Christie Brinkley, Bruce Willis, Jann Wenner, Michael Douglas, Steven Spielberg and Elton John.
According to her friend, author Steven Gaines, Stein inspired two movie characters: the real estate agent (played by Sylvia Miles) who sells a high-rise apartment to Charlie Sheen's character in Oliver Stone's Wall Street, and a record executive in the 1998 movie 54.
She had succesfully battled breast cancer and was 62 when she died.
Stein was survived by her two daughters, father and sister.
