Linette plays Paulette Thursday, sister-in-law to Detective Thursday (Roger Allam) and wife to Charlie (Phil Daniels).

Linette's trademark emotional versatility earned her in the lead in Melody's Tune and led writer-director Daniel Yost (co-writer, Drugstore Cowboy) to cast her as a dysfunctional mother,Wanda, who abandons her daughter on the streets. The girl imagines a soothing good mother, Lulu, who is also played by Linette.
Her journey began when she was only three years old, when she slipped on her first ballet shoes and discovered an instant bond with the performing arts. Linette is trained classical ballet dancer. Before drama school Linette also had a very successful career as a model and has shot numerous campaigns including for Burberrys of London.
An injury ended her dancing career, so her passion for stories that she learned as a child took on new meaning. She turned to her greatest love and was accepted into the prestigious Drama Centre London.
Before she graduated in 2001, she was cast opposite David Hayman in Trial and Retribution, created and written by Lynda LaPlante. She graduated shortly after with a BA Hons.

She is lending her talents to raise funds for the charity Kids for Kids by involving her performing arts schools in the U.K. and give aid to at-risk children in Sudan.
