Larkin began her career in 1990, with the film Zapped Again! as Joanne.
She provided the voice of Princess Jasmine in the 1992 Disney film Aladdin. Disney required her to lower her voice for the role, as her natural speaking voice was considered too high-pitched.[4]
Larkin has reprised the role as Jasmine in the sequels and various other media, including The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves, as well as in the television series, the Hercules crossover with Aladdin, House of Mouse, Sofia the First, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and the Kingdom Hearts and Disney Infinity video game series.[5]
For her work at Disney, Larkin was honored as a Disney Legend on August 19, 2011.[6]
Linda grew up in Duluth, Minnesota.[7] She has been married to actor and musician Yul Vazquez since 2002.[8][9]
