- Linda Duncombe died Sunday at age 55 from complications of a stroke, just days after being diagnosed with Stage 2 lung cancer.
- Duncombe spent the last two years of her career as an independent film producer after years in banking, and was remembered as an "infectiously friendly" fixture at industry events.
Why it matters: Duncombe built an unusual two-act career — veteran banking executive turned independent film producer — a crossover that made her a familiar face across finance and entertainment industry events. Her death at 55, from stroke complications that emerged alongside a Stage 2 lung cancer diagnosis, ended that reinvention abruptly.
