Susan Jane Myers was born in Miami on September 1, 1946; some sources say she was a native of Washington, D.C. From the age of ten, Backlinie lived in West Palm Beach, Florida, where she swam for miles off the coast and in local pools. At Forest Hill High School, she was a cheerleader and a state freestyle swimming champ; she graduated in 1964. After high school she attended nursing school for a year, but she wanted a more adventurous outdoor life. As a teenager she performed as a mermaid at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, a tourist attraction on Florida's west coast; later she worked with wild animals at Ivan Tors Studios, the Miami facility made famous by Flipper. On a national tour with Ivan, she shared a stage with Gentle Ben the bear, Judy the Chimp, and Clarence, the Cross-Eyed Lion. When Ivan Tors closed, Backlinie now in her early 20s, relocated to Africa USA, an animal theme park in Redwood City, California.

In the early 1970s when she was 23-years old, Backlinie was working at Africa USA, riding on the back of a 300 lb water-skiing lion named Zamba (also an animal actor). This led to a topless pictorial, "The Lady and the Lion", in the January 1973 issue of Penthouse, including with Zamba. She also appeared nude in the February 1977 issue of Mayfair. As a stuntwoman, she played a dead prostitute floating down the river in The Blue Knight (1973), and was seen in a falling elevator in The Towering Inferno (1974).
