Linda Kozlowski became famous after starring in “Crocodile Dundee” alongside Paul Hogan. She was born on January 7, 1958, in Fairfield, Connecticut. Linda studied acting at the Juilliard School and began her career in off-Broadway plays. She later appeared in small roles on Broadway and in a TV movie with Dustin Hoffman.
After working as a waitress, Linda moved to California and stayed with Dustin Hoffman and his wife in their Malibu beach house. With Hoffman’s recommendation, she auditioned for the role of Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee,” which made her a star after the film’s huge success.
Despite her newfound fame, Linda felt she wasn’t getting the roles she deserved in Hollywood. She continued to act in the “Crocodile Dundee” sequels but declined offers that typecast her. After the third movie, she decided to stop acting.
In her personal life, Linda married her co-star Paul Hogan during the “Crocodile Dundee” series, and they had a son named Chance in 1998. However, they divorced in 2014.
After her divorce, Linda received a substantial settlement and shifted her focus to Morocco. There, she met Moulay Hafid Baba, a local tour guide, and they started the luxury travel agency, Dream My Destiny, in Marrakech. They create custom travel plans for their clients.
Linda may have left acting, but her legacy as Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee” lives on. At 63 years old, she enjoys her life in Morocco and works in the travel industry, using her intuition from her acting career to create memorable experiences for others.
