A lot of people had a crush on her in the 1980s, but look at her nowβ¦
After her breakout role in βCrocodile Dundeeβ, Linda Kozlowski found herself thrust into the international spotlight. Starring opposite Paul Hogan, the film marked a significant milestone in her career trajectory. However, following the βDundeeβ series and a handful of other projects, Kozlowski gradually veered away from the glitz and glamor of Hollywood.
Hailing from Fairfield, Connecticut, Linda Kozlowski was born on January 7, 1958, with aspirations of treading the boards. She pursued her passion for acting by enrolling in the prestigious theater program at the Juilliard School. Upon graduating in 1981, she made her mark in various off-Broadway productions before transitioning to minor roles on Broadway and television. Notably, she starred alongside Dustin Hoffman in the television movie βDeath of a Salesmanβ, marking a significant milestone in her career.
Lindaβs path to fame wasnβt without its hurdles. Following her stint as a waitress post-βDeath of a Salesmanβ, she relocated to California. It was there, under the wing of her mentor Dustin Hoffman and his wife, that Linda found refuge in their Malibu beach house. It was from this humble abode that Linda embarked on an audition that would alter the course of her life.
Dustin Hoffmanβs endorsement landed Linda the coveted role of Sue Charlton in βCrocodile Dundeeβ, a character she portrayed with aplomb. The filmβs astronomical success, raking in over $320 million against a $10 million budget, catapulted Linda Kozlowski into stardom virtually overnight. Interestingly, her fame initially soared in Australia due to the filmβs early release there.
Despite her newfound celebrity status, Linda felt somewhat overlooked in Hollywood. While she reprised her role in the βCrocodile Dundeeβ sequels, she declined numerous offers for roles that pigeonholed her as the quintessential girlfriend of a comedic lead. Ultimately, Linda decided to bid adieu to acting after the third installment of βDundeeβ.
In her personal life, Linda Kozlowski found love on set with her co-star Paul Hogan during the βCrocodile Dundeeβ series. They tied the knot in 1990 and welcomed their son, Chance, in 1998. However, their marriage dissolved in 2014. Following her divorce from Paul Hogan, Linda received a substantial settlement, empowering her to chart her own course. She turned her gaze towards Morocco, where she crossed paths with Moulay Hafid Baba, a native tour guide, sparking a profound life transformation.
Together, Linda and Moulay Hafid Baba founded the luxury travel agency Dream My Destiny in Marrakech. Crafting bespoke travel experiences tailored to their clientsβ desires became their passion. Linda seamlessly transitioned from the glitz of Hollywood to the enchanting vistas of Morocco.
While Linda Kozlowski may have bid farewell to the silver screen, her legacy as Sue Charlton in βCrocodile Dundeeβ endures. At 63, she embraces her adventurous spirit and finds fulfillment in her new life in Morocco. She believes that reality surpasses fiction, channeling her intuition honed during her acting career into curating unforgettable experiences for travelers around the globe.
