Following her role in “Crocodile Dundee,” Linda Kozlowski rose to international fame. She costarred alongside Paul Hogan in the film, which marked a turning point in her career. But Kozlowski gradually stepped back from the Hollywood limelight after the “Dundee” series and a few more roles.
Born on January 7, 1958, in Fairfield, Connecticut, Linda Kozlowski attended the prestigious Juilliard School theater school to pursue her passion for acting. After earning her degree in 1981, she made her stage debut in several off-Broadway productions. She ultimately went on to play supporting parts on Broadway and TV, most notably in the movie “Death of a Salesman” with Dustin Hoffman.
Linda had challenges in gaining notoriety. Following her role in “Death of a Salesman,” she worked as a waiter before relocating to California. She was invited to stay at Dustin Hoffman’s beach house in Malibu during this time, as he and his wife had become her mentor. Linda began the audition that would change her life forever from that moment on.
Dustin Hoffman suggested Linda play Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee,” and Linda did a wonderful job at her audition. Despite having a budget of less than $10 million, the film was a huge hit, making roughly $320 million in revenue and instantly making Linda Kozlowski a household name. It’s noteworthy to note that her celebrity was initially more well-known in Australia due to the movie’s early release.
Despite her overnight celebrity, Linda didn’t think she was treated with the dignity she deserved in Hollywood. She continued to make appearances in the “Crocodile Dundee” movies, but she turned down multiple roles that would have cast her as the stereotypical girlfriend of a humorous actor. After the third “Dundee” film, Linda decided to give up acting entirely.
While working on the television show “Crocodile Dundee,” Linda Kozlowski developed romantic feelings for her co-star Paul Hogan. They got married in 1990, and their son Chance was born in 1998. However, their marriage collapsed in 2014.
Following her divorce from Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski chose to lead an independent life. Her priorities changed after she was paid a substantial sum of money. After that, she concentrated on Morocco, where she got to know Moulay Hafid Baba, a local tour guide. Their lives had a significant change as a result of their immediate connection.
Dream My Destiny is a luxury travel agency that Linda and Moulay Hafid Baba started in Marrakech. They create unique itineraries according to the tastes of their clients. Linda’s life had shifted from Hollywood to the breathtaking country of Morocco.
Despite quitting acting, Linda Kozlowski’s impact from her part as Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee” lingers. At sixty-three, she made the decision to enjoy her fulfilling and interesting life in Morocco. She is more interested in the real world than fiction and focuses on her employment in the tourism industry, where her intuition from her acting profession is crucial to make other people’s trips unique.
