Linda Kozlowski rose to international stardom with her unforgettable performance as Sue Charlton in Crocodile Dundee, where she starred alongside Paul Hogan. The film became a pivotal moment in her career, though Linda later chose to step away from the Hollywood limelight following the Dundee sequels and a few additional roles.
Born on January 7, 1958, in Fairfield, Connecticut, Linda studied acting at the prestigious Juilliard School. She began her career performing in off-Broadway musicals before transitioning to Broadway and television, including an acclaimed role in Death of a Salesman alongside Dustin Hoffman.
Struggling to secure steady roles, Linda worked as a waiter before relocating to California, where Hoffman, her mentor, provided her with a room in his Malibu beach house.
Her big break came when Hoffman recommended her for the role of Sue Charlton in Crocodile Dundee. The film’s overwhelming success, especially in Australia, catapulted her to fame. Despite this, Linda often felt overlooked in Hollywood and turned down several roles, preferring quality over quantity.
After completing the Dundee sequels, Linda retired from acting and embarked on a new journey. She co-founded a tourism company, Dream My Destiny, in Morocco with local guide Moulay Hafid Baba, embracing her love for travel.
Now 63, Linda enjoys a fulfilling life in Morocco, where she combines her entrepreneurial spirit with the creativity she once brought to the screen.
