A lot of people had a crush on her in the 1980s, but look at her now…
Linda Kozlowski soared to fame as Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee,” captivating audiences worldwide. Despite her early success, her life took unexpected turns post-movies, revealing a journey of personal and professional transformations.
After the movie’s triumph, Kozlowski’s life shifted dramatically. However, she gradually faded from the Hollywood scene after her appearances in the Dundee series and other minor roles.
Born in Fairfield, Connecticut, Kozlowski pursued acting fervently. She joined Juilliard School’s elite theater program and moved to New York, facing the challenges of a struggling actor until Dustin Hoffman became her mentor.
Dustin Hoffman’s recommendation landed her the role in “Crocodile Dundee,” marking her breakthrough. The success didn’t come without surprises, as she arrived in Australia to film amid kangaroos and chilly mornings, rising to fame overnight.
Despite her fame in Australia, Kozlowski remained relatively unknown in the US initially, still navigating a humble lifestyle while being recognized abroad.
Following her marriage to co-star Paul Hogan and the birth of their son, Kozlowski’s career dwindled. Post-“Dundee,” she turned down numerous roles, feeling unfulfilled with the offers presented.
In 2014, after 23 years of marriage, Kozlowski and Hogan divorced amicably. She sought her independence and moved away from the spotlight, finding love and a new venture in Morocco with Moulay Hafid Baba.
Today, at 63, Kozlowski has found fulfillment beyond acting. Her thriving luxury travel agency in Marrakech reflects her contentment, stating that her current life surpasses the allure of acting.
