Linda Kozlowski achieved international acclaim for her performance in “Crocodile Dundee.” The picture, in which she co-starred with Paul Hogan, was a watershed moment in her career. However, following the “Dundee” series and a few other performances, Kozlowski gradually faded from the spotlight in Hollywood. Linda Kozlowski, born on January 7, 1958, in Fairfield, Connecticut, pursued her passion for acting by enrolling in the prestigious theater department at the Juilliard School.
She made her Broadway debut in several off-Broadway musicals after finishing her degree in 1981. She eventually moved on to minor roles on Broadway and television, notably the television film “Death of a Salesman,” in which she co-starred with Dustin Hoffman. Linda’s path to prominence was not without difficulties. She relocated to California after working as a waitress in the aftermath of her performance in “Death of a Salesman.”
During this period, Dustin Hoffman, her tutor, and his wife offered her a room in their Malibu beach house. Linda then proceeded on an audition that would change her life for the better. Dustin Hoffman recommended Linda for the role of Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee,” which she successfully auditioned for. Linda Kozlowski became a star almost overnight after the film grossed over $320 million on a $10 million budget. Interestingly, her celebrity was initially greater in Australia due to the film’s early distribution there.
Despite her newfound celebrity, Linda felt she was not given the attention she deserved in Hollywood. She continued to play the girlfriend of a comedy actor in the “Crocodile Dundee” sequels, but she turned down many more opportunities. Linda decided to retire from acting after the third “Dundee” film. During the “Crocodile Dundee” series, Linda Kozlowski fell in love with her co-star Paul Hogan. They married in 1990 and had their son Chance in 1998. Their marriage, however, dissolved in 2014.
Linda Kozlowski chose to live life on her own terms after her divorce from Paul Hogan. She obtained a sizable payout and chose to change her focus. Her focus shifted to Morocco, where she met Moulay Hafid Baba, a local tour guide. Their bond was instant, and it resulted in a huge life shift. Linda and Moulay Hafid Baba founded the premium travel service Dream My Destiny in Marrakech together. They design one-of-a-kind travel itineraries based on their client’s preferences.
Linda’s life had shifted from Hollywood to Morocco’s stunning scenery. While Linda Kozlowski retired from acting, her reputation as Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee” continues on. She has chosen to accept her exciting and fulfilling life in Morocco at the age of 63. She prefers real life to fiction, focusing on her position in the travel sector, where her intuition, acquired during her acting career, is crucial in generating unforgettable experiences for others.
