After her role in “Crocodile Dundee,” Linda Kozlowski gained international recognition, co-starring alongside Paul Hogan in a film that marked a significant turning point in her career. Born on January 7, 1958, in Fairfield, Connecticut, Kozlowski pursued her passion for acting at the Juilliard School, graduating in 1981. Her journey to stardom had its challenges, including a period working as a waitress before moving to California.
Dustin Hoffman, her mentor, offered her a place to stay in Malibu, and from there, Linda embarked on an audition that changed her life. Hoffman recommended her for the role of Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee,” a successful audition that catapulted her to stardom. Despite the film’s global success, Linda felt overlooked in Hollywood, leading her to turn down roles that typecast her.
She continued acting in the “Crocodile Dundee” sequels but eventually stepped away from Hollywood after the third installment. In her personal life, Linda married co-star Paul Hogan in 1990, and they had a son named Chance in 1998. However, their marriage ended in 2014.
Following her divorce, Linda received a substantial settlement, allowing her to shift her focus. She turned her attention to Morocco, where she met Moulay Hafid Baba, a native tour guide. Their immediate connection led to a significant life change. Together, they established the luxury travel agency Dream My Destiny in Marrakech, creating unique travel itineraries.
While Linda Kozlowski may have left the acting world, her legacy as Sue Charlton in “Crocodile Dundee” endures. At 63, she embraces her adventurous life in Morocco, finding real-life experiences more rewarding than fiction. Her focus shifted to the travel industry, where her intuition, honed during her acting career, plays a crucial role in creating memorable experiences for others.
