‘Crocodile Dundee' Beauty Linda Kozlowski Is a Gorgeous Brunette at 68, but We Barely Recognized Her
Linda Kozlowski rose to stardom in Crocodile Dundee, but forty years later, we barely recognized her!
Kozlowski, 68, tackled the role of Sue Charlton, the journalist who travels to rural Australia to meet Michael "Crocodile" Dundee, played by the legendary Paul Hogan. The 1986 film became a fan favorite back in the '80s, and spawned a series of sequels, including Crocodile Dundee II and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. But Kozlowski ultimately decided to step back from the spotlight of Hollywood, and she looks completely different these days. Now a brunette stunner, the beauty keeps up with her followers on her Instagram account.
Did Linda Kozlowski Marry Paul Hogan?
Yes! After starring with Hogan in the first beloved film, the duo married in 1990. They have one son together. However, the couple ultimately divorced in 2014.
Why Did Linda Kozlowski Quit Acting?
Kozlowski wasn't finding the fulfillment she desired in the acting world, and ultimately chose to say goodbye to Tinseltown. In 2001, she told the Scripps Howard News Service that the projects she was being offered weren't giving her what she needed.
"These straight-to-video schlocky films I was getting were giving me an ulcer, basically because I was the only one on the set that cared about anything," Kozlowski shared. "I'd say, 'Well, this scene doesn't make sense.' [They would say,] 'Aw, so what, just say the lines.' [And] I thought, 'This isn't fun anymore. This is not why I studied, it's not what I love.' Between that and my biological clock, I decided to give it all away."
According to HELLO!, she now runs a Morocco-based tour company with her husband, called Dream My Destiny.
The Memorable Crocodile Attack Scene
One of the most memorable scenes of Kozlowski's from the original film is when her character is seen attempting to refill her canteen as Dundee watches lovingly from a distance. Unfortunately, a crocodile jumps out of the water and catches the canteen in its mouth, nearly strangling her until Dundee saves the day. Who could forget that iconic '80s moment?
