After
her appearance in "Crocodile Dundee," Linda Kozlowski achieved global
acclaim. Acting alongside Paul Hogan, the movie represented a pivotal moment in
her career. However, following her involvement in the "Dundee" series
and a handful of other roles, Kozlowski gradually retreated from the Hollywood
spotlight.

Linda
Kozlowski was born on January 7, 1958, in Fairfield, Connecticut. Her journey
in acting began with enrollment in the esteemed theater program at the
Juilliard School. Graduating in 1981, she ventured into the world of
off-Broadway productions, gradually transitioning to minor roles on Broadway
and television. Notably, she starred alongside Dustin Hoffman in the television
movie "Death of a Salesman."

Linda
faced her share of hurdles on the path to stardom. Following her role in
"Death of a Salesman," she relocated to California, where she worked
as a waitress. During this period, her mentor Dustin Hoffman and his wife
graciously extended an invitation to stay at their Malibu beach house. It was
from this coastal haven that Linda set out on an audition that would alter the
course of her life.

Upon
Dustin Hoffman's recommendation, Linda auditioned successfully for the role of
Sue Charlton in "Crocodile Dundee." The film's triumph was
unprecedented, raking in over $320 million against a $10 million budget,
catapulting Linda Kozlowski to stardom virtually overnight. Notably, her
acclaim was initially more pronounced in Australia, owing to the film's early
release in the region.

Despite
her sudden rise to fame, Linda felt undervalued in Hollywood. While she
continued to star in the "Crocodile Dundee" sequels, she declined
numerous offers for roles that pigeonholed her as the comedic actor's
girlfriend. Eventually, Linda made the decision to retire from acting
altogether following the third "Dundee" installment.
In
her personal life, Linda Kozlowski discovered love with her co-star Paul Hogan
during the "Crocodile Dundee" series. They exchanged vows in 1990 and
welcomed their son, Chance, in 1998. However, their marriage concluded in 2014.

After
her divorce from Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski opted for a life of independence.
With a substantial settlement in hand, she made a conscious decision to
redirect her priorities. Her interests led her to Morocco, where she
encountered Moulay Hafid Baba, a local tour guide. Their immediate connection
sparked a transformative journey in her life.

Linda
and Moulay Hafid Baba joined forces to launch the luxury travel agency Dream My
Destiny in Marrakech. Together, they craft bespoke travel experiences
customized to suit their clients' desires. Linda's journey had evolved from
Hollywood to the captivating vistas of Morocco.

Although
Linda Kozlowski has departed from the acting realm, her portrayal of Sue
Charlton in "Crocodile Dundee" remains an enduring legacy. Now at 63,
she embraces the adventure and fulfillment of her life in Morocco. Preferring the
richness of reality to fiction, she dedicates herself to the travel industry.
Here, her intuitive skills, refined through her acting career, play a pivotal
role in curating unforgettable experiences for others.
