After her breakout role in the iconic film Crocodile Dundee, Linda Kozlowski became a global sensation, capturing the hearts of audiences worldwide. Starring alongside Paul Hogan, she embarked on an incredible romantic journey both on and off screen.

However, in 2014, Kozlowski and Hogan decided to go their separate ways, despite having a son together. Since then, she has focused on creating her own path and finding love once again.
Although Crocodile Dundee brought her fame, Kozlowski did not continue pursuing a career in Hollywood. In fact, she has not appeared in any productions since 2001. So what happened to her, and what is she up to now? Let’s find out!

Linda Kozlowski was born on January 7, 1958, in Fairfield, Connecticut. From a young age, she had a burning passion for acting and decided to follow her dreams.

She was accepted into the prestigious theater program at the Juilliard School in New York. After graduating in 1981, she made her acting debut in off-Broadway productions, such as “How It All Began.” Kozlowski then went on to land minor roles on Broadway and in television, including a co-starring role with Dustin Hoffman in the television movie “Death of a Salesman.”

Moving to New York to pursue acting was no easy feat for Kozlowski. After her role in “Death of a Salesman,” she found herself working as a waitress and struggling to find new acting opportunities. Luckily, she had formed a close bond with Dustin Hoffman, who became both a mentor and a friend to her.
Feeling frustrated with her lack of success in New York, Kozlowski made the bold decision to move to California. During this time, Hoffman and his wife kindly offered her a place to stay in their Malibu beach house. It was during her stay there that she attended an audition for Crocodile Dundee. Hoffman had nominated her for the role after being impressed by her performance in “Death of a Salesman.”

Linda Kozlowski’s audition for Crocodile Dundee was a remarkable experience. She felt a surge of excitement and never doubted that she would land the part. When she received the news of her casting from Hoffman himself, she knew that her life was about to change forever.
In the original Crocodile Dundee movie, released in 1986, Kozlowski co-starred alongside Paul Hogan. The film was a massive success, grossing over $320 million and becoming one of the most beloved movies of the year. While Kozlowski became a household name in Australia, she remained relatively unknown in the United States until the film’s release there.

Despite the immense success of Crocodile Dundee, Kozlowski felt that her career was too closely tied to the film. She turned down numerous projects, many of which offered her roles as the girlfriend of a comedic actor. Kozlowski yearned to be recognized for her own talent, rather than being seen as an accessory to someone else’s success.

Kozlowski did appear in the sequels to Crocodile Dundee, released in 1988 and 2001, respectively. However, those movies marked her only on-screen appearances. After giving birth to her son, Chance Hogan, in 1998, she made the decision to step away from show business. She wanted to focus on raising her child and prioritize her personal life over her career.

In 2014, Linda Kozlowski’s 23-year marriage to Paul Hogan ended in divorce. Despite the separation, the two remain close friends and are actively involved in co-parenting their son.
Following the divorce, Kozlowski embarked on a new adventure in life. She found love once again, this time with Moulay Hafid Baba, a native Moroccan tour guide. Together, they established the luxury travel agency Dream My Destiny in Marrakech, Morocco. They curate unique travel experiences for clients based on their personal preferences.

Now 63 years old, Linda Kozlowski has no plans to return to the big screen. She is content with her life and believes that real-life experiences bring more fulfillment than acting ever did. She cherishes the independence and freedom she now has, which she felt was limited during her time in show business.
As Kozlowski continues to embrace her adventurous life in Morocco, she fondly reflects on her time in Hollywood. Acting undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping her as a person and equipped her with invaluable skills, such as intuition, which she now utilizes in her current profession.

Though Linda Kozlowski may no longer be in the spotlight, her portrayal of Sue Charlton in Crocodile Dundee will always be remembered. She has left a lasting legacy in the film industry and continues to live life on her own terms.
