Linda Kozlowski

Linda Kozlowski's acting fate was very unusual: success, fame, recognition and marriage - all this brought her only one film. In 1986, an unknown Polish woman got a role in the American-Australian comedy "Crocodile Dundee", which was included in the Hollywood adventure classics. However, a successful start did not contribute to a brilliant career. Having starred in two more parts of the crocodile trilogy, Linda left the cinema. Today a new chapter opens in her biography - business, another marriage and a move to Africa.

Linda Kozlowski was born on January 7, 1958 in Fairfield, Connecticut. Linda's parents are Polish-Americans Helena Parnyavski and Stanley Kozlowski.

The childhood of the girl and her older brother Robert passed in their hometown and was rather monotonous, Linda entertained herself with singing. Noting their daughter's artistic abilities, the parents decided to direct her along a creative path.

After graduating from Andrew Ward High School in 1976, Linda went to New York and enrolled in the prestigious Juilliard School, studying drama and the art of operatic vocals. She studied on the same course with the actor Val Kilmer. After graduating in 1981, Kozlowski made her Broadway debut in How It All Began.

In 1981-1984, the artist participated in various off-Broadway performances. A striking work of this period was the role of Miss Forsyth in the play of the famous Arthur Miller "Death of a Salesman" about an old loser traveling salesman who, against the background of progressive poverty, decides to take his own life in order to save his family from ruin.

A year later, director Volkler Schlöndorf took on the adaptation of this work and invited Linda to the same role. This was the first big work of the actress in the cinema (before that she flashed in the TV series "Nurse" in 1982), which, according to her admission, was, though well known, but still exciting. After all, stars such as Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich became colleagues on the set.

At the same time, Australian showman, actor and TV presenter Paul Hogan, in tandem with Ken Shady, wrote the script for a film about the "crocodile tamer" Mika Dundee and began filming the project. The whole idea was based only on Hogan's naked enthusiasm, the budget was purely symbolic, so the performer of the main character had to choose from little-known actresses.

Hogan liked the pretty blonde with an excellent figure (height 170 cm), and Linda was quickly approved for the role. Kozlowski played the American journalist Sue Charlton, who comes to Australia to report on the local hunter Mika Dundee, nicknamed Crocodile after a fight with a predatory reptile. Three days with Mick in the Australian wilderness were filled with unforgettable adventures.

Subsequently, when the film became a hit movie, critics put it “on the shelves”, noting the most exciting moments: this is a spectacular fight between Mika and the bandits, and the pacification of a buffalo, and, of course, the episode with Linda in a swimsuit, when she jumps out from under the water a huge reptile and grabs the camera hanging around his neck.

The film was presented at the American box office by Paramount Film Company, whose bosses blessed the day they signed the rental agreement. "Crocodile Dundee" grossed $ 338 million, becoming the most successful Australian film in film history. The film was nominated for a screenwriting Oscar, Paul Hogan was awarded the Golden Globe as a leading actor in a comedy film, and little-known Linda Kozlowski became popular in an instant.

From now on, she is offered only the main roles. So, in 1988, she starred as Claire in David Beard's comedy Pass the Bullets. In tandem with Billy Paxton, they portray a love couple who suffered from the machinations of a swindler preacher and decided to take revenge. In the same year, in the wake of the success of "Dundee ..." Hogan wrote the script for the continuation of the adventures of Mick Dundee. The film is directed by John Cornell. Paul and Linda star again.

This time, the story is set in New York, where Mick moved with Sue. While her beloved is busy with newspaper investigations, Dundee is frankly bored in the stuffy metropolis. But one day, Sue gets into trouble. Bandits hunt for compromising evidence in her hands, they take a woman hostage. Rescuing his wife, Mick takes her to Australia, the mafia is on their heels, but Dundee, who knows the jungle like the back of his hand, arranges "fun" days for them.

Although the sequels rarely repeat the success of the previous film, "Crocodile Dundee - 2" again broke the rental records in 1988, however, this time collecting a little less - $ 240 million. The Hogan-Kozlowski couple is becoming incredibly popular. In 1990, the couple starred together in the sentimental comedy "Almost an Angel".

Until the end of the 90s, Linda starred in several more films: in the biographical drama Zorn about the life of the Swedish painter, graphic artist and sculptor Andreas Leonard Zorn, in the crime drama Under the Law of the Streets, in which Paul Sorvino became her partner. In 1996, Kozlowski added the thriller genre to his filmography, starring in John Carpenter's "Village of the Damned".

In 2001, the third film about Dundee, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, was released on more screens. The action takes place in Australia, where the couple settled in the second part of the trilogy.

Mick and Sue are raising their son Mikey and miss the old days. Suddenly, Sue is invited by a special correspondent to Los Angeles. A woman who missed work breaks down to America, Mick and Mikey go with her. Here, Mick reveals the major machinations of one of the film studios. The third film about Crocodile Dundee grossed just over $ 39 million at the box office. After this work, Linda stopped acting and announced the end of her acting career.

Linda's first marriage happened in her early youth. There is no information about the actress's husband. Once on the set of the movie "Dundee nicknamed" Crocodile "", Linda fell in love with the charismatic, joking Paul Hogan. He, too, did not remain indifferent to the spectacular blonde, but Paul was not free.

Moreover, his personal life turned out to be very unusual: at the age of 18, while still a simple hard worker, he married Noeline Edwards, who gave birth to five children one after another. In 1981, Paul, having become a TV star, divorced his wife, but a year later the couple got back together, unable to bear the separation.

And now, when the beautiful Linda appeared on the horizon, 18 years younger than him, Hogan again filed for divorce, now finally. Linda and Paul were able to get married and start a family only in 1990, and in 1998 their son Chance was born.

The couple fell short of the silver wedding and divorced in 2014 due to "irreconcilable contradictions." The actress claims that their divorce was peaceful. They shared custody of their son. Also, Hogan retained the rights to the filmmaking of Crocodile Dundee, while Linda received a one-time payment of $ 6.25 million. With these funds, the woman purchased 3 beaches in Venice.

Now Linda is happy in a new relationship. Her chosen one Moulay Hafid Baba is Linda's travel business partner. In 2017, lovers were noticed with gold wedding rings on their fingers, as a result of which rumors arose about their marriage, which the former actress did not refute, but did not confirm either.

Linda completely changed her image, stopped being a blonde, opting for a reddish shade. In her age, she looks good, delighting fans. The woman shared that cryogenic therapy helps her stay young.

In 2018, it became known that Linda and Moulay now live in the United States, but are going to move to his home country - Morocco. Perhaps in 2019, the couple will already move to a new place of residence.
