To begin with, she was educated at Fairfield’s Andrew Warde High School, then Linda began her drama studies at the Andrew Warde Institute when she was 17 years old, and completed her education with opera classes at the Juilliard School.

In 1981, she made her debut in the play “How it all Began”, then in 1982, she obtained a role in the television series “Nurse” and afterwards appeared in a televising adaptation of “Death of a Salesman” (1985) with Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich. Her breakthrough came in 1986 when she was the female lead in the Australian film “Crocodile Dundee” starring opposite the actor Paul Hogan. In the film directed by Peter Faiman, she played Sue Charlton, a role she also portrayed in the sequels “Crocodile Dundee II” (1988) and “Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles” (2001). For her role in the first film she received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award in the category of the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting role in a movie. Her net worth was well set.

In the period between the last two films of “Crocodile Dundee”, among others she played in the comedy “Pass the Ammo” (1988) opposite Bill Paxton, “Almost An Angel” (1990) alongside Paul Hogan and Elias Koteas, as well as in the horror film “Village of the Damned”(1995) directed by John Carpenter. In 1993, the actress appeared in the film “Diagnosis of a Psychopath” (1993), and then “Backstreet Justice” (1994). In 1995, director John Carpenter gave her a minor role in the remake of “The People of the Damned” alongside Kirstie Alley, Christopher Reeve, Mark Hamill and Michael Paré.

In 1996, Kozlowski decided to leave the entertainment industry in order to dedicate herself to the family. In 1998, paparazzi photographed the couple on a beach and showed that apparently the actress had lost the remarkable beauty that had made her famous. In 2001, Kozlowski tried to resurrect Sue Charles in the continuation of the saga called “Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles”, but the effort failed to repeat the successes of the previous films. Then Kozlowski finally decided to dedicate herself to the family and the administration of their ranch in Australia. She still remains withdrawn from the public eye.

Finally, in the personal life of the former actress, Linda married Paul Hogan in 1990, and they have a son. In 2013, she asked for a divorce, and a year later the couple announced the official divorce settlement.

Quote
1 [on leaving the acting business] 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… Between that and my biological clock, I decided to give it all away.
2 Crocodiles are really bold, and they do come up on land.
3 I’ve never had to do anything I didn’t believe in. Sometimes, that meant being poor and waitressing a while longer, but I’ve always stuck with it.
4 After Crocodile Dundee (1986), I turned down lots of stuff, most of it where I’d play the girlfriend of some funny man.
