Linda Kozlowski’s journey from a struggling actress to Hollywood fame began unexpectedly in the mid-1980s when she landed the role of Sue Charlton in Crocodile Dundee, a low-budget Australian comedy that became a global phenomenon, grossing $328 million worldwide.
The film not only catapulted her career but also led to a real-life romance with co-star Paul Hogan, who was nearly 20 years her senior and married at the time. Despite media scrutiny, their relationship flourished, and they married in 1990, enjoying years of public fascination. However, Kozlowski’s Hollywood career didn’t follow the usual trajectory, as she found herself typecast and uninterested in the repetitive roles being offered. After starring in the unsuccessful Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles in 2001, she stepped away from acting to focus on her family. Her marriage to Hogan lasted 23 years before ending amicably in 2014, after which she found new love with Moroccan tour guide Moulay Hafid Baba. Embracing a fresh start, she moved to Morocco, co-founded a luxury travel company, Dream My Destiny, and pursued a life filled with adventure and business endeavors. With a financial cushion from her divorce settlement and wise investments, Kozlowski has built a successful life beyond Hollywood, trading the spotlight for a fulfilling existence in Morocco, where she enjoys travel, style, and business ventures far removed from her former career.
