Linda Kozlowski (born January 7, 1958 in Fairfield, Connecticut) trained at Julliard as an opera singer, and soon after graduating she debuted in How It All Began off-Broadway in 1981. From there, she played Miss Forsythe on Broadway in Death of a Salesman in 1984, and took the same role in the film version of 1985. Her biggest break came when in 1986 she was cast as the female lead in Australian film Crocodile Dundee opposite Paul Hogan. After being a controversial figure for the implied nude bondage of Favorite Son (made for TV) in 1988, the next year she revisited her starring role with Hogan in Crocodile Dundee II. Since that time she has appeared in Almost An Angel in 1990 and Village of the Damned in 1995.

She married Hogan in 1990 and has a child with him named Chance. (Hogan also has five children from a previous marriage.)
