Linda Kozlowski (born January 7, 1958, in Fairfield, Connecticut) is a Golden Globe-nominated American actress.
Trained at the Juilliard School as an opera singer, soon after graduating she debuted in the 1981-1982 off-Broadway production, How It All Began. 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 the 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, and starred yet again with Hogan in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001).
She married Hogan in 1990 and has one child, a boy named Chance. She is step-mother to Hogan's five children from a previous marriage.
