Linda Evans at 82: Dynasty star's timeless elegance
In the 1990s, Krystle Carrington symbolized femininity, goodness, and honesty for millions of Poles glued to their TVs, following the characters' lives in the series "Dynasty." Today, Linda Evans turns 82. What does the American star look like after all these years? The pictures speak for themselves.
The lavishly decorated villas, big businesses, and elegant outfits in the American soap operas of the early '90s were magnets for viewers worldwide.
The series, depicting the lives of the Carrington family, enjoyed immense popularity in our country, and the character of the flawless and morally pure Krystle already had a legion of faithful and dedicated fans back then.
Thanks to her role as the noble Blake's wife, Linda Evans gained immense fame and captured the hearts of fans worldwide. An icon of elegance and luxury, her character was endearing with modesty and gentleness.
And what about the star's private life? Born in 1942, she moved to Hollywood with her family as an infant and grew up there. As a teenager, she began her career by appearing in commercials.
She made her debut at 18 in a sitcom aired by NBC. However, her role in the American soap opera aired by ABC from 1981 to 1989 brought her real fame.
Her role in "Dynasty" earned her industry accolades, such as the Golden Globe in 1982 and the People’s Choice Award in 1985. Eventually, Linda Evans left the production shortly before filming ended. She explained that she wanted more from life. However, she admitted that if she had known the series would end a year after her decision, she would have stayed until the end.
Linda Evans was married twice in her personal life, and her partners were also involved in the film industry, influencing her career development. In the '70s, the actress appeared in Playboy, seizing her moment of fame. In some interviews, she admitted that not all her dreams came true.
She shared that she had always wanted to be a wife and mother, but her dream never came true. By the age of 38, after facing a second failed relationship, she concluded that marriage might not be meant for her. She joked about feeling like she was repeating Elizabeth Taylor’s pattern of marriages and divorces and decided it was time to prioritize her career.
In the '80s, the star struggled with health problems, and in 2009, she became one of the hosts of the TV show Hell's Kitchen. In 2014, she made headlines after being caught driving under the influence of alcohol. She returned to the big screen in 2021 in the movie "Swan Song."
