Linda Kozlowski is best remembered for her starring role as Sue Charlton in the beloved Crocodile Dundee series, a performance that made her an international star. Born in Fairfield, she pursued acting at the prestigious Juilliard School before beginning her professional career on stage and in smaller screen roles.
Her breakthrough came in 1986 when she starred opposite Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee. As journalist Sue Charlton, Kozlowski brought intelligence, warmth, and confidence to the role, helping make the film a worldwide box-office success. She later reprised the character in Crocodile Dundee II and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, with the chemistry between the two leads remaining one of the franchise’s defining strengths.
Although her filmography is relatively selective, Linda Kozlowski earned respect for choosing roles carefully rather than pursuing constant screen appearances. Her work continues to be rediscovered by new audiences as classic 1980s films enjoy renewed popularity through streaming services and nostalgic retrospectives.
