Linda Evans, born Linda Evenstad on November 18, 1942, in Hartford, Connecticut, rose to fame as one of television’s most beloved stars. Her parents, both dancers, moved the family to North Hollywood when she was six months old. Shy as a child, she pursued acting in high school and later changed her name to Linda Evans to launch her professional career. She eventually earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Early Career and Breakthrough
Evans began with small television roles in the 1960s. Her breakthrough came with The Big Valley, where she played Audra Barkley. This role established her as a talented actress and set the stage for her most iconic role.
In the 1980s, Evans starred as Krystle Carrington on Dynasty. Opposite Joan Collins’ fiery Alexis, Evans portrayed a kind yet strong character that became a cultural touchstone. She won a Golden Globe in 1981 for Best Actress in a TV Drama and multiple People’s Choice Awards, reflecting both her talent and popularity.
Personal Challenges
Evans faced personal heartbreak when her husband, John Derek, left her. Despite these challenges, she maintained focus on her career and personal growth.
