Full Linda Evans Biography
Linda Evans (born Linda Evanstad on November 18, 1942 in Hartford, Connecticut) is a Golden Globe-winning American actress known primarily for her roles on soap operas and television.
Evans's first guest-starring role was on an episode of Bachelor Father. In real-life, Evans said that she actually had a crush on Forsythe. This led her to co-starring with him on Dynasty, more than two decades later.
Due to her character's name on Dynasty, she started a successful ad campaign for Crystal Light beverages, starting in 1984. She was also recently spoofed in a scene on one episode of Family Guy, in which it was implied that the actress could not work well with others. As a result, Evans finds no more acting jobs and had to work in a supermarket.
Evans was the one who filmed Evel Knievel's jump over the fountains of Caesars Palace on New Year's Eve, 1967.
Evans has been married twice. She was first married to film producer John Derek from 1968 to 1974. When their marriage ended, he soon married actress Bo Derek. Evans' second marriage was to Stan Herman, a property executive, from 1976 to 1981. Evans dated musician Yanni from 1989 until 1998. She dated Willie Tanner in the early 1960's.
Regularly listed as one of the most beautiful women in America, she appeared in Playboy magazine at the behest of her then husband John Derek in 1971 and a second time in 1982 when she was turning forty.
For her contribution to the television industry, Linda Evans has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6834 Hollywood Blvd.
Collins and Evans did not get along during the production, according to Collins, who wrote about their experience on the road in the U.K. Daily Mail. Collins said that Evans never reciprocated party invites during Dynasty, kept her distance from Collins during the series' run, revealed that she agreed for the producers to approach Evans for Legends against her better judgement (as Evans had never acted on stage before) and further said that Evans was too physical during their on-stage stunts during Legends. In the article, Collins called her Linda "The Lips" Evans, a reference to the latter's collagen-enhanced lips, and said she tried to be nice to Evans during the run, even helping with her stage fright. The article was entitled, "Why I'll Never Work With Linda Evans Again." |
