Linda was born on November 18, 1942 in Hartford, Connecticut. She has Norwegian ancestry. She became famous in sixties when she played in western series The Big Valley. But it was nothing compared to fame she received from her role of Krystle Carrington in Dynasty. She was so popular, that men’s magazine Playboy reprinted her braless pictures. Evans was married twice. Her first husband was John Derek followed by Stan Herman.
Personal Life: Evans was engaged to Patrick Curtis in her late teens, but the two split. Her first marriage was to John Derek in 1968. They separated on Christmas day in 1973, when Derek left her for a then 16-year-old girl (then named Mary Cathleen Collins). Their dramatic split was another boost to her national attention-getting, albeit humiliating. The young Mary Cathleen, who later became known as Bo Derek, was 30 years John’s junior, was often compared to Evans as a ‘young’ Linda Evans, as the two females were very similar in looks and stature. John and Bo had met when he cast her in his 1973 film “Fantasies,” which was shot over a ten day period in Greece. He came back to the States briefly to leave Linda, and then moved to Germany with Bo until her 18th birthday, so that John wouldn’t be charged with statutory rape.
