Linda Evans | 11/ 18/ 1942 | 79

Linda Evans started her career in Hollywood by taking on a guest role for Bachelor Father. She got a break with The Big Valley, a western TV series where Audra Barkley played from 1965 to 1969. Her most significant gap was in Dynasty, where “catfights” first appeared between Joan Collins and her characters. It was also here where she received her Golden Globe and was a constant nominee throughout the show’s run. Though many would assume that she would continue her acting career, Evans retired after Dynasty ended.

The actress set up several investments like fitness centers and published a beauty and exercise book as well. She did go back to acting for a bit for Dynasty: The Reunion. She also tried her hand in Hell’s Kitchen, which she won. In one interview, Evans said that she did not want to be famous, which was one of the reasons why she did not pursue an acting career like the others. On a good note, she is enjoying her time away from the limelight today.
