Whatever Happened to Linda Evans?

For many viewers, Linda Evans, who turns 83 on November 18, 2025, will forever be remembered as Krystle Carrington on Dynasty. Her performance earned her a Golden Globe and a devoted fan base that still remembers her as one of the most elegant leading ladies on television. However, the blonde icon already had a long history in TV before she teamed up with John Forsythe and became a Carrington, including time in the ’60s starring as Audra Barkley on The Big Valley. In the decades since Dynasty, Evans as largely stepped back from Hollywood, though she does still sometimes act — and she’s discovered a passion for cooking.
