Many things were better in the 1980s, not least the TV shows.
Take the soap opera Dynasty, a true classic that grew over the years and turned the incredible Linda Evans into a household name.
With her timeless beauty and unmatched elegance, Evans has captivated audiences for decades — and seeing her today, you can’t help but tip your hat in admiration.
Today, at 82 years old, Linda Evans lives quietly, far from the spotlight, but her legacy still glows. Whether remembered as Audra Barkley in The Big Valley or Krystle Carrington in Dynasty, she remains an icon of elegance, strength, and authenticity.
After selling her massive 12,000-square-foot villa in the Pacific Northwest, she downsized to a cozy estate near Olympia. Nestled on 70 acres with a large garden and even deer roaming nearby, her cottage-style home is warm, personal, and filled with charm. She also has a special storage space for her Dynasty wardrobe, though she admits it overwhelms her and she rarely goes inside.
Linda has spoken openly about why she left the Hollywood scene. She said she wanted an inner journey, to find herself and discover if there was more to life than fame and success. For her, that meant moving away, living quietly, and embracing her true self.
Some stars are made. Others, like Linda Evans, are destined.
Linda Evans didn’t just survive Hollywood — she transcended it. And that’s why, decades later, we’re still talking about her.
