Linda Kozlowski
“Mick, give him your wallet.” “What for?” “He’s got a knife.” “That’s not a knife. THAT’s a knife.” Who can forget the iconic scene in “Crocodile Dundee” which catapulted Juilliard graduate Linda Kozlowski to fame? Playing the female lead opposite Australian larrikin Paul Hogan, Kozlowski and Hogan’s on-screen chemistry became more, with the pair starting a real-life relationship!
Since the film, Kozlowski appeared in “Almost an Angel,” “Backstreet Justice,” “The Neighbor,” and “Village of the Damned.” However, Kozlowski was tired of being typecast, stating “these straight to-video…films I was getting were giving me an ulcer…I was the only one on the set that cared about anything…I decided to give it all away.” In regard to her personal life, it seems her role in “Crocodile Dundee” was fated, marrying Hogan in 1990, and giving birth to a son, Chance. In 2013 however, the duo split, and she married her Moroccan lover, Moulay Hadid Babaa!
Pamela Anderson
Wa-wa-we-wah... none other than CJ of "Baywatch." And can you believe Pamela Anderson is now in her 50s? Gosh, time flies when you’re a mega-babe known for running on the sand in Malibu. Or for being unceremoniously thrown into a marriage sack by Sacha Baron Cohen…genius way to get the woman of your dreams, no really. Anderson shot to fame on THAT Playboy cover in February 1990. Soon after she was scouted for roles on Home Improvement, Baywatch, and V.I.P., as well as films "Raw Justice" and "Barb Wire" (Reow!).
Sadly though, Pamela has been unlucky in love, with tempestuous relationships with Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. It seems though she may have found love with French footballer Adil Rami...for five minutes, before having a two-year-long marriage with producer Jon Peters.
Lisa Bonet
Born to a teacher and an opera singer, you’ve definitely heard of Lisa Bonet. Her iconic part as Denise Huxtable is one that will go down in TV history and gave her the popularity to rise as an actress. Her first husband, Lenny Kravitz wrote songs about her, and also brought a child into the world together, Zoë, who has also followed in her mother’s acting footsteps.
Last appearing in the 2016 Emmy Award Winning TV series, "Ray Donovan," Bonet married "Aquaman" hunk Jason Momoa in 2017. They had a couple of children before they made a mutual decision to break up in 2022.
Raquel Welch
Raquel Welch's role in "One Million Years B.C." caught the attention of many men (and still to this day may we add!) and women, as well as subsequently producing one of the highest-selling pin-up posters of all time. After the death of Monroe in 1962, Raquel assumed her place, and rid the world of the idea that sex goddesses came in one form only; peroxide blondes.
Of Bolivian and Irish heritage, she was constantly reminded of her beauty even as a teenager, with nicknames “Miss Photogenic” and “Miss Contour.” With two kids at the age of 25, and one divorce behind her, she moved to Dallas, working as a model. Unfortunately, her acting career didn’t take off quite as she’d hoped, typecast as the sexy, va-va-voom bombshell. In 2023, at the age of 82, she sadly passed away.
Kim Richards
When your career starts only months after you’ve come out of the womb, surely that means you’re destined for stardom right? After a TV commercial for Firth Carpet, she starred as the adorable Prudence Everett in TV series "Nanny and the Professor."
After a number of film roles in the 70s, she guest-starred in a slew of TV series’ including "Emergency!," "Diff’rent Strokes," "Alice," "Fantasy Island," "The Love Boat," "CHiPs," "Magnum, P.I.," "The Dukes of Hazzard" as well as "Little House on the Prairie." In 2010, Richards joined "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," and was a regular cast member for five seasons!
