The kind of down-to-earth warmth, kindness and humility Linda Evans displays here, sadly seems missing today. And I think that's a damn shame. She's physically beautiful, but her heart is absolutely exquisite.
And she's not afraid to break a finger and get down and dirty too.She said in Big Valley she had done her own stunts and she was forever whipping Alexis ass in Dynasty.She said she love to fight on shows,it seems in real life she will kick ass if she have to,sweet as pie and warm but a tough cookie lol
I met Linda Evans in 1982 and she was just so gracious and lovely. My mother who was not the most sophisticated person tells Linda Evans that she just hates Bo Derek for what she did to her, and Linda just looked at her and said well thank you. Such a wonderful person!
Bo was only 16 and about 20 years younger than John Derek at the time. Can you imagine the hashtags and Facebook lynch mobs if that happened today. But they were happily married until John's death in the 90s. It just proves that none of us can really judge what does on between 2 people we only know from tv and movies.
@@crees1445 they were 30 years apart as far as I know and there is no way a relationship between a 16 year old teenager and a man who could easily be her father would be ok.
I admire her greatly for the way she handled the issues with HIV and working with Rock on Dynasty. they were terrible times and many people were ignorant and brutal. Her kindness is character.
also how she made up with Bo and John Derek after this tremendous heartache they gave her. Like Bo Derek too but Linda - will she not turn 80 in November? - looks even better than Bo nowadays
I'm an old, old man. I remember the first time I saw Linda Evans, a long time ago, I was stunned by her beauty and the fact that she seemed so natural. I was never a fan of any of her hugely successful TV shows or movies, because I just don't watch TV much or ever go to the movies. Fast forward to now, and I'm once again stunned --- by her genuine character and humility. She would obviously be a joy to know and have for a friend.
Linda is such a lovely lady, such a kind, caring and beautiful soul. What a wonderful relationship she had with Barbara Stanwyck. I have heard Linda talk about this before. You can tell what a bond they had just listening to her talk about Barbara and how she got emotional doing so at the beginning of this interview. I also always liked how close both she and John Forsyth were in real life, right up until his death. Ho sad to find out that some Dynasty cast members ostracised her after the kiss with Rock Hudson, once his condition became known. When she tells the story about it there is absolutely no bitterness from her towards them and she doesn’t mention anybody play name who treated her like that. That shows how dignified and forgiving she is. She also only speaks about Rock in a tender and compassionate way. She really is a remarkable lady. The kindness, love and tenderness just radiate from her. What a lovely interview this is.
What a beautiful interview with an absolutely amazing woman. Lovely lady. John Forsythe said she was the most beloved person in the Dynasty series. After watching this, I can sure see why. Thanks for posting this. So enjoyed it.
Growing up, Linda Evans(tad), her real name, was my idol, & I watched every episode of Dynasty, and I think I was 10 years old, so I had to peek through the door because it was past my bedtime, or it was pre-VCR days, so I would take my tape recorder and record the episode. Linda Evans is a movie star like no other, as she is beautiful and genuine, and I was blessed to have such an idol growing up. May God bless her always and sending much love to dear Linda💜🌟🎁💫🥰! She’s a stunning, kindhearted legend!🌟👑
Linda Evans has always been one of my favorites ever since Big Valley. A very kind, caring person with a wonderful talent. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us.
Arguably one of the most beautiful women ANYWHERE. Bar none. Even today at 79 years old her beauty is easily seen. Back in the 60's on The Big Valley she was absolutely gorgeous.
Always remember Ms Evans one night at the old Spago restaurant. By boyfriend had had a fight with his Mum at our table and he fled to the washroom. When I went after him I found Ms Evans sitting on the small sofa with him comforting him as he was crying. Dane later passed from HIV. I will always treasure this Lady. ❤Ms Evans.
What a great interview with a beautiful inside and out lady. I feel like I got to know what she’s really like. She’s such a joyful, loving, gentle, kind and generous lady. She’s had a wonderful life, and acts and sounds thankful and appreciates what has happened to her. I loved watching her on Big Valley and Dynasty. She’s a wonderful actor.
Evans, the second of three daughters, was born Linda Evenstad in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1942, to Arlene (née Dart) and Alba Evenstad, both of whom were professional dancers. "Evenstad" was the name of the small farm in Nes, Hedmark, in Norway from where her paternal great-grandmother emigrated to the United States in 1884 with her young son (Evans' grandfather) and a few relatives
I love Big Valley!! Never missed an episode. Got to stay up late on a school night to watch it. A TV station in my area on the weekend would pick a show and show episodes nonstop. A couple of ti.we it was Big Valley and I watched it nonstop!! ❤😀
I loved her when I was a little boy and I religiously watched "Dynasty", I loved her when I was quite an adult man and I watched her in "Hell's kitchen" and I love her now watching this interview. Such a beautiful soul wrapped in such a beautiful person. 🩷
Lovely interview. A gorgeous older neighbor of ours attended Hollywood High school with Linda Evans as well as Stefanie Powers. She was very friendly with both girls in school and kept in touch over the last 60 years. I joked with her asking if any of her fellow students weren’t stunningly beautiful? 😂
Grazie per la classe e raffinatezza nei ruoli che hai recitato per Audra nella grande vallata e poi con james francis era un poliziesco e infine krystle in dynasty !
La douce et très belle Linda Evans que j admire depuis la série Hunter avant Dynastie avec l acteur James Franciscus merci pour cette vidéo qui me permet de découvrir un peu plus sur la vie de Linda
It would be a dream come true to meet her & chat a while. What a lovely lady in every way. Can’t imagine sharing one of her meals. Love her cookbook & memories enjoyed it so much.
@@johnflynn9619 you got to see the show every night? Did you work for a theatre? Very cool. My twin brother and I went to see the show together about an hour away from where we live in southwest Florida. We had great seats too. There was a standing ovation in our theatre too. :)
OH DEAR GOD...WAIT..........I was too shy to to do a book report but NO ONE CAN MAKE US TAKE DRAMA. I did out of my own choosing but hated it. I still became an actor. I hope she's healthy and happy. Her stand in on Dynasty is a friend of mine. Nice people
When I was 14 in 1975 I stumbled across a film shoot in Los Feliz with Linda Evans and James Franciscus. I took Linda's pic with my cheap Polaroid camera she was a total sweetheart so nice and down to earth. James Franciscus was a complete ass. Arrogant and had a major attitude when he died young it didn't surprise me. I loved Linda though.
Love Linda’s work, I think this interview is late 90s or early 2000. She is more mature than what we see here. See Studio 10 interview on RUclips and others celebrating 40th anniversary of Dynasty
The big valley is my favorite tv drama show, I am currently in the process of watching the whole series now on Amazon Prime. I am on season 2. I had a crush on the three brothers and wanted to be Audra and loved Barbara Stanwyck's strong female character, and the sweeping theme music is so inspiring.
I was about 11 or 12 when The Big Valley premiered, and as a teenage boy I was very aware of Linda Evans. She was so cute in The Big Valley, and just a couple of years later she was a clone of Bo Derek. Don't get me wrong, she was still beautiful, as was Bo Derek. But it's as if she morphed into another person. As I recall, she was being "managed" by John Derek, and he seemed to have a vision of what he wanted. I'm going back to sleep now until the nurse brings my medication.
The story that was told many years ago is that Stephanie Powers and Linda Evans physically fought over a boy...and Stephanie won,which I don't doubt,she's a tough lady,Linda pretty much confirmed something serious happened between them with this interview
I watched the interview with Joan Collins for the same channel. Joan Collins talks about the use of stunt doubles and not putting them out of work and I love how Linda here rebuts what Joan said.
She was so beautudul! Still is!❤

@@crees1445 open. Marriage. Friends. With. Benefits.
@@crees1445 John Derek was actually 31 years older than bo when he started sleeping with her. Pretty insane
@@crees1445 they were 30 years apart as far as I know and there is no way a relationship between a 16 year old teenager and a man who could easily be her father would be ok.
This amazing lady should be offered roles in current movies, she's so underrated!!
What an absolutely beautiful human being.
I admire her greatly for the way she handled the issues with HIV and working with Rock on Dynasty. they were terrible times and many people were ignorant and brutal. Her kindness is character.
Linda Evans is one fine, classy lady! Your right she handled the HIV issue with total class!!! Thanks Linda!!!!

Talk about class dignity respect along with honesty and beauty both inside and out!!! Great interview.
She is a kind heart person and it shows.
And Alexis is totally the opposite 😂😂
*kind-hearted

I agree with everything you said. A beautiful person!
You can just tell that she is kind and genuine. I only saw her in Dynasty and enjoyed the show a lot.
soooo glad i saw this right when it got posted. My dear Linda...you are priceless
I am re-watching Dynasty right now. She is so beautiful and so good in it. You can not dislike Linda. She is so wonderful.
Linda, we never missed an episode of Dynasty. So lovely!

Linda… your parents did an awesome and amazing job raising you. God bless your parents and you.
She is so delightful
I've always considered her to be one of the most beautiful women on TV. Just stunning
Charming absolutely beautiful Ms Evans both inside and out
Thank you Linda Evans.

This is one hell of an interview! She is so amazing! I like her even more than I did when I watched her in the 80s.
Linda was so kind talking about Rock Hudson.
That's why I adore her.❤
She's a great storyteller, I love these interviews.
She seems very sincere, modest and kindhearted.
Such a class act.
I love Big Valley!! Never missed an episode. Got to stay up late on a school night to watch it. A TV station in my area on the weekend would pick a show and show episodes nonstop. A couple of ti.we it was Big Valley and I watched it nonstop!! ❤😀
I fell in love with Linda Evans when I was 3 watching Audra nothing has changed in 56 years!!
What an elegant well-spoken woman. And to have been with Barbara Stanwyck as co-worker and mentor and friend!!!!
A beautiful soul and a beautiful woman
Linda is blessed saying she has a magical life-good for her, not everyone can say it/including me/.
Always love Linda Evans. Still do.!
When she talks about Barbra Stanwyck, that was so touching.
This is wonderful.i love to listen to linda tell her story.shes an amazing woman.

Great interviews with the Dynasty ladies thank you!
Linda Evans is a really great and gracious actress, I don't think she has got as much credit as she deserves. She was really great in Big Valley
Omg! I totally lover her. She is a gem. Thanks for this upload. Brings back childhood memories. ❤👍
Loved The Big Valley and all the actors!
What an absolute gem of a human being, we should all take a lesson😇 Stay kind everyone
Fabulous Linda Evans ! A remarkable Actress! A Beautiful woman, Classic charm !❤️
Holy Jeez!!
She still looks incredible!
That's an old interview actually
She's just lovely, and thoughtful.
I cannot get over how much she and Bo look alike. They could truly be sisters.
She was my favorite..
She’s still beautiful and is the same as she was on dynasty. Just a nice person. I’m glad for her and for me.
Linda Evans is just, oh so precious.
Wow! Linda Evans is still beautiful and graceful in old age. I was about 13 when Dynasty began. I had a crush on her then and still do today.
She looks as beautiful as ever. I always thought she was very likable and gracious.
Lovely lady..so beautiful
This is fascinating, what a star!
A beautiful soul, met her at Nolan Millers studio , knew one of her good friends Ernie
What a cool woman. She's now on my "if I could invite anyone to dinner..." list.
Absolutely gorgeous and pure class
She looks fabulous here
Grazie per la classe e raffinatezza nei ruoli che hai recitato per Audra nella grande vallata e poi con james francis era un poliziesco e infine krystle in dynasty !
Love Linda's natural look!
Great interview! Thanks
Linda Evans is one of the most beautiful sweet souls of light on this planet
I just love her 🥰
Linda is a sweetheart 💯

Linda is a Doll.
I met her when she was doing Legends with Joan Collins.
Me too! They were awesome in Legends!

Barbara Stanwyck took her under her wing . Like a mom to her. ‘Missy was petite but such an energy. The Big Valley’ was a great show.
What a sweet, mellow and elegant woman, yet so natural.
The big valley is my favorite tv drama show, I am currently in the process of watching the whole series now on Amazon Prime. I am on season 2. I had a crush on the three brothers and wanted to be Audra and loved Barbara Stanwyck's strong female character, and the sweeping theme music is so inspiring.
Peter breck lovely , all dead now exept Linda Evans, sad
I’m watching that now. What a great show

Late 90's early 2000's
I watched the interview with Joan Collins for the same channel. Joan Collins talks about the use of stunt doubles and not putting them out of work and I love how Linda here rebuts what Joan said.
I don't know why more people don't know about the movie Tom Horn, but it is excellent. I didn't learn about it until I was an older adult.
She's always reminded me of a blonde version of my M'ma. Impossibly beautiful. Legendary cheekbones, and genuinely kindhearted. Plus we're Coloradoans
Linda Evans doesn't live in Colorado she lives in Washington State.
@@lindaadams3622 it was in reference to the show "Dynasty" that was set in Colorado. But filmed all over California in real life.
My goodness, what a lovely woman!
My dad and I would watch Linda in Dynasty. Loved that show. I thik she was in Gunsmoke too?
She never did Gunsmoke
Nearly right it was The Big Valley
She looks absolutely incredible. I want her surgeon's number!
What a lovely interview
Great Video
Love Krystle Oops I Mean Lynda Evans,Awesome Videos !
