Linda Evans found success in the hit '80s soap opera “Dynasty” alongside Joan Collins and John Forsythe.
It had been several years since Evans’ last major TV show, "The Big Valley," ended in 1969. And Evans was ready for a fresh start. "John and I broke up nine years after we met – he fell in love with Bo," the 78-year-old told People magazine in this week’s issue. "And then I called my agent and said, ‘I want to work again,’ and he said, ‘You’ve been away for so long. How are we going to pull this off? Everyone’s forgotten about you,’" she recalled.More Related News
