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.
What an absolutely beautiful human being.
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!
Your mother was probably just really excited to meet her :)
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 open. Marriage. Friends. With. Benefits.
isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! "

@@crees1445 John Derek was actually 31 years older than bo when he started sleeping with her. Pretty insane
This amazing lady should be offered roles in current movies, she's so underrated!!
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!!!!
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
You can just tell that she is kind and genuine. I only saw her in Dynasty and enjoyed the show a lot.
She is a kind heart person and it shows.
And Alexis is totally the opposite 😂😂
*kind-hearted
Talk about class dignity respect along with honesty and beauty both inside and out!!! Great interview.
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.
I agree with everything you said. A beautiful person!
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!
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.
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.
In Dynasty as well.
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
A beautiful soul and a beautiful woman
omg - she is soooo likable!! Love her!
She is so delightful
I've always considered her to be one of the most beautiful women on TV. Just stunning
Lord, how I have always loved THE BIG VALLEY!
Linda… your parents did an awesome and amazing job raising you. God bless your parents and you.
Such a class act.
Shes one classy lady. God blessed linda
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.
Charming absolutely beautiful Ms Evans both inside and out
What an elegant well-spoken woman. And to have been with Barbara Stanwyck as co-worker and mentor and friend!!!!
Lovely lady..so beautiful
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.
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.
I fell in love with Linda Evans when I was 3 watching Audra nothing has changed in 56 years!!
Holy Jeez!!
She still looks incredible!
That's an old interview actually
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!! ❤😀
Thank you Linda Evans.
She seems very sincere, modest and kindhearted.
When she talks about Barbra Stanwyck, that was so touching.
How beautiful, how beautiful she is, both in appearance & demeanor.
no she is not plastic surgery
She was my favorite..
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!🌟👑
She's a great storyteller, I love these interviews.
Always love Linda Evans. Still do.!
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.
Fabulous Linda Evans ! A remarkable Actress! A Beautiful woman, Classic charm !❤️
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
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? 😂
I love how natural, unpretentious and honest she is. Had no idea.
She was so beautudul! Still is!❤
Linda is blessed saying she has a magical life-good for her, not everyone can say it/including me/.
What a cool woman. She's now on my "if I could invite anyone to dinner..." list.
I cannot get over how much she and Bo look alike. They could truly be sisters.
Linda was so kind talking about Rock Hudson.
That's why I adore her.❤
Great interviews with the Dynasty ladies thank you!
She looks fabulous here
She's just lovely, and thoughtful.
Absolutely gorgeous and pure class
Loved The Big Valley and all the actors!
I love you gorgeous Linda!!! You are a beautiful person.
Omg! I totally lover her. She is a gem. Thanks for this upload. Brings back childhood memories. ❤👍
Linda Evans is one of the most beautiful sweet souls of light on this planet
A beautiful soul, met her at Nolan Millers studio , knew one of her good friends Ernie
This is wonderful.i love to listen to linda tell her story.shes an amazing woman.
So great!All those childhood years watching her and never heard her interviewed. Such a lovely person.
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.
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!
@@ScireTwins They really were Great. Standing Ovation every night.
FUN
@@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. :)
Love Linda's natural look!
What an absolute gem of a human being, we should all take a lesson😇 Stay kind everyone
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.
This is fascinating, what a star!
What a lovely lady.
Linda Evans is just, oh so precious.
She looks as beautiful as ever. I always thought she was very likable and gracious.
I just love her 🥰
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
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 !
What a lovely lady ❤️
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
Great interview! Thanks
My goodness, what a lovely woman!
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 TH-cam and others celebrating 40th anniversary of Dynasty
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.
Such a beautiful person inside and out ❤
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.
Charming lady
She was always my favorite...from the beginning . My absolute dream woman .
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
@@lillianflorence6056 Lee Majors is still living.
If shes had work its very good she looks great!!!
Es un ser humano hermoso. Linda como su nombre. Muy dulce como la Crystal de Dynasty. Eternamente hermosa. Bendiciones.
She’s super
A great Lady... a beautiful woman...a wonderful famous actress 💋🥀❤️
Very beautiful Lady 😊😘
Linda Evans played such wonderful women
She seems so sweet
She looks fantastic.
Is this a recent interview? She looks amazing.
Late 90's early 2000's
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
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.
There's an episode on The Big Valley where Audra falls into a lake and when she gets out and on her horse, she tips her legs up and the water comes flowing out of her boots, that sceen is very alluring without having to be scandalous.
She looks absolutely incredible. I want her surgeon's number!
Not knowing who she was (I was not a tv-watcher) I gave, to her, a compliment in the lobby of a condominium in Chevy Chase MD. She was very shy. After the desk clerk identified her to me as a celebrity, I was very surprised at how shy and modest she was. I still have never seen anything with her in it, nor wish to.
Contrarily, I saw Goldie Hawn storming out of a sneak previewing of her first feature-film, and she made the opposite impression, that of a haughty and egotistical contemptuous person. The movie itself I thought was very good, as well as her performance, so I don't know why she appeared to be in such a sour state of mind.
Always thought she was so beautiful
