Linda Evans

Linda Evans is one of those faces I associate instantly with a whole era of American television. She put in years as Audra Barkley on The Big Valley in the late 1960s, but it's Krystle Carrington on Dynasty that really cemented her, an eight-season run through the 1980s that made her a household name. What strikes me is the longevity: a Hartford-born performer with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame who carried two long-running shows across two very different decades. That kind of staying power on network TV is harder to pull off than it looks, and she made it seem effortless.
