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.

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.

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! " By Steven Gooden

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.

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

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💜🌟🎁💫🥰!

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.

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.

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.
