Is Linda Evans still married?

Linda Evans might go down as one of the sexiest women to grace television screens. During her prime, Evans was, aside from her acting prowess, noted for her voluptuous figure and sultry deep voice, two physical characteristics that made her the dream of most men. With a body to die for and a talent to admire, Linda Evans didn’t have to flinch to attract men her way. Atypical of Hollywood stars, Linda Evans has had her fair share of romantic relationships and marriages, in her case, two marriages and two divorces.

As of this writing, the veteran actress remains divorced. Her last marriage ended in 1979. Linda was in 1975 married to Stan Herman, a property manager. Unfortunately, this marriage turned out to be short-lived and survived for barely four years. Herman died in 2002 after a bout of leukemia.

Although Linda Evans has remained single ever since, she has continued to date men. She had a romantic relationship with restaurateur, George Santo Pietro in the early 1980s. Later in the mid-1980s, she romanced Lee Majors, an American producer and actor with whom she starred in The Big Valley. She then moved on to businessman Dennis Stein, who was once engaged to the iconic Elizabeth Taylor.

Evans’ next romantic relationship would be with Greek New Age keyboardist and composer Yiannis Chryssomallis better known by his stage name Yanni. Their relationship was long term and at one point many thought they had actually tied the knot.

Evans and Yanni were together for nine years from 1989 to 1998, the longest of all his romantic relationships. The second longest was her first marriage to actor, director and photographer, John Derek, which lasted 6 years from 1968 to 1974.

How much is it worth?

Linda Evans made a lot of money acting, she inherited her artistic genes from her parents and put them to extraordinary use, overcoming the shyness of a little girl to become a successful artist.

Like most of today’s big TV stars, Evans started small and scored only small plays at first when she launched in 1960. She began to gain momentum with her first regular role as Audra Barkley in The Big Valley

Her big break came in the 1980s with her role as Krystle Carrington in Dynasty, a series that would smash American television ratings and propel actors to unprecedented levels of fame.

The role earned her numerous awards which she won, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in 1982. She reportedly earned $40,000 per episode and $52,000 per episode respectively for the show’s 5th and 6th seasons. Dynasty would remain the most prominent role of her career as she only appeared in TV movies as her activity in the industry gradually dwindled. Linda Evans was able to accumulate an estimated net worth of $30 million.

Where is she now?

Linda Evans slowly faded from the entertainment world in the late 1990s. She reappeared in 2009 when she appeared on the UK television program Hell’s Kitchen which she went on to win. A few years later, Linda Evans published her memoir called Recipes for Life: My Memories.

Linda Evans has since largely stayed out of the spotlight and only occasionally appears in the news. In May 2014, Evans was booked by authorities on what was initially suspected of driving under the influence. However, she later revealed that she had no narcotics in her system and only drove recklessly due to the intense physical pain she was going through as a result of back pain.

Linda has many accomplishments to her credit, including being a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She now spends her time away from the glamor of Hollywood while traveling the world giving motivational speeches for women.
