Career

Kozlowski debuted in the 1981–1982 off-Broadway production How It All Began. She played "Miss Forsythe" on Broadway in Death of a Salesman and in 1984 took the same role for the 1985 film version.

Her big break came in 1986 when she was cast as the female lead, opposite Paul Hogan, in the Australian film Crocodile Dundee, during the filming of which their on-screen chemistry sparked a real-life romance. In 1987, Kozlowski was nominated for a Golden Globe award in the Best Supporting Actress category for her performance as Sue Charlton.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Two years later, she revisited her starring role with Hogan in Crocodile Dundee II. Also, in 1988, she starred with Bill Paxton, Tim Curry and Annie Potts in Pass the Ammo and the TV miniseries Favorite Son.

Since that time, she has appeared in Almost an Angel (also starring Hogan) in 1990, Backstreet Justice (with Paul Sorvino) and The Neighbor (with Rod Steiger) in 1994, and Village of the Damned in 1995. In 2001, she starred again with Hogan in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.

She has largely left the acting business because of dissatisfaction with her roles, stating: "These straight-to-video, schlocky films I was getting were giving me an ulcer, basically because I was the only one on the set that cared about anything... Between that and my biological clock, I decided to give it all away."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
