PIONEERS OF TELEVISION | Linda Evans on Love and "The Big Valley" | PBS

[HerrEllsworth]

John Derek was a jackass. He kept falling for the same "woman" over and over again and then as soon as he found a younger version, he ditched the former. He ditched Ursula Andres for Linda Evans then dumped her for Bo Derek whose career he virtually sabotaged with crap like "Tarzan the Ape Man". This guy was not right in the head.

@HerrEllsworth Sounds like he had a tough life!!!

[wtf66611]

She resembles and sounds like Diane Sawyer.

Linda will always be hot.

She's fabulous, a true inspiration: a gentle, decent, loving, caring woman, LOVE LINDA EVANS! ICONIC HEROE IN MY BOOK.

@sarahlajolietigresse @41elliott Your comments sound awfully harsh. For one thing, in the 1960s, a lot of wome were still living the '50s lifestyle and had not yet embraced feminism. You can't apply their life choices from 45 years ago to the twentyfirst century...

.Furthermore, how did you wind up on this video channel? It's so sad Joan Collins has nothing to do but type from her compter keypad from her flat in London.

Lot of hate for Linda Evans here. Jealous much, people? LOL

She's still gorgeous.

[sarahlajolietigresse]

She is one of those women who are happy to be some guy's latest trophy wife. I am amazed that PBS managed to find the most irrelevant person possible to interview about The Big Valley. I hope PBS isn't surprised that her story is completely irrelevant, just like she shouldn't be surprised that someone like John Derrick would leave her.

Derek must have liked a certain look as Linda and Bo have a resemblance. She was great in the show!

[MrJosephsmileuske]

@GregWn I always thought the same thing, Ursula Andres, Linda Evan & Bo Derek all have similar look about them.

[41elliott]

WHY is this worthy of air-time...even on PBS??

I could care less about Linda Evans. She is a has-been, and we have more important things to focus on.

[scorpio888]

@41elliott And yet you're here.

[lmorganjr]

Do the full episode(s) appear on youtube?

[creolelady182]

I don't understand females like her -she allows and out of work actor dictate to her what she is and is not going to do so far as her career is concerned yet at the same time he threw her over for Bo Derek so he can make money.
