Linda Evans talks about leaving Dynasty

Linda Evans opened up about her time on the popular 1980s series Dynasty. Linda played Krystle Carrington. She left just one season before it ended and now she is sharing why she did that. Linda admitted that she felt blessed to be a part of such a successful show but it was very exhausting.

She said, “The last three years of ‘Dynasty,’ we were so successful that I had no days off. Not to knock it, because it was a gift from God, but I knew I wanted more out of my life. Still, I didn’t know the show was ending or I would have stuck out the last year.”
