Linda Evans, precisely 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) tall, is an American actress whose statuesque height contributed to her glamorous on-screen presence. Known for portraying the strong-willed Audra Barkley in The Big Valley (1965–1969), her height lent an air of commanding elegance to the role. Evans reached peak fame as the beautiful and resilient Krystle Carrington in the hit soap opera Dynasty (1981–1989), where her 5ft 7 frame perfectly embodied the show's opulent, larger-than-life divas. In interviews, she embraced her stature, quipping she'd rather be a 'cute big thing' than a 'cute little thing,' despite photographing shorter—a trait that enhanced her versatile appeal in television stardom.
