Tatyana Ali may not look so familiar, or maybe she does, but certainly not from “Crocodile Dundee I.” The ever-so-lovely Tatyana Ali starred only in the second film of the trilogy, “Crocodile Dundee II.” She portrayed the role of “park girl.” Not so memorable.
But get ready for this! This beautiful actress and the adorable little girl from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” are the same person! The little kid we watched grow up on “Fresh Prince” is now a major Hollywood star. Today, she is working on her new album and has starred in many box-office films. She is certainly creating quite the name for herself. Bravo!
Maggie Blinco
In the first and second films of the "Crocodile Dundee" trilogy, Maggie Blinco played the character of Ida. Maggie’s up-and-coming career didn’t end after "Crocodile Dundee II" - thankfully for her, it continued to flourish. She went on to star in films such as "Flirting," "Cheek to Cheek," and "Doctor Doctor."
At over 80 years old, Australian actress Maggie Blinco feels she is in a category all her own as far as roles go. She has played her fair share of dementia patients of late but is excited to be playing a politically incorrect nanna in a new comedy. More recently, Maggie appeared in a short film called "BABA."
Paul, Linda, & Chance
During the days of shooting the Dundee films, the Hogans were nothing more than a picture-perfect family of three. But, of course, a lot can happen in a day, and that means so much more can happen and change over time. Sadly, this is the case for the Hogans. The divorce was very hard for all three of the family members, but especially for Chance.
Hogan and his first wife, Noelene Edwards, got married in 1958. They separated and then divorced in 1981 and remarried less than a year later. A second divorce in 1986 was considered one of Australia's messiest celebrity divorces. Hogan then married his "Crocodile Dundee" co-star Linda Kozlowski in 1990. Paul has five kids with his first wife and just one with his second. In October 2013, Kozlowski filed for divorce from Hogan, saying the pair had irreconcilable differences.
Gregory Jbara
While we are talking about stars from the film "Crocodile Dundee II," let's move to Gregory Jbara. This star played the part of Young Cop in the second film. He is an award-winning actor with a massive career spanning 30 years. Jbara can be spotted in some of the biggest hit TV series, like “Frasier,” “Friends,” “Law & Order,” and “Nurse Jackie.”
His biggest and probably most well-known role is as Garrett Moore in CBS’s "Blue Bloods" (2011-2017). Born and raised in a suburban Detroit town, he stayed a New York resident through 1997. Jbara now lives with his wife Julie and their sons Zachary and Aidan in sunny Los Angeles.
Susie Essman
Susie Essman was also in "Dundee II" as the tour guide, which does not sound too big, but it was a major role considering the film was located in South Africa. Susie has come very far since her tour guide days in Dundee. She has been touring and doing shows at clubs throughout the country for more than twenty years. She was a guest on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" in 1989. Her first major half-hour special was put on Comedy Central in 1992.
Much of her comedy draws from her Jewish background - because of this, she has been featured in documentaries such as "Heroes of Jewish Comedy" and "A History of Jewish Comedy." As both an actress and a writer, Susie has become very well-known for her roles in “Bolt,” HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “Keeping the Faith.”
