Linda Hamilton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Linda Carroll Hamilton (born September 26, 1956 in Salisbury, Maryland) is a famous American movie actress.
Notable for her performances as Sarah Connor in The Terminator series and other films, as well as her starring role in the TV series Beauty and the Beast. She has bipolar disorder. She has a twin sister Leslie, a nurse, who helped with a cameo in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. As she found that her performance as the ferocious resistance fighter in T2 had typecast her, she turned down a role in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. She married twice and divorced twice, having one child with each of her husbands. (She didn't marry Peter Horton.)
Her other movie credits include Mr. Destiny (1990) with Jim Belushi and Courteney Cox as well as Smile (2005).
