Linda Hamilton - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

Although Linda began acting at an early age, she never considered acting as a career: she had plans to become an archeologist or possibly a firefighter. For a couple of years Linda also studied classical piano and - while still being in high school - had a summer job working in a local zoo as a security guard. Her love of acting continued to grow while working with a children's theatre group in Salisbury. One of her earliest acting memories is playing Sleeping Beauty. Her first features for television were Rape and Marriage: The Rideout Case and Country Gold. Linda's first big break was in 1984, when she played the part of Sarah Connor in James Cameron's The Terminator. From 1987 to 1989 she came to fame as Catherine Chandler in TV's Beauty and the Beast. The show earned her nominations for an Emmy, Golden Globe, and People's Choice Award; she received a Saturn and a Romy Award. In March 1990 Linda was offered to reprise her role as Sarah Connor in Terminator 2- Judgment Day. 13 weeks before production started, she began military as well as fitness training for her advanced interpretation of the Sarah character.
