Linda Carroll Hamilton

Linda Hamilton is an American actress. She is known for her two "Terminators" by James Cameron. The films "Terminator" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" made the actress famous, and the films "Black Moon Rising", "King Kong Alive" and the popular TV series "Beauty and the Beast" cemented the success of the American woman.

Linda Carroll Hamilton was born in Salisbury in September 1956. The future celebrity was born not alone, but almost simultaneously (6 minutes difference) with her twin sister Leslie. At that time, the Hamilton spouses had their eldest daughter growing up. A year after the appearance of the twins, a son was born.

When Linda and Leslie were 5 years old, their father, a physician by training, died in a car accident. Soon my mother got married a second time. The Salisbury police chief became the wife of the woman.

As a child, Linda Hamilton was most worried about the resemblance to her sister Leslie. The girl did everything to be different from her “photographic copy”. Over time, this violent struggle for dissimilarity grew into a problem: Linda was diagnosed with a mental disorder. Doctors diagnosed manic-depressive syndrome. To distinguish herself from her sister, Hamilton not only cut and dyed her hair, but also shortened her eyelashes, and also gained weight.

To overcome the disease, I had to resort to the help of antidepressants and treatment with a psychiatrist. Linda managed to cope with the disease, and at the age of 30 she and her sister became best friends.

As a child, Linda Hamilton did not even think about the acting profession. The girl dreamed of becoming an archaeologist or a firefighter. Nevertheless, the sisters often went on stage, where they played in amateur performances.

The film actress has repeatedly said that she grew up in a "boring Anglo-Saxon family", in which there was little interesting. Linda tried to read books every free minute, so her efforts were rewarded in the future.

Linda Hamilton graduated from Chestertown College in 1979. After him, together with her sister, she went to Maryland, where she entered another college. Probably, it was there that the girl finally made her choice and decided to become an actress. From Maryland, Hamilton went to New York, where she entered the acting classes of the famous Lee Strasberg.

Linda took her first steps in her career in California. The actress was involved in the popular TV series Secrets of Midland Heights. This project brought Linda recognition. As for the debut in a full-length movie, it took place in 1982, when the drama "The Killing Game" was released on the big screens.

Fame fell on Linda Hamilton in 1984. Viewers saw the film "Terminator" by James Cameron, which instantly turned into a cult film. The girl got the main role here, the actress starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It seems that even the creators of the picture, at first glance, the usual fantastic trash of the "B" category, did not expect such a success. The project participants woke up like stars. Participation in "Terminator" was a turning point in the cinematic biography of the American actress.

The sequel - "Terminator 2: Doomsday" - was even more successful. Linda Hamilton was included in the list of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. The box office box office just made the filmmakers rich. The film received 4 Oscars.

And the actress was awarded the MTV Award. At that time, she already had Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for her role as Katherine Chandler in Beauty and the Beast.

Among other projects, in which Linda Hamilton starred, the most striking were the films "Children of the Corn", "King Kong is Alive", "The Rising of the Black Moon" and "Dante's Peak". In the latter, the actress played in tandem with Pierce Brosnan.

Linda also took part in the creation of the film "Terminator: May the Savior Come". It is her voice that sounds in the frame when John Connor (played by Christian Bale) listens to his mother's recordings.

In an interview with The Belfast Telegraph, Linda said that she was ready to shoot the next sequel to the franchise. According to the actress, she would like to play the role of a cyborg, created in the image and likeness of her heroine.

The American expressed the hope that the creators of the future picture will find a way to make her younger, because a comparison with the young Sarah of 25 years ago today would clearly not be in favor of Linda.

Despite her readiness to continue shooting, as well as efforts to improve her physical parameters (Linda's height - 168 cm, weight - 57 kg), the actress could no longer take part in the film "Terminator: Genesis". In the new film, the role of Sarah Connor was played by British film actress Emilia Clarke, who many know from the television series Game of Thrones.

The star has been married twice. Bruce Abbott became Linda's first husband. Hamilton's long-awaited pregnancy ended in miscarriage. But still, the couple had a baby. The boy was named Dalton. The son was unable to consolidate the shaky marriage in which the actress developed bipolar disorder. Frequent depression and nervous breakdowns hastened the break with Bruce.

Soon, Linda Hamilton's personal life improved. During the filming of "Terminator", the actress became close to James Cameron. The romance that broke out caused the director to divorce Katherine Bigelow.

The couple had a daughter in 1993, whom Linda and James named Josephine. In 1997, celebrities legalized their relationship, but divorced 2 years later.

Today, the actress lives with her children on the sunny coast in Malibu. After her divorce from Cameron, the actress received $ 50 million in compensation, which allowed the Hollywood celebrity to become a wealthy woman. Nevertheless, the American film actress continues to work and cannot part with her addiction - smoking.

The American television series "Challenge" is the last film in which the actress took part. The picture tells about the life of people and aliens after many years of war. The genre of fantastic thriller, already familiar to Linda, was appreciated by viewers.

In 2017, the American media reported that Linda Hamilton would star in Is It Easy. It is assumed that the filming of the film will be completed in the fall of 2017 in Louisiana.

In an interview with Variety, director Will Edison said that Hamilton decided to offer the lead role in his film. According to Edisson, "Linda is the only one with the right energy to bring a new character to the screen."
