The actress, who played Sarah Connor, was born in 1956 in the state of Maryland USA. Linda Hamilton - the so-called future celebrity - was born with a twin sister, allowing Leslie to "get ahead" of herself for 6 minutes.

Childhood in the future Sarah Connor turned out to be difficult. First, my father died in a car accident, when Linda was only five years old; Then the mother got married a second time, and had to get used to the "new" dad; And then the girl began to have psychological problems about the fact that she is no different from her sister. Most likely, the future actress did not feel her individuality and tried to find it in all available ways: Linda dyed her hair in unimaginable colors, did extravagant haircuts and even grew stout.

While studying at school, the girl dreamed of becoming a fireman, but did not forget to attend a theater studio with her sister. And then it's time to seriously determine the profession.

The beginning of the acting career

The first education Linda got in college in Washington. But the actor's profession turned out to be hers too, and the girl, just in case, graduated from Lee Strasberg's theatrical courses . After that, it was decided to move to California - closer to Hollywood - and try to build an acting career.

After several episodes, when Linda managed to work on television, luck to the future actress smiled, and she got into a feature film called "The Game of Murder." The picture was shot in the genre of action. Linda Hamilton won the main role in it.

Also in 1980 on the screens there was a film "Violence and marriage", in which Hamilton played in a pair with Mickey Rourke. For both, the main roles were the first in their career. But very soon Linda will get the character of Sarah Connor ("Terminator") - the actress seemed to have a premonition of this event, because by 1982 there was not a hint of excess weight: Hamilton returned to an excellent physical shape.

Another star of the film was Michael Bean, who played the defender of Sarah - Kyle Reese. If the Terminator was sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor and to exclude the chances of people winning over the machines, then Kyle Rees acted as the envoy of the son of Sarah, besides, his job was to save her life. Eventually, Terminator and Kyle die. Only Sarah Connor remains alive.

"Terminator" actress Linda Hamilton can be considered a lucky ticket to the world of big cinema.

"King Kong is alive"

In 1982, Linda was honored to play one of the main roles in the film "King Kong is alive".

This film was a kind of continuation of the 1976 tape: the picture begins with what the audience learns - King Kong did not die, he got into a research laboratory and became a test animal, who was put into a coma. To prevent the death of the guinea pig, it is necessary to implant a new heart for him, but how can this be done if this animal is unique in its kind?

And then it appears that there is another such giant monkey in the world - a female that is successfully delivered to the States. But the situation is getting out of control, and King Kong is running away from the research center along with his new girlfriend.

Terminator-2

In 1991, the screens went on to continue the sensational thriller, and in the second part of the target of the machines from the future, Sarah Connor again becomes. "Terminator" actress met enthusiastically, because the second film could bring her to world-class stars.

All the action turns into a spectacular competition between the machines: fights, skirmishes, chases on motorcycles, cars and other means of transportation. "Terminator," the actors and roles in which did not differ much from the first film, in 1991 surpassed all expectations. The fees in the world box office simply "gilded" the creators of the film, as they received 400 million more than they invested. The film received 4 "Oscar", and Hamilton finally established itself in the acting profession.

Life after the "Terminator"

However, the actress for some reason did not want to take part in the continuation of the film. Or the writers did not consider it necessary to prolong the life of her heroine. In a word, in "Terminator-3" Linda Hamilton did not act, and in "Terminator-4" only her voice was used, and that fact was not mentioned in the credits.

In 2008, the television series "Terminator: The Chronicles of Sarah Connor" was launched. The plot of the series was the continuation of the second part of the "Terminator". But in this series, Linda did not participate. "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" did not last two seasons and were closed after 31 episodes.

And Linda Hamilton continued to act in films: in 1997, the adventure film "Dante's Peak" appeared on the screens, in which Linda made the company to Pierce Brosnan. There were still projects, but they were not even translated into Russian. The latest works of Linda became roles in the film projects "Chuck", "Call of Blood" and "Challenge."

Personal life

In the career of Linda Hamilton memorable can only be called participation in the "Terminator", because the remaining projects and remained in the shadows. The actress, apparently, her views on what should be her life in Hollywood.

Having been married twice, Linda got two children who, after her divorces, were left to live with her. The actress has several houses in Hollywood and Malibu. She shoots a maximum of one film a year and, it seems, does not pursue popularity at all.

The actress admits that she loves when she has time to smoke a slow cigarette, enjoy ice cream or go on a trip to Europe.

Perhaps the reason for the change of priorities was bipolar disorder, which tortured Linda from adolescence. At the age of 30 the illness worsened, and the actress even had to undergo a course of treatment. So now Hamilton leads a leisurely lifestyle and is no longer looking for adventure.

However, there was a rumor that another part of the "Terminator" will be filmed, in which Linda Hamilton will nevertheless appear. "Terminator: Genesis" in 2015 became a franchise film in which Linda took no part. Maybe the actress is ready to return to the screens in the image of Sarah Connor in a couple of years?
