Happy Birthday Linda Hamilton!

Happy Birthday Linda Hamilton!  One of Hamilton’s first roles was in the soap opera Secrets of Midland Heights (1980-1981).  Her first film role was in Tag: The Assassination Game (1982).  Hamilton’s first genre role was as Vicky in the horror movie, Children of the Corn (1984) based on the Stephen King story.  Her breakthrough part was playing Sarah Connor in The Terminator (1984).  Next, King Kong was under her care as Dr. Amy Franklin in King Kong Lives (1986).  Another role that was iconic was playing Catherine Chandler, taming another beast, in the form of Ron Perlman’s Vincent in Beauty and the Beast (1987-1989).  She returned as Sarah Connor, pumped up, to defend her son, John, in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).  Hamilton won a Saturn Award for her performance.  


She starred in the theme park attraction, Terminator 2 3-D: Battle Across Time (1996), which acts as a legitimate sequel IMO since it had the involvement of James Cameron and the original cast.  It closed in 2017 at Universal Studios Florida.  She voiced Susan Maguire in the “Chemistry” (1998) episode in The New Batman Adventures.  Hamilton then voiced Dr. Stephanie Lake in Batman Beyond’s episode, “Meltdown” (1999).  Next, she voiced Madame Lorraine in the animated DC Showcase: Jonah Hex (2010).  She played Mary Bartoski in the tv series Chuck (2010-2012).  On the SyFy series, Defiance (2014-2015), Hamilton played Pilar McCawley.  Next, she was in the supernatural show, Lost Girl (2013-2015).  She voiced Dr. Furbanna in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (2000-2018).  Hamilton returned as Sarah Conner in Terminator: Dark Fate (2019).  She is now playing General Eleanor Wright in the sci fi/comic book adaptation, Resident Alien!  Happy Birthday Linda Hamilton!
