Trivia
- Linda has an identical twin sister, Leslie, who appeared briefly in Terminator 2: Judgment Day in the foundry scene, where the T-1000 was imitating Sarah Connor.
- Leslie also appeared in the scene at the garage when Sarah and John changed the Terminators chip from read-only so that he could learn new skills. The mirror was in fact straight through to another set (reversed) where Linda was on one side and Leslie on the other. Arnold was on the mirrored side and a Terminator dummy the other. If you have the special edition DVD, you can see a much extended version of this scene.
