Notes
Added by NooBiBoy- Linda has an identical twin sister, Leslie, who appeared briefly in Terminator 2: Judgment Day as the T-1000, who was imitating Sarah Connor in the factory. She also played a brief cameo as a younger Sarah Connor in her apocalyptic dream.
- Leslie also appeared in the scene at the garage when Sarah and John changed the Terminator's CPU chip from read-only to read/write 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. A much extended version of this scene is featured in the special edition of the Terminator 2: Judgment Day DVD.
- Dalton Abbott, who played infant John Connor in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, is Linda Hamilton's son.
- Linda uttered the famous line from the Terminator franchise, "Come with me if you want to live", in the television series Chuck episode "Chuck Versus the Leftovers".
