Linda Hamilton Online Website,
Why is it here and who is it for?

   First of all, why Linda Hamilton?

Linda is an actress with extreme versatility. Her performances over the years have thrilled and enticed all who have seen her. She has become well-known on an international level through some roles, while others have left viewers asking, "Who is that woman?" No matter the role, Linda's presence has been a major contributing factor to the outcome. Her very presence has drawn moviegoers and television viewers alike to watch whatever the project may be. She has been seen in countless films and in as many countries. She has a following of fans which numbers in the thousands, if not millions.

She is most widely known for her roles in movies The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and her television role in Beauty and the Beast. In each instance Linda pours all her talent and energy into her roles to assure that her characters are realistic and intriguing.
In The Terminator, Linda was a relatively unknown actress whose beauty, innocence and inner strength brought Sarah Connor to life. Years later she was asked to reprise her role as Sarah, but she felt it necessary to first undergo an intense regimen of exercise, body building and weapons training, in order to bring authenticity and credibility to the character. Again she didn't disappoint her public; she brought a stronger more determined Sarah to the screen.
On Beauty and the Beast, Linda played a complex woman who undergoes a personal metamorphosis. Her life, shaped by both the streets of New York City and the influence and wealth of her family, was transformed when fate led her to find a special relationship with a man whose life kept him below the city streets. Linda's character quickly developed into a strong-willed, determined woman who would let nothing stand between her and the love of her life, Vincent. When she left the show many viewers (including us) were very disappointed and upset. Her departure led to the show's eventual cancellation.

The roles above are only a small sampling of the brilliant work Linda Hamilton has contributed to both the "silver" and small screen for all to enjoy. In the past few years she has not only shown us her talent, but her humanitarian efforts as well. She has performed in roles as a single mother dying of AIDS, a tracker searching for a missing child while her own life was in turmoil, and most recently one of a 1940s housewife fighting for the right of her Black neighbors to live in her White neighborhood.

Linda Hamilton has brought life to many, many other characters which are not as widely known as the ones mentioned here. With the recent birth and now rapid growth of the Internet, many fans (old and new alike) are in search of additional information about these roles and about the talented woman who breathes life into each one.
For this reason, a group of dedicated fans have created the Linda Hamilton Online Website.
