Lovers of science fiction and spooky monsters are counting the days for the return of Stranger Things on Netflix next November 26. The fifth (and final) season of the series will feature a new addition with eighties reminiscences, actress Linda Hamilton (Maryland, United States, 69 years old), known for giving life to the legendary Sarah Connor in the saga. Terminator—which started in 1984— with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The performer, who regained some media prominence when it premiered in 2019 Terminator: Dark Fatethe umpteenth attempt to revitalize the franchise and in which she returned to the skin of Connor, now seems very far from an action character.
He spoke about this new role in the Duffer brothers’ fiction during an interview published this Friday in the British newspaper The Telegraph. She will give life to the controversial Doctor Kay, a woman with “secret plans” in the middle of Hawkins (the fictional town in which it is set). Stranger Things) in quarantine: “(She) has deeper personal desires, and that makes her interesting. And she’s ruthless, which was fun,” explains the actress.
In the interview, Hamilton reviews other aspects of her life, which were especially hard—her father died when she was five—and confusing: for years, she suffered from an undiagnosed bipolar disorder, which two decades ago, already identified, the actress spoke with total frankness, contributing to the understanding of the disease in society: “I literally did not have the good sense to keep quiet,” the actress confesses to the newspaper. “(But) I don’t like mystery, and if I can do something to help people who are struggling with their behaviors and looking for answers and changes, I know what it is. I know what it’s like to struggle for 20 years to understand it and still not be able to change my behaviors.”
He also explains that he continues to maintain celibacy, which he has practiced for two decades: “I try not to impose my beliefs on anyone, because I am a very particular person. But I am at my best, I am very happy and my life is full of everything: flora, fauna, babies, neighbors, trials, tribulations, pain…?” The actress assures that this pain “is part of life.” And he asks himself: “Why is pain worse than happiness? For me, everything is equally important. So, for me, it works, and I don’t regret going to bed alone at night. Well, with my two beautiful dogs, Gladys and Wilma; You have to touch and caress something, you know? But I have all the love in the world. Every day. And I am celibate.” Unwittingly, Hamilton thus joins the ranks of young women, Rosalía among the most famous, who currently declare themselves volcelthat is: voluntarily celibate.
Already in 2019 he acknowledged that he had not had any relationship for decades. “I’ve been celibate for at least 15 years. You lose count because it just doesn’t matter.” Before, she was married from 1997 to 1999 to film director James Cameron, who had chosen her for the role for which she would always be remembered, that of the waitress who flees from a ruthless robot (Schwarzenegger) in The Terminator (1984), and which she accepted because she had no other offers. “I was going to be an actress.” shakespearianbut everything changed with Terminator”, he said in an interview a few years ago.
They say that the filmmaker was so impressed by his casting that changed the age of the character from 19 to 27 years to fit the age of the actress at the time. Cameron’s film had an unexpected success. She landed another role in the television series Beauty and the beast (1987), a modern reinterpretation of the classic in a detective vein, produced and co-written by George RR Martin, and which she abandoned after becoming pregnant with her first husband, actor Bruce Abbott.
He boom definitive part of his career came in 1991, when the second part of Terminator —Terminator 2: Judgment Day—, for which Cameron wanted to count on her again. Hamilton set two conditions for accepting: recovering from her pregnancy and, on that occasion, Sarah Connor would go from damsel in distress to fierce fighter. It was during this filming that the romance between actress and director began, which became a tumultuous relationship and was blown up when the filmmaker met on the filming of Titanic to actress Suzy Amis—who plays Lizzy Calvert, Rose’s granddaughter—and fell in love with her, although, according to Hamilton, by then they were “taking a break.” After the affair with Amis, Cameron and Hamilton reconciled and married in 1997, although two years later the director returned to Amis and asked for a divorce. Years later, about her love story with Cameron, the actress went so far as to say that he “fell in love with Sarah Connor.”
