‘I sort of had an existential crisis’: Linda Hamilton's return to the ‘Terminator’ film franchise after 28 years - this time, as star - prompted some soul searching
LOS ANGELES - Linda Hamilton set a new standard for female action heroes more than 30 years ago, but her return to the “Terminator” movie franchise prompted more than a little soul searching.
“I sort of had an existential crisis at the beginning of the film when I showed up and felt like ‘uh-oh,’” said Hamilton. Set two decades after Hamilton played Sarah Connor as a muscular mother battling futuristic cyborgs to save her teenage son in 1991 film “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” the new movie sees her teaming up with an enhanced human to save a Mexican factory worker from a terminator from the future.
“That’s just an actress playing a part and it’s an accident of timing. It’s not that I didn’t do good work. It was that the world was ready to receive it too. So, I try to stay very, very balanced about it and never think of myself as an icon or having a legacy,” she said.So balanced that Hamilton said she was looking forward to returning to what she called her “invisible” life at home in New Orleans.
