Would anyone else give their right arm for it to fade to black when he says let's fade to black? I thought it was an editing mistake the first time but now wondering if I've misunderstood the meaning of the phrase my whole life... great vids anyway!

She had a great role in the comedy series Resident Alien, season 4 I think.

Love her in whatever she is in but I think the straight person to Alan Tudeks crazy Harry Vanderspigle made a highly enjoyable show even better!
@carolvanaria600Yeah so long story short she got 50M in the divorce plus what she made from the Terminator franchise and duece'd out due to bi-polar...
@5ickBreeDterminator dark fate is so frustrating
@ganglabeshShe's in the last season of Stranger Things. A main character.. DOH! Could have saved you hours of work.. but wouldn't have paid well. Oh well.
@PoolSquirrelLinda Hamilton was so Pretty!
@markduncan6690While I've enjoyed watching her act, especially the surprise of seeing her in, Stranger Things, what matters most, is that she's happy & well.
@Mellie_HDidn't you watch Resident Alien? She was fabulous in it, and looked like she was having a blast. 🙂
@robtyrrell6832Linda Hamilton is the first woman I ever saw that was toned and shredded. She inspired me to get my arms as toned as hers. And at 44 I have to say I am proud of myself, all thanks to a woman who wasn't waiting for a man to save her; she was perfectly capable of saving herself. ❤
@crystal_murray1981Oh crap..I caught the straight clavicles….wow
@Julie-h4j7yGender invert alert?
@timothynicholas2127She got older! She's in Stranger Things Season 5
@marshabass7792She was absolutely dreadful in Stranger Things, unfortunately. It wasn't all her fault, the character was poorly written(the whole thing was poorly written), but her acting didn't help. Hope she doesn't end her career on this performance.
@luiznogueira1579❤❤❤❤
@LivingTheDream-00Love the Channel. 👏
@oculoscaecosWhat a wonderful video. Thank you!
@ItsCithI thought that was Mick Jagger
@paulaponte1309She's a beautiful lady. And has nothing to prove to anyone. I love that she's living life on her own terms. Thank you, Miss Hamilton. God bless you. And Godspeed live well. The older I get, the less I value material things. The only thing that matters and counts is the connections we make. And the memories we leave. No one could ever hear her character. Because no one has that silent strength like her. And that's what made whatever role she played memorable. A rare gift that certain actors have. It can't be taught. Or faked. Thank you, Linda Hamilton, for the memories.
@MyDailyViewPointsShe did what dave Chapelle did. She bounced ...
@alexrocio7627She hit the jackpot. James Cameron
@DonSmallHandTrumpShe created an iconic character for all of us. I remember gasping in the theater when I saw those pull-ups. Lots of men want Brad Pitt's Fight Club body. Women want Lina Hamilton's T2 body.
@iamvoxo9550She did a good job in Stranger Things.
@billmarshall2536Lynda Carter. Grace Jones. Sigourney Weaver. Linda Hamilton. Four of my Hollywood Role Models growing up, and AS a Woman, a USMC Veteran, I still love/adore/respect them! They proved there could be a meaningful, believable 'Strong Woman' character in a movie/story that you could respect and support! Not 'Perfect,' maybe, but believable (Or at least in the case of 'Wonder Woman,' something a young girl could become a fan of!).
@AniwayasSongToo bad LInda Hamilton is a smoker.
@Musashi_Yojimbo@14:14 Did Leslie Hamilton succumb to C19?
@Musashi_YojimboShe turned 50 and as a society we gave all bad ass female roles to michelle Rodriguez. Unfortunately we really dont have a decent back up after that
@K37-h1zWell she got a lot of money in her divorce.
@NathanBrooks-x1cI had no idea she had a twin, thank you for sharing this gem of personal info, one of my most relatable & favorite actresses 😎
@KalolawahineChildren of the Corn was pre-Terminator, not post-Terminator.
@goingback40Stranger Things have happened to her.
@gomiwomiWell I suppose she grew old, like we all did. DUH!?
