Linda Hamilton Wanted to Do Shakespeare
“I was going to be a Shakespearean actress when I came out of the Strasberg studio in New York. And so I wasn’t as excited about The Terminator as my people were,” Hamilton told EW. Maybe I was a little snobby. I thought, ‘Oh, Arnold Schwarzenegger. I’m not sure about that.'”
But later, when she watched him work, she remembered thinking to herself: “Hmm, this might work.”
She added to EW: “There was something so utterly robotic and terrifying about him. I realized that we were doing something new here, and all of the sudden I believed.”
