Linda Hamilton
American Actress
Linda was Catherine, the soft and beautiful woman with the big brown eyes who bonded with the lion-like beast, Vincent, and his subterranean New York underworld.
“Beauty's” storyline centered around Catherine, a corporate attorney turned assistant district attorney, and her relationship with Vincent during this fantasy show's three-season run. Catherine was abducted and beaten but was rescued by the Beast, an extremely large man who had lion-like facial features and claws for fingers. Vincent roamed the city streets at night, wearing a hood to hide his appearance from strangers.
“It was a wacky show, even for the 1980s. I loved so many elements of it but didn't deal well with the formula of doing the same thing every week,” Linda said. “I loved it but it also made me terribly unhappy.”
"Beauty" aired for three seasons (1987-90), 56 episodes. Never a huge hit with the masses , the show was critically acclaimed. TV guide ranked "Beauty" as No. 14 on its Top Cult Shows Ever list. “'The Beast' was very definitive for me because it was several years of my life and [was] really hard,” she said in an interview with www.denofgeeks.com. “Fifteen hours a day... [for] nine months and when you're off you just want to lie down for three months.
“But to be in the bosom of the TV show of a family is really something else. When you're working together for two years you remember something like the Thai soup that you all shared because you shared the same cold coming on.”
Linda's most notable acting role, though, was in cinema, as Sarah Connor in the two science fiction action films, “Terminator” (1984) and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” (1991). Her character has been called “the greatest kick-ass heroine in all of action cinema.”
