Linda Hamilton
Actress
“I replaced an actor who had a medical problem, so they came to me very last minute. They offered me that actor’s price. We didn’t even negotiate. They were in a pickle, so it was a lot of money to step in, with maybe 10 days notice and three hard days of work. I loved working with the dialect coach and I loved going into a terrifying job with mouthfuls and mouthfuls of stuff, more than I’ve said in my entire career and treating it like a piece of theatre and going in with my s— together and with everything memorised so I can just play with it, like it’s onstage.”

“I worked straight for three years, ’cause I was doing Resident Alien and Stranger Things the same year. And I sneaked in another film while I was doing Stranger Things, and then I had to go straight off and finish off Resident Alien, and I’m tired. Really, really tired. But retirement is a lot harder than working, it turns out.”
