Linda Hamilton’s twin sister Leslie Hamilton Freas has died aged 63.
Leslie ‘passed away unexpectedly’ on August 22 in New Jersey, with her cause of death yet to be publicly confirmed.
Leslie, who had been living in Mount Laurel for 35 years, had worked as an ER nurse before becoming a hospice nurse later in her career.
However, she also featured on the big screen in 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day, in which she served as a double for her sister Linda, to played Sarah Connor in the action film.
Leslie also portrayed her sister’s reflection in the mirror in one scene.
An obituary published by the Burlington County Times read: ‘Leslie was the consummate caretaker, and devoted her life to helping her children and the lives of others. She was an avid fisherwoman through the years, and was not shy about out-fishing anyone who joined her.
‘Above all, she cherished the time spent with her family and friends, and will be deeply missed by those she leaves behind.’
Visitation was held at a local funeral home on Saturday, with Leslie’s family asking for donations to be made to the Samaritan Hospice.
Leslie is survived by her three children Ashley, Adam and Kendall, grandchildren Luna Bo and Ollie, twin Linda and her other siblings Laura, Ford and stepbrother Jeffrey.
Linda is best known for playing Sarah Connor in 1984’s The Terminator and its 1991 sequel, and returned to play the iconic character in the 2019 film Terminator: Dark Fate.
Despite generally positive reviews, the movie was a box office bomb, and it seems that Linda is done with the franchise.
She told the Hollywood Reporter: ‘I would really appreciate maybe a smaller version, where so many millions are not at stake. Today’s audience is just so unpredictable.
‘I can’t tell you how many laymen just go, “Well, people don’t go to the movies anymore”. It should definitely not be such a high-risk financial venture, but I would be quite happy to never return. So no, I am not hopeful, because I would really love to be done.’
