At the age of 10, their mother was apart of a club called the "Multiple Births Association", or as Aaron likes to call it "The Multiple Rugrats" support group in Alberta, Canada where the twins were quickly discovered by a talent agent. It didn't take long for the problem of rejection to arise. The twins started out in commercials, sometimes by themselves and sometimes together. When they were 12, Aaron got an offer to be in a commercial, but he fell ill on that day, and Shawn went in his brother's place. Ever since then, Shawn's career has always been 1 step in front of his brother's. Since high school, when they were routinely mixed up with one another, their talents have become a lot less identical. They have been offered different roles to play, and they are looking a lot less identical now that they are growing older. Aaron is now more sturdily built with a broader face and broad shoulders. He stands 6'0" which is an inch taller than Shawn who is 5'11". To that Shawn says, "It's shoes and hair." Aaron lives in Toronto where he shares an apartment with Shawn..

Linda went to Wicomico Junior High, Salisbury, Maryland, with her identical-twin sister, Leslie Hamilton Gearren.

She reprised her Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) character, Sarah Connor, for the theme-park attraction T2 3-D: Battle Across Time (1996), a short film shot in a new 3-D process that makes the film appear to jump out at you.

While Hamilton was attending Washington College, the acting professor told her that she had no hope of earning a living as an actress.

After her role in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), she learned that she made such an impression as the pumped and ferociously tough Sarah Connor that she was typecast into being offered only roles for similarly tough characters.

Turned down a chance to reprise the role of Sarah Connor in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003).

Her identical twin sister Leslie Hamilton Gearren was Linda's double in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). Leslie is seen when Sarah is remembering playing with John at the park and when the T-1000 is impersonating her.

Sprained her ankle prior to filming the original The Terminator (1984) and it never quite healed right due to all the running she had to do in the film.

She divorced second husband James Cameron after discovering he was having an affair with actress Suzy Amis during the making of the movie Titanic (1997). Her divorce from him was the second-most expensive divorce next to that of Steven Spielberg and Amy Irving. Hamilton stood to take half of Cameron's earnings - close to $50 million.

Auditioned for the role of Capt. Kathryn Janeway on "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995).

Good friends with former "Beauty and the Beast" (1987) co-star Ron Perlman. They reunited in the theater play Love Letters (1990), and in the post-Vietnam war drama Missing in America (2005).

Appeared on television and revealed that she suffered from bipolar disorder. She said that her condition had destroyed her marriage to her first husband, Bruce Abbott, abusing him verbally and physically, and that it also had ruined her marriage to second husband James Cameron. Linda said that it was her love for her two children that finally forced her to seek treatment, and she began taking medication. That was 10 years ago, and Linda says that she will always be grateful that she chose treatment and regrets the pain that her illness caused those she loves.

In the original screenplay of The Terminator (1984), the character she played, Sarah Connor, was 19 years old. It was the decision of James Cameron to make the character somewhat older to fit into Hamilton's age. In real life, Linda was 27 when filming started and turned 28 before the film was released.

Talked about 20 years of treatment for being bipolar on the October 14, 2005, show of "Larry King Live" (1985).
