Linda Hamilton, the actress who immortalized Sarah Connor in Terminator, is 69 years old and has a conviction rarely heard in Hollywood: she does not spend a single minute trying to look younger.
She said it plainly in a recent interview. While the industry pushes women to hide every passing year, she decided to show them all. This face, she says, is the one she has earned over time, and she has no intention of changing it for any earlier version of herself.
There is an anecdote that explains where that peace comes from. When her daughter was little, she told her that her mom was beautiful because her face was full of joy. From that moment on, Linda stopped working on her face and started working on that joy. The result shows every time she smiles in front of a camera.
