Linda Hamilton's Height
5ft 4 ½ (163.8 cm)
Peak height was 5ft 5 (165.1 cm)
American actress best known for playing Sarah Connor in the Terminator films and for starring in TV series Beauty and the Beast. A 1991 newspaper mentioned "At 5-foot-5½ weighs in at 112." In these convention photos I'm wearing Converse thin, whilst Linda is in a boot that gave her a footwear advantage of at least 0.75 inches over me.

💐💝🎂🎊 Happy Birthday Linda! 🎊🎂💝💐
Many Happy Returns to Linda on her 65th Birthday and a joyful and healthy year ahead. If I'd had to hazard a guess as to Linda's age from when I saw her guesting on the Matthew Wright show a few years back, I'd have reckoned on 20 years younger.
@ Bobby - I, too, thought she was 5ft6 from seeing her in Terminator 2, which I saw before the first one, and to this day, reckon it's a better watch, though the first one is still excellent.
⭐ Linda was actually married to James Cameron from 1997-1999.
5ft5.25 peak; 5ft4.5 today.

Wow, she's actually shorter than I imagined she was. I thought she'd have been nearer 5'6 peak height based on her role as Sarah Connor in Terminator.
Are you a big fan of Terminator, Rob? I really liked the first three that I saw.

Editor RobYeah, T1, then T2 are great, the rest vary in quality.
Must have watched the first two a dozen times over the years.

Sadly Linda Hamilton's identical twin sister, Leslie, passed away on the 22nd August, just over one month before celebrating her 64th Birthday.
Many condolences to Linda and the other members of their family.
RIP Leslie Hamilton Gearren 🕯️💐

🎉💐🎂🎁 Happy Birthday Linda! 🎁🎂💐🎉
Wishing Linda, and her identical twin, a very Happy 63rd Birthday! Her energy and zest in 'Terminator 2' made me want to jump out of bed and go for a run the first time I saw it, and it was late at night! It's my favourite of the 'Terminator' films.
Peak - 5ft5

A number of celeb sites have Linda Hamilton listed as 5’6”, but she never looked that tall to me. She has a compact frame in spite of how thin she’s always been. Standing next to the 6’1” Ron Perlman, Hamilton looked about 5’4” (tops) in the 1980s series ‘Beauty and the Beast.” I was surprised to learn that Perlman was only 6’1” given how tall he looks on screen, particularly as the Beast, and later as Hellboy.

I saw 'Terminator 2' before I saw the first one and it was Linda's character that I found the most inspiring! I saw the film late at night and I felt really energetic afterwards thanks to her! What a heroine she was in that film, and to keep fit like that in a poxy little cell-like room was truly something else! AND she was quick mentally!
I didn't blame Matthew Wright when he got all starstruck to have her on his morning show some months back!

Always thought she was 5'6 but she's almost 60 now so 5'5 is more accurate. She's probably the most memorable human character in the Terminator franchise at least to me.

maybe only 5'5", but in her day she was one hell of a lady. So fit and strong. at only 112 lbs she would have given a lot of taller, bigger women a run for their money

Glenn stop saying you tower over people..how can a 5 foot 7 tower over a 5 foot 5? 2 inches taller than someone doesn't mean you tower over them

glenn do you have the scan from 1991? I think she aged not too badly, she must be over 50? now. Possibly 5'6 in her 20s; she looked 6" shorter than Michael Bien back in 1984 (Terminator), and he's 6ft.
