And while there are a ton of state-of-the-art visual effects pulled off with advanced computer technology one of the movie’s biggest tricks — the reflection of Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) — was pulled off in a more practical but equally clever way: Hamilton’s twin sister, Leslie.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is arguably the greatest summer blockbuster of all time and is filled with one iconic special effects shot after another.
Linda and Leslie Hamilton weren’t the only twins to appear in the 1991 blockbuster, as Dan and Don Stanton were used to pull off the scene in which T-1000 (Robert Patrick) replicates one of the orderlies in the mental hospital scene.
In an August 2020 EW article announcing Leslie Hamilton’s death, it was revealed the twin sister of the franchise’s star’s only film credit came when she appeared as the T-1000 impersonating Sarah Connor as well as in the scene in which the the hero is seen in a mirror working on the T-800.
