Linda Hamilton

Destiny with Jim Belushi and Courteney Cox. Linda Hunt is the announcer for the KQED public radio lecture/interview show City Arts & Lectures. Her other movie credits include 1990's Mr. Beside her acting abilities, her two most distinguishing characteristics are her small stature (she is 4' 9" or 1.45 m), and her rich, resonant voice which she has used effectively in numerous documentaries, cartoons, and commercials. As she found that her performance as the ferocious resistance fighter in T2 had typecast her, she turned down a role in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Her movie debut was in the film Popeye. She has a twin sister Leslie who helped with a cameo in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Her best known roles are as the male half-Chinese dwarf Billy Kwan in the movie The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) (for which she won an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress) and as Judge Zoey Hiller on the television series The Practice.
