the world's scariest Leading Men ladies and gentlemen here she is one of the stars of
Terminator 2 Linda Hamilton Olinda
[Applause]
you know it's uh it's very nice of you to be here and uh great to meet you I didn't
realize you were the Beauty and the Beast woman yeah the beauty the old beauty I call
myself how long was that show on the air uh two and a half years now did you get that
program [Laughter] you know what you know what I'm saying because some people like myself
I only saw it a couple of times and I just had the vague impression that it was a lovely
woman in New York who who had some kind of uh friendship with with like uh some kind
of big monkey that knew in the park or something I've worked with a lot of big monkeys but
now now for everyone like me there were millions and millions of people who just love this
who just couldn't get enough of this yeah that's pretty much it but I still don't get
it well no okay this is this is it here and I had no idea that this was you now this was
Ron Perlman right right yeah now what it just it outlined the story for me again on this
oh God it's such an old story um she falls in love with him when she can't see him obviously
she's injured and bandaged up well she's injured see now I didn't realize it again so she can't
see him so she falls in love with the being well he saves her life he saves her life bandages
her which is very important right and is he a very empathic relationship whenever she's
in trouble he comes and helps her right now and and could he fly
I was I'm just I'm just being Dopey that's all right I expect it but you got to huh what
um you uh people used to send you uh odd little items little uh yeah they still do what kind
of stuff do you get it's a very lyrical show so a lot of people that are very moved by
it sort of in love with the romance of it still send gifts you know I have about 199
Renditions of that picture by every artist you know imaginable people draw them people
draw them paint them reverse glass uh you know stitch them whatever I could pay for
a room with all the different Renditions I have of that photo but you know what's interesting
because television it just comes and goes I mean once it's over it just heads to the
ionosphere yeah but it's interesting that something like this would would have kind
of a meaning to people yeah took hold uh now let's uh let's talk about the uh working with
Arnold Schwarzenegger how was that uh fun both times yeah and he's uh do you have to
get in shape to work with this guy do you work out with him I did no I um I used his
gym a lot but I just sort of I worked out on my own before this right what do you do
in his gym I'm surprised showing my body uh um everything lift a lot of free weights presses
you know shoulder work legs you know kill myself every day that's what you have to do
now do you have to do this or is this something you're trying to do it was very much a part
of the um the character she's turned into a warrior since the last show and I just had
to get out there and do it yeah you want to see yeah
wow very very nice and could I show could I show you a little something [Applause] [Laughter]
this this is with steroids [Applause]
uh we were going to have triplets we have triplets we were going to have triplets you
got them we're gonna have them we got them no they're not here and and we uh it turns
out you're you're one of a set of twins yeah you have uh twin I have an identical twin
sister yeah and do you have a lot of twin stories growing up tricks you would play yeah
we did all the stuff that twins can do traded boyfriends you know people tell us apart by
our jewelry would trade in the bathroom and go back to different dates yeah she uh we
would trade classes every once in a while she tricked me into taking a math test for
her once and and they were a chapter ahead of us so I failed it I got my revenge um and
um but this is the kind of thing you hear all the time and it's pretty innocent harmless
stuff which I guess is as it should be uh did is she an actress as well no what's your
sister's name she lives in New Jersey Leslie Guerin a nurse in New Jersey well good for
her mother of three has she ever met your big time Showbiz Pals yeah she came out actually
in this movie there's a part it's so um extraordinary actually there's a part where there are two
Sarah Connors so I suggested to them that they use my sister instead of doing the process
work yeah yeah so she came out at Christmas time um a good story there Arnold I don't
think I had any idea that I had a twin sister so she arrives waiting out in the parking
lot I must have been on set she's waiting outside of my trailer and putting her suitcase
down and Arnold comes out of his room and spots her from behind goes for the sneak attack
and he comes up behind her and very sort of suggestively and repetitively hugged her from
behind if you understand what I mean she turns around very sweetly and says Hi I don't think
you have any idea that I'm going to handle these twin sister Leslie and he didn't get
it
[Applause] doesn't really matter should you leave equipment in my gym and she says no
everything I have is in this suitcase he says well where are you going she said I just told
you I came in from New Jersey and he starts to put it together that something is wrong
with his picture yeah and everyone that witnessed it said that it was pretty wonderful I I'd
like to explore if I could if we had the time more deeply this repetitive hugging you refer
to tomorrow night about the old uh some Austrian technique
ski patrol the old repetitive hugging um let's see now this thing it's it's out now and it's
it's uh it's like a huge hit again no it's not out when is it coming out July 3rd it's
a huge hit I think I must have been thinking of City Slickers
