Linda Hamilton also had an identical twin sister (she passed away this august unexpectedly). She was Linda's body double in T2 in the apocalyptic playground dream sequence (that's her on the playground playing with baby John) and in the scenes where T-1000 imitates Sarah.

yeah i was shocked. they haven't reveled the cause of death, only that it was unexpected so it might have been covid since she worked as a nurse. poor linda, i can't even begin to imagine what it must be like loosing a twin.

my aunt lost her twin to complications from alcoholism this year. they're only 44 (my mom is the eldest sibling, they are the youngest). she was also his primary caregiver so she found him. it's been really awful.

if anyone knows of any twin specific support groups in SoCal, please let me know (let me google real quick while it's on my mind)...

Are there twin posts because of the twin theme? If so, very fun! I knew of pair of twins and one said he could feel the pain of the other, even when they were apart.

"-Laverne Cox's twin brother appeared on "Orange is the New Black" as her charecter before they transitioned."

-before SHE transitioned, Laverne is transgender identified (as was her character in the show), her brother is not, for those who weren't sure. :)

She's done some interviews about this and about it being a very different ask of her than if the show would have needed her to be on camera appearing to be male. Very interesting read!
