The twin sister of Terminator star Linda Hamilton has died ‘unexpectedly’, aged 63.
LESLIE Hamilton Freas, who appeared as a stunt double for her sister in the 1991 hit Terminator 2: Judgement Day, passed away on August 22.
As yet, a cause of the death has not been given.
Freas’ worked as an emergency room and a hospice nurse.
Her obituary in the Burlington County Times, described her as the ‘consummate caretaker’ who ‘devoted her life to helping her children and the lives of others’.
“She was an avid fisher woman through the years, and was not shy about out-fishing anyone who joined her.
“Above all, she cherished the time spent with her family and friends, and will be deeply missed by those she leaves behind,” it read.
