Linda Hamilton Talks Marriage To James Cameron!
Terminator star Linda Hamilton hasn't been seen in quite some time, but now that her ex husband's film, Avatar, is nominated for 11 Oscars, she's decided to dish on her life with James Cameron.
And we've never heard anyone so bitter! Or two people so insane!
Here are some HIGHlights:
On the women he wants:
"The woman he can't get is always his dream girl. Work and women go hand in hand for Jimbo, and I should know."On leaving Hamilton for actress Suzy Amis:
"It's interesting because while he was making Titanic, Suzy at that time was the gargoyle on the end of my bed, waiting to swoop in. Now I'm the gargoyle on her bed because for Jim, the one who doesn't end up with him is always the one he wants. I'm the one who got away, and she has to live with that."On her most difficult times:
"Titanic was the most painful thing in the world. But this wasn't because Jim was cheating on me. Jim went off with Suzy because we were taking a break from each other and he was free to go with her. It was a painful time because we'd had a relationship where I'd push him away, then he'd push me away. Frankly, most of our relationship was us taking a big break. It was a crazy time, too, because we clashed as I was prepared to stand up to him. I'd say: 'I'm never going to consider going back with you, plus I'm going to tell my friends all about you.”On changing her mind:
"Then when he got together with Suzy I changed my mind and he came back to me and we got married. Then he felt terrible about what he'd done to her and went back to her. Yes, there was a period when he did sort of cross over because he was confused."On being the loser:
"One does want to win, of course, but I've known for many years that this was the very best way to work it. I'm the one that got away and she has to live with that and share him with me. But she doesn't have the option of not having me in her life, so we all have to manage."On their time together:
"It had been a fraught relationship because we were both pretty strong personalities. I loved him unconditionally, though, because he's a brilliant and talented man. I had no problem understanding Jim's mind. We were two of a kind. It was the intellect and humour which got us going - we were zinging off each other's brain power all the time. He loved my quickness and toughness. But that doesn't make a marriage, so we related to each other in some very theoretical way. But in terms of living a life together, no way."On Cameron controlling their home:
"I am a designer, I love the home, but Jim wouldn't let me have any freedom to do anything. He would come home with things he'd insist on having. Then he banned a close male friend of mine from staying. But in those days Jimbo would even put his own family up in a hotel - that's just Jim. I threw all his things out of the door more times than I can remember. He never threw things back at me, but he would storm off and, even worse, have his assistant collect his things for him and move them out. Ouch! That hurt. Then he'd move back and it'd all happen again. I've lost count of how many times his gymnasium was moved in and out of our house. It got to the stage where I said: "Let me at least keep your gym because this is really getting expensive."On having kids:
"There was just more for us to war about. We had very different parenting styles. Actually, he's a fabulous dad, he's extremely hands-on, as you might imagine, but this might be considered to be a little smothering and you'd have to be a strong child to cope with that. Our daughter has grown so incredibly strong. That said, she adores him like a daughter loves her daddy and there's not one complaint. But in those days Jim would go away for three years to do a movie then come back and treat her like a one-year-old and think she was going to be stolen in the playground. Meanwhile, Josephine and I had our rules and knew how things worked. He argued over that, of course. He used to say to me: 'Anybody can be a father or a husband. There are only five people in the world who can do what I do, and I'm going for that.'"
He's been married FIVE times! We're not surprised, although, those two sound like they were made for each other!

Mary Hart Misses The Movie Stars!
We're Gonna Call It The iSnack
"I'm the one who got away"
nooooo, you're the one he left for some other chick.
Hmm, strange. I know I read somewhere some time ago that Linda Hamilton was bi-polar, and it can be very difficult living with people who are afflicted with this, especially if they don't take their meds. So maybe that was a problem with them.
i guess it's simply that Hate bonds people together as much as love does
Classic triangle.
Re: Heatherem – That's what i was thinking.. This woman is a utter nutter!!
She could have said it all in just one sentence:
"CAMERON IS AN ASSHOLE."
The author Orson Scott Card called him selfish and cruel.
Kate Winslet will never work with him again unless she gets paid lots of $$.
Talk about honesty:)!!!!!!LMAO She's told it like it is and was fair and thank God they're not together. Think about it. How many relationships are like this and you don't hear about it. Imagine if Brangelina decided to dish Truth, I know impossible, but all the same, it would be too good to hear how they REALLY are. This is why I Love the Truth. It's Amazing and outdoes fiction every time. God Bless you Linda.
Sounds like he always wants what he can't have. Typical.
Why would a parent leave the home for two or three years to make a film and return later to pick up the pieces? This is all so screwed up! Jim Cameron may be talented and currently the richest director, but it appears that his personal life is so screwed up ! Life is all about balance.
James Cameron is a narcissistic prick and she sounds crazy.
What is the point of this belated over-sharing? The last-gasp opportunity for some attention due to Avatar's popularity? I'm sure he's impossible to live with, but this is just sad.
Ew he's fuckin ugly and the only reason he has women is because of his $$$$$.
Now THIS, Perez? THIS is good gossip! I love shit like this!
James Cameron is ugly as hell. Imagine if he had the looks of Warren Beatty, all those women fighting over him would make sense. Under the circumstances, we have to agree that those women are only after his money. I hope he knows that and doesn't believe those gold-diggers are after him for his hot looks, LOL ! What money can do, aren't those women ashamed of themselves ? Five marriages for he king of the world !!!!!!! How many affairs on the side ? More than Tiger Woods probably.
OMG. I love Linda Hamilton but reading this interview, she really sounds nuts. Over and over again, she keeps on saying "I am the one who got away?". She better move on.
I don't think she sounds that crazy, actually. He's the five time loser, I think he must be impossible to live with.
Has Linda already gone through that $50 Million Dollar divorce settlement…Poor thing…Life is so hard…
avatar is nominated for 9 oscars not 11…try to research better…
Why I have a cat.
I don't necessarily think it's because of the Oscar. Avatar won't win for Best Picture. Awesome graphics, terrible storyline. And Titanic did win, and she didn't say anything then.
i don't understand this at all. is she saying they still get together?!
That must've been so hard with the Suzy situation. My heart goes out to her. But sounds the newer relationship is less volatile. Linda let us see you in more movies!
NINE oscar nominations. not 11. christ get a fact checker
In some strange way they sound like their meant to be together. Hey that Avatar guy was in Dodge Ball. Lol sorry its on and I just realized. I thought The Hottie and The Nottie was his first movie. Lol
When she was in that TV series Beauty and the Beast with Ron Perlman, I could never figure out which one was which, and so, now I know.
They don't sound insane, Mario, but more like two intelligent people who for whatever reason pushed each other's buttons. You can really love someone, but just not be able to live with them at a given point in time. I also don't get 'bitter' from this, but more of a realistic pragmatism that states how it was for her. Many ambitious men are always looking for the greener grass, and it can prevent them from appreciating the very green grass they're sitting in already.
your such an idiot Mario its 9 nominations not 11
NOT SURPRISING, CHECK CAMERON DICK'S WIKI PAGE… NOT JUST FEMALES BUT MALES HAVE BITCHED ABOUT HIM. WOW, SUCKS TO BE HIM. HIS WHOLE WIKI PAGE IS HALF COMPLAINTS. WOW!!!!!
She is bitter…she needs to get over it .
Sarah Conner…Terminator I & II = a free pass FOREVER
What non-news…. this site really sucks!
wacka wacka doo doo…she needs more than meds That was a bi-polar rant for sure!
They must have THE most fucked up kids!!!
she got very wrinkly…suzy is no beauty queen…but she is less
wrinkly
he is the biggest dick head asshole on the planet. She is wasting her oxygen even mentioning him. He's probably at home jacking off because people are talking about him. He's so boring and unimportant. Big effing deal. He makes movies. What are these two women sweatin over him for anyway?
Re: obama – Hindsight is 20/20, but they were already involved?
do do dod dood doododoo
them from twilight zone
As much as I cannot stand James Cameron, Linda Hamiliton seems just as much of an asshole. Arrogant, self-absorbed and DELUSIONAL. The one who got away? Seriously? he left you for another woman, Linda. Sounds like she wants to get in on the publicity while the iron is hot. Pathetic, really.
I think she could have condensed those 50,000 words to:
…."I was married to a man who cheated on me with another woman. Then he married her and cheated again. But nahh, I ain't bitter."
What a windbag.
Re: Brainiac – Exactly what I was thinking!
i hope that her time alone helps her build her self love so that no man can treat her like this again. i guess it comes back to your happiness comes from within. linda, you do not need this man to let you know how awesome you really are. terminator inspired so many women to train harder, a true inspiration.
take his gym and make yourself the most stunning, hot looking piece of arse you can. a bonus is, it will see just what he's missed out on! as sad as it sounds, and i know noone wants to hear it, but if he does this, he's just not the one for you. i have been there. even in the happiest of times, there is always that other person hiding in the back of your mind. noone wants or deserves that.
best of wishes to you, a wonderful, talented lady.
and perez,
talk to your therapist about learning about true human emotions. you have no idea.
I remember Linda Hamilton on the Red Carpet at the Oscars when James Cameron won for Titanic. An interviewer asked her if she thought he would change if he won, and she said, "No, he always has been an asshole". The interviewer looked shocked and they cut away from her. I only heard it once and could never find a reference to it again.
She sounds extremely arrogant.
I think they're both awesome,so I'll just read everyone else's opinions.
hey retard, its nominated for 9 oscars, not 11..
seriously, get our facts straight dude
Brilliant, creative people are not sane. That is how they are able to see and do what is not easy and what is not obvious.
