Sarah Connor is the person you need to call if you feel that the future of humanity is being threatened. Screw John Connor, he's a putz. Sarah's the real ass-kicker in the family. She has been presented as both a waitress and a freedom fighter in the Terminator multimedia franchise, as first brought to life by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd in the 1984 sci-fi/action classic The Terminator. Played by actress Linda Hamilton, also appeared in the film's 1991 mega-smash sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. A reference in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines establishes that Sarah Connor had died of cancer in between the two films, but no worries. Thanks to the convenience of time travel, Sarah lived again in the form of actress Lena Headey in the FOX Network spin-off series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. A younger version of the character was re-imagined for the 2015 feature film, Terminator: Genisys, where she was now played by actress Emilia Clarke.

Overview[]

The character of Sarah Connor was created by director James Cameron and writers William Wisher, Jr. and Gale Anne Hurd.

Sarah Connor's FBI file from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles mis-spelled her last name as Conner.

Linda Hamilton's twin sister, Leslie Hamilton, played the T-1000 version duplicate of Sarah in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

In 1999, Sarah Connor was engaged to marry Charley Dixon. She abandoned the relationship after suffering an intense dream of seeing the world destroyed by Terminators. Worst. Girlfriend. Ever.

By the time she time-jumped from 1999 to 2007, Sarah Connor had held twenty-three jobs and gone through three aliases. She was also fluent in four languages, Spanish being the primary among them (well okay, English was her primary language, but you get the point). ^[7]

One of Sarah Connor's aliases is Sarah Baum. The name is taken from author L. Frank Baum, who wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was published in 1900. Sarah also took to referring to Cameron Phillips as "Tin Man", who is a character featured in the story. ^[8]
