Linda Hamilton's first big break came in 1984 as Sarah Connor in James Cameron's The Terminator. From 1987 to 1989 she earned Emmy, Golden Globe, and People's Choice Award nominations and received a Saturn and a Romy Award as Catherine Chandler in TV's Beauty and the Beast Beauty and the Beast is a traditional fairy tale (type 425C -- search for a lost husband -- in the Aarne-Thompson classification). The first published version of the fairy tale was a meandering rendition by Madame Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, published in .

In March 1990 Linda reprised her role as Sarah Connor in Terminator 2- Judgment Day where she went from a 40 pound pregnancy gain to all muscle and 14 percent body fat. For this she received MTV MTV

Stephan Paternot, in his second starring role, has a slightly more roundabout story about breaking into showbiz.

In a single day, his personal worth zoomed to almost $100 million, but eventually the bottom dropped out. In the sequel, Paternot is still going strong, forging his second career as an author. Leaving both his company and his paper millions behind, he picked himself up, dusted himself off and chronicled his wild ride in "A Very Public Offering: A Rebel's Story of Business Excess, Success and Reckoning".

It may be unusual that Paternot is an ex-CEO pursuing his dream of being an actor but there's no question, he's taking a sturdy path - the last couple years, he's knuckled down and taken intense acting lessons with film and television actor Neal Lerner.
