On this day, January 16, 1982, King’s Crossing premiered on ABC. This family drama starred Linda Hamilton and explored the lives and struggles of the Bennett family in a small California town. Despite its heartfelt storylines and strong performances, the show only lasted for one season, producing a total of 10 episodes.

Linda Hamilton, who played Jillian Beauchamp, was already gaining recognition as a talented actress, and just two years later, she would achieve iconic status as Sarah Connor in The Terminator.

Fun Fact: Although short-lived, King’s Crossing was praised for its writing and character development, making it a favorite among fans of early 80s TV dramas.

Trivia Question: What year did Linda Hamilton first portray Sarah Connor in The Terminator, solidifying her place as an action film legend?
