Notes[]
- An 8 year old Paxton was in the crowd waving when President Kennedy emerged from the Hotel Texas in Ft. Worth the morning of Nov. 22, 1963. There are pictures at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas where the young Paxton can clearly be seen astride the shoulders of an unidentified man.[1]
- Bill was also the only actor to have been killed by a Terminator (if taken the novelization into account), an Alien, and a Predator. Contrary to popular belief, Lance Henriksen does not qualify because his character Bishop in the Alien franchise does not really get killed by an Xenomorph.
- In "The Programming of Fate", there is a soldier named Paxton at present when the T-800 is being sent to the past via Time Displacement Equipment. Apparently, the soldier was named after Bill Paxton.
