EVERYTHING WE'VE COVERED WITH SIGOURNEY WEAVER

SIGOURNEY WEAVER
Born October 8, 1949 as Susan Alexandra Weaver in New York City, Susan was raised in a Show Biz family. Feted and pampered among wealth and position, her genes brought her nothing but ridicule in school - the great unequalizer. Susan was unusually tall for her age and was teased by classmates and shunned by teachers when she tried out for roles in school plays. Susan had her name changed to Sigourney, from a fictional character of the same name. Despite her pedigree, she struggled for parts until she proved herself in ALIEN. From then on she could play strong women roles.

Sigourney proved herself again in GHOSTBUSTERS. From then on she could play strong women who were also funny. Sigourney has found neither the need or desire, it seems, to pursue stardom and finds herself attracted to the stage at least as much as film, both of which appear to take a backseat to her family.
