Sigourney Weaver on her unpredictable career 

She should have already won an Academy Award

Love her! Boy aging gracefully, and looks beautiful for 72 years old!

Low key, one of cinema's greatest icons.

Sigourney is one of a kind. She brings such energy to the screen, since Alien and many more!

I love her humility at the end with Jane’s compliment. ❤

I love her versatility as an actress. I love all of Sigourney Weaver's performances.

I will always love her. That scene in Aliens where she 'communicates' with the Queen is one of the greatest scenes in a film. She should've won that Oscar.

I just adore Sigourney Weaver!

Sigourney was at Yale studying acting with Meryl Streep. A fellow student stated that Meryl was lauded by teachers and Sigourney was constantly put down.. I’m glad Sigourney stuck in there and found success.

She is an absolute class act. I just love who she is. A non nonsense sensibility in the best way. Unbelievable she is 73. Such vitality and interest in creation. You are an inspiration Sigourney 💜

'A year of living dangerously'. I can't believe this interview didn't bring this up. It made her as a star.

Sigourney Weaver is an amazing actress! She can bring the scary and then turn around and bring the funny. She made me scream with laughter in "Heartbreakers" and my favorite of ALL TIME "Galaxy Quest"🍿🎬📽️

I love her so much! She is an icon and national treasure.

Her portrayal of Diane Fossey in Gorillas In The Mist was really doing God's work as an actress (and Alien probably the future of space work, low wage workers facing whatever terrors corporations pit them against). A legendary career. The great Sigourney.

One of my favorite actresses, who continues to work steadily in a variety of genres. She's selective about the roles she chooses based on the story, which has served her well as she isn't defined by any particular genre. Whether on screen in dramatic, action or comedic performances or narrating a docu-series, it always feels like Sigourney Weaver provides an "intelligent", thoughtful performance.

Weavers portrayal of the vapid ,using boss in working girl with Melanie Griffith was iconic . Yes it was a comedy , but she phrased her commands “Tess” perfectly. We just hated her character - such a good actress.

Just thinking , Sigourney has literally been in 4 or 5 of some of the best movies of all time . What a great legacy as well as cementing herself in history for many , many years to come . The Alien movies , Ghostbusters and also Avatar will still be watched many decades from now . She became a great actor during the prime time of Hollywood which was the mid 70's through the 80's which had the best movies .

Just a class act. And that voice...so distinctive!

She is such a great actress, the biggest star of the cinema of the last half century. Who compares? Nobody else has been so iconic, so big on the screen.

She is Exceptional. Beautiful & Very Talented. I don't know why she hasn't won an Oscar by now.

72? really? I am shocked by that one. I thought she was my age 61. She is so multi functional and multi faceted ....she sure ages well! Fabulous Actress.

Sigourny is so awesome! She looks absolutely amazing!

She ages like fine wine. Bless her with health and strength amazing actress.

An incredible combination of beauty, intelligence, compassion, and strength. Many actresses have one, two or even three of these traits, but very few have all four. A truly amazing lady.

I love Sigourney Weaver. She is such an amazing actor

She's worked in every single genre of film. An underappreciated gem.

I love this woman and her being true to herself and not letting past negative experiences shape her. Aliens is one of my all time favorite movies💪🥰

This was a great interview by Jane Pauley! And may I say, Jane still looks stunning at 71! omg I still remember when they had Deborah Norville replace Ms. Pauley on the Today show, back in 1989 - I was so upset. Sexism due to age was even more rampant back then. My God, Jane was ONLY 38! Ms. Pauley is still a great newscaster and interviewer. CBS Sunday Morning, hold onto her!

Deserves multiple Oscar’s for multiple amazing performances and she’s also a badass

I always liked in her interviews how she always stayed true to herself even if it meant she was not always well received by her peers and professors. While everyone was ogling Meryl Streep at Yale, Sigourney Weaver was knee-deep in experimental theater and avant-garde with her other weird classmates down the hall. I've always admired her authenticity.

One of my all-time favourites. She broke my heart in Prayers For Bobby.

She’s such an incredible actress. Hope she gets her Oscar soon. Legend

Pick the story not the role. I love that

She's had a great career, but I think she was really under rated in Galaxy Quest. I thought she was hilarious in that film.

Love Sigourney. Hadn’t realized she’s in her 70s 👏🏼💕.

I love this. Thank you for focusing on this unique and genuine human being. Sigourney Weaver has had my attention since the first time I saw her in Ghostbusters. I was a six foot tall nerd about to enter Middle school, and had already experienced the kind of cruel bullying many kids flung around like piñata candy. Seeing her confidence and kindness and humor, and those long legs stretching luxuriously from that red dress gave me a dash of confidence too. It took years for me to grow into and expand that first inkling she gave me that my unusual height, so ridiculed and mocked, actually meant potential for gravitas and a different kind of allure than most “beautiful women.” The legs helped, but more than that is the consistent spark of that brilliant brain, and the feeling whenever I see her, that she’s gonna figure this out, whatever it is. She’s the one to watch. Her role in Avatar for me was the true heart of the movie. And the movie I still will watch whenever I see it on, Dave, is a gem. So excited to anticipate the new movie with Kevin Kline. I really can’t think of a duo I would be more thrilled to see play leads opposite one another again. An amazing, true and good human. A tall woman. A still relevant role model I will always think of that way. And those legs❤. Thank you. This made my day.

I have loved her always. Wow! She's part of the fabric of our lives.

Yep, one of a kind! She elevates everything movie she does.

“Don’t believe what your teachers tell you” - Sigourney Weaver

Sooo looking forward to seeing all her new movies. I really miss seeing her because all her roles are empowering. She never plays a boring woman. Badass is right! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Amazing actress she can do it all action horror comedy drama she's an icon

What a great interview!! Thank you so much; I just love Sigourney Weaver. Looking forward to her new movies.💙

I remember when I first saw Alien. It took me by surprise that her character was the last survivor. It just broke all molds.

I admire her like no other. Great actress. Still looks very good.

My favorite actress and should have won an Oscar already.

Her father Pat Weaver created both The Tonight Show in 1954 and The Today Show in 1952. And Jane is a TODAY alumni and this year is TODAY's 70th anniversary.

A superstar who didn’t play the part. One of a kind.

God bless Sigourney Weaver! She looks so good. Beautifully natural thanks she has Stayed looking like herself unlike so many of her counterparts. X

She’s simply amazing.

She’s one of my favorites.

A wonderful, classy actress and person! Anxious to see her reuniting with Kevin Kline in “The Good House”. They had such great chemistry in “Dave” and “The Ice Storm.”

Wonderful performer who happens to be a marvelous and underrated comic actor to boot! . Love her…

What a glorious and yet unassuming lady.

Despite her extraordinary success in the Alien movies, in my opinion her greatest portrayals have been in indie films and on Broadway.

She's so versatile it's crazy, she really is one of a kind, love this woman, she deserves everything, hope she'll continue acting for many many years to come

Such a straightforward person. I'm trying to recall this terrifying film she made in the early 90s with Ben Kingsley as the protagonist.

I love her!!!! She is an icon of cinema! Her Ripley is outstanding!!!

When i watched Alien for the first time when i was 10 years old, Ellen Ripley literally changed my life and the way i looked at film. If i could meet any actor it would be Sigourney Weaver

She’s probably my favorite actress of all time.

Has aged gracefully. Is more beautiful now than ever. Great Actress who doesn’t seem ashamed or embarrassed by her role in Aliens franchise. Why should she be? Iconic Role. Legend.

Sigourney Weaver 🌹🌹🌹Sublime source d'inspiration ✨

So humble. You can see her look down when she is complimented at the end. She does have range and she has moxie. Love her and I want to thank her for bringing my favorite sci-fi movie heroine to life - Ellen Ripley.

Few in Hollywood can claim to be in her range/rank! Such exceptional body of work and deserves more praise and recognition

There is something about this woman I've always been attracted to. I think it's her self confidence. Her beauty is obvious. But her talent kind of hits you from left field. She's strong and very soft. My favorite role is the original Ghost Busters character. Alien and Aliens and of course Galaxy Quest were also great and very entertaining. Heartbreakers, was also an exceptional display of her comedic talents. I think to this day, Aliens is the greatest sequel to a sci fi movie ever made. But it would have been nothing, without her.

Looking good and doing well, a very fine actress and person.

Great fun watching Sigourney Weaver movies. I was new to NYC, arriving just before 9-11, and I was training on the sales floor of the famous Hammacher Schlemmer Flagship store. And who should tap me on the shoulder for assistance----Sigourney Weaver. She was tall and glamorous in her everyday clothes. She was my first celebrity shopper and James Taylor was my last when I left in 2013. Thank you Sigourney, best of luck with your new projects.

"Are you the key master?" and the rest is history. How Sigourney has not won at least 3 Oscars ( #GorillasintheMist #Alien #Workinggirl ) and at least one Emmy ( #TheDefenders ) is beyond me. She is in the same league as #Meryl and #GlennClose.

I REMEMBER WHEN I SAW ALIEN IN 1979 AND I SAW HER THE FIRST TIME I LOVE HER EVER SINCE.

One of the greatest! Just a LEGEND.

The one thing thats always impressed me besides her besides her elegance is her voice! Not only her voice but her perfect and professional diction!

You're amazing Sigourney. It's a crime she doesn't have an Oscar.

Tremendous actress. Is fantastic and her career is so incredible.

Love everything she's ever done, from the Alien franchise to The Ice Storm, to Copycat, to Death And The Maiden, etc... (especially love her ICONIC one scene cameo in 1995's Jeffrey) - also love that she's a fellow Libra, and that she's tight with the amazingly talented Christopher Durang, brilliant writer.

Her film, Snow Cake, with Alan Richman and Carrie-Anne Moss, is my favorite performance by her.

Give this woman an Honorary Oscar.....

Had the pleasure of working with her on an independent film called The Girl in the Park. Very professional and kind. Great at her craft. I’d like to see her work with Spielberg if she hasn’t already

One of the most uniquely beautiful actress. The jaw line, the nose... can't put into words.. And all of that with a lovely personality, she can hold her own space and not overly trying to please others and definitely not self-absorbed.

Love her...and she looks great!

Love this interview. Jane Pauley's interviews are real. Please more.

Nice interview. Looking forward to ALL FOUR BLOCKBUSTERS ! It’s been a while since we’ve been Sigorneyed.!

She doesn't look 72 at all. She ages very well. Healthy lifestyle.

Allure, Mystery, Smarts, and a Simmering Sexuality always percolating beneath the surface. Sigourney can do no wrong. ❤

She's so pretty, its good to see her working still. I need to dig into more of her films.

Happy Birthday, Sigourney Weaver! :)

She aged well. That's rare among actresses.

She seems like such a lovely person. I really enjoyed seeing those gardens and listening to the interview. Thank you. I remember seeing Sigourney Weaver many years ago at London, Gatwick Airport having a cup of tea with her Mum*. It was the end of July or beginning of August 1989. Being seventeen that year I was looking for summer work and had been called in for an interview that day (until I went off to college in September). I had arrived early, so was mindlessly people watching in the South Terminal "Gatwick Village" when I recognised her walk on the other side of the shopping area carrying a tray of tea. She and her Mum tucked themselves away behind the Baskin Robbins concession when she turned to look over my way and gave me a sweet, but slightly sheepish smile! It was never in my nature to ask for autographs and I was too shy at the time to approach and speak to a huge film star, especially as it wasn't a public event and she was trying to have a quiet cuppa with someone, all very low-key. Anyway, that's my little Sigourney Weaver story. The first thing I did when I got home was blurt out to my Mum "Guess who I saw at the airport today!!? The lady from ALIENS!"** I could barely contain myself. Now that I'm fifty, I do regret not going over to politely say hello when I had the perfect opportunity to do so. What a shame. **(In fact, I still watch many of her early films to this day and watched ALIEN 3 a few nights ago... her performance as Ripley in that film is so touching and sad - definitely top drawer.) *It was over a decade before I could work out who her travelling companion was, using Google, because the internet didn't exist in 1989. (Initially I had thought she might have been her manager or someone business related, because she was older. Also, because she was markedly smaller than Sigourney Weaver I hadn't realised they were mother and daughter.)

Her performance in death and the maiden was stunning, didn't even get an Oscar nomination nevermind the Oscar she deserved.

Really enjoyed this. What a charming and seemingly modest person Ms. Weaver is.

Sigourney = triumphant conqueror. The most beautiful name!

Every since I saw her in Prayers for Bobby; I have continued to love her. She’s an amazing actress.

One of the best actors in history. My all time favorite.

Sigourney is a national treasure ❤❤❤❤

Such a class act. Unforgettable as Katherine Parker!

One of m favorite actresses! I loved the mother of she portrayed in Prayers for Bobby! Besides I think she´s so classy as well !

I just rewatched Working Girl the other night, she was a hoot!

She's hugely appealing, happy to see this nice interview.... let's don't forget how good she was with Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest!

😊 My ultimate favorite actor!! Read the book, watched the movie & fell in love with Ms. Weaver as I watched Gorillas in the Midst!! Being an alien believer I was mesmerized by her acting in the Alien series!! I was in line for hours to watch her perform on the big screen. I rewatch the Aliens series as if watching it for the first time. Mr. Scot has an eye for the perfect actor in his movies. Was truly a great 2024 gift to watch this report. Shes one of my bucket list, Ive met a few actors in my life being a Chicagoan but my #1 goal is to someday see her in person!! I promise I won’t scream, (as I did watching Alien) I’ll probably just stand there with my mouth open!! 😊

I loved her in the Year of Living Dangerously.

Amazing actress

Great interview.
