Sigourney Weaver on making WORKING GIRL 

She should have totally won the best supporting actress Oscar for her role!

She was brilliant in this film, her wit, spontaneity and meanness were spot on 🙂

In the German version of the movie, Katherine made the hotel reservation in Italian 😂

Absolutely one of my favorite films. I've watched at least 20 times.

I am after all, me!

She has that classic patrician beauty and the most melodic voice.

They were having fun with it. that is why it's a great movie.

Very influential in my 30’s. Still in my Top 5

I smile when I saw her carrying that gorilla ... I thought it was a nod to her other great movie that year Gorillas In The Mist ..

I always thought the gorilla was a nod to "Gorillas In The Mist" which, if I'm not mistaken, she had starred in right before "Working Girl".

You were a treasure in Working Girl! Now get your, what was it you said? Bony *ss. Get your bony *ss out of my sight. That scene was so awesome, from start (downstairs with the files, "my stuff" to upstairs in the elevator and in the reception area upstairs). I love you so much Sigourney. Whether it is Heartbreakers, Copycats, Alien, Working Girl, even Cabin in the Woods. You just rock!

That character both in hospital and when high on meds coming home - must have been written by a fan of Auntie Mame... I really enjoyed those parts of Katherine

Sigourney was so Deliciously Evil in this movie. I think everyone in their lifetime has had a woman boss like that and it really makes their blood boil. I think that actually was a factor in Sigourney LOSING the Oscar for this role. Members of the Academy HATED her character and gave the Oscar to Geena Davis for "Accidental Tourist" instead. But Sigourney deserved it.

I love her. Das ist Katherine Parker!

what a song, i love it!

She looks so good.

The ski fall scene sight gag 🤣

Such a tremendous cast . . . Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack, Phil Bosco, Oliver Platt . . . even Amy Aquino in a tiny little role at the end, kills it. No small roles.

I watched Working Girl very long time ago. Still do remember some scenes. And I also remember, that I did like this film. Do slightly recollect that alpine skiing injury episode and the German language on the phone sequence.

Loved this movie & i'm a red blooded steak eating guy

Wish it was longer...

What I love most about this character is that she is real. I don't even know if I'd call her evil per se. I'm sure there are thousands of Katherines out there. They are not mean to your face, they pretend to be on your side while only serving their own agenda. Sneakily trampling on anyone who gets in their way, while pretending to be a good innocent person. They don't commit crimes, they are not violent. They just have total disregard for people they see as inferior, manipulating them and using them as they see fit.

I didn't see it as her making a mistake, it turned out she was the same as the guys and you wonder if she got where she did by stealing other people's ideas. She's smart though, she figured out how to turn the tables at the meeting and almost got away with it. She was a lovable villain, you even feel a bit sorry for her and comical too the way she was chasing the harrison ford character. I guess she got what she deserved in the end.

Hope to be able to watch Working Girl one day in the language of the original, in English.

What an incredible woman. I just love Sigourney. It’s funny the gorilla is also seen on Melanie Griffith’s back. I used to wonder if it was Mike Nichol’s kind of naughty joke about Melanie’s substance issues on the film. But that’s probably too dark. 😬 It was probably more representative of Katherine’s character in Tess’s life at that stage in the film.

Yeah Gorillas in the Mist was also released that year too. Working Girl -Weaver and Seinfeld-Julia Louis Dreyfus look so much alike back then.

Sigourney's honest face, clear, open eyes, and sweet manner make her a bad choice for the role of the main villain. I couldn't see her as evil for almost a second. Sig is good. She couldn't be evil because she's sweet. I love her.

Her German was so good ！

Who is Mike? I love this movie and she was great in it as in Aliens. So decades after seeing it many times I hear that the gorilla was a play on King Kong. That’s a detail that means nothing to me. I watched King Kong Fay Wray version when I was five years old and I had a screaming nightmare that night. Terror! It’s fitting that the first scary movie after King Kong I ever saw was Aliens and I had to be dragged to it. It was great and she was awesome in it. I generally stay away from scary movies even now!

class act

one of the greatest movies ever, Mel Griffith was robbed of that best actress oscar!!!! Sig also should of won best supporting actress! Screw job!!!!

Weaver has a great presidential look. I can easily picture her as the President.

I was certain she had copied wintour to play Catherine！

1987 something typically German? I never noticed. West German or East German? My next Harrison Ford evening will be "Working girl". Where you book the hotel room. West German!

I never thought she was evil in that film. I thought she had the best character to play. People at the bottom see her as evil. But the higher you get professionally the more you see her being just a big fish in the business world. And the corporate world is exactly like a microcosm or wildlife. You don't stay on top of the food chain by being nice and compassionate. The second you show weakness you're out and Catherine couldn't be weak, because the second she was Tess tried to take her place. It is the same with Miranda in Devil wears prada, she is just being a boss, there is nothing evil about her. And Emily is not evil at all, she is just being exactly what is expected of a PA. And the second Emily shows weakness, Andrea takes over. This is how the corporate world functions. If you are not ready to keep your position at ANY cost, then you should not even waste any time or effort trying to have a career. Just be a kindergarten teacher or a cashier at Tesco for the rest of your life.
