Susan Alexandra "Sigourney" Weaver (/sɪˈɡɔːrni/ sig-OR-nee; born October 8, 1949) is an American actress. Prolific in film since the late 1970s, she is known for her pioneering portrayals of action heroines in science fiction and horror films.[1][2][3] She is the recipient of numerous accolades, including a British Academy Film Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Grammy Award, in addition to nominations for three Academy Awards, four Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award.

Born in New York City, Weaver is the daughter of American television executive Pat Weaver and English actress Elizabeth Inglis. She made her screen debut with a minor role in the romantic comedy film Annie Hall (1977) before her breakthrough role as Ellen Ripley in the science fiction horror film Alien (1979). She reprised the role in the sequel Aliens (1986), and some later installments. Ripley is regarded as a significant female protagonist in cinema history, and Weaver's performance in Aliens received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Her other franchise roles include Dana Barrett in the Ghostbusters films (1984–2021) and dual roles in the Avatar film series (2009–present), which rank among the highest-grossing films of all time.

In 1989, Weaver won two Golden Globes and two simultaneous Oscar nominations for her roles as Dian Fossey in Gorillas in the Mist (1988) and a young associate in Working Girl (1988). She also became the first actor to win two Golden Globes for acting in the same year. She won the British Academy Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Ice Storm (1997). Her other film roles include The Year of Living Dangerously (1982), Copycat (1995), Galaxy Quest (1999), The Village (2004), Vantage Point (2008), Chappie (2015), and A Monster Calls (2016). She also had voice roles in the Pixar animated films WALL-E (2008) and Finding Dory (2016).

On stage, Weaver's Broadway performances include The Constant Wife (1975), Hurlyburly (1984), and Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike (2013). Her performance in Hurlyburly earned her a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play. On television, she received Emmy Award nominations for her roles in the horror film Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1998), the drama film Prayers for Bobby (2009), the miniseries Political Animals (2013), and for narrating the National Geographic documentary Secrets of the Whales (2021). Her other television projects include the Marvel action miniseries The Defenders (2017) and the drama miniseries The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (2023).

Early life

[edit]

Susan Alexandra Weaver was born in New York City on October 8, 1949,[4][5] the daughter of English actress Elizabeth Inglis (1913–2007)[6] and American television executive Pat Weaver (1908–2002).[7] Her father served as president of NBC from 1953 to 1955, during which time he created The Today Show.[8] Pat's brother, Doodles Weaver, was a comedian and contributor to Mad.[9] She is of Dutch, English, Scots-Irish, and Scottish descent through her father.[10][11]

At the age of 14, Weaver began using the name "Sigourney" after she took it from a minor character in The Great Gatsby.[12][13] She briefly attended the Brearley School and Chapin School in New York before arriving at the Ethel Walker School in Simsbury, Connecticut, where she developed an early interest in performing.[14] One of her early roles was in a school adaptation of the poem "The Highwayman", and on another occasion she played a Rudolph Valentino character in an adaptation of The Sheik. She was also involved in theatrical productions of A Streetcar Named Desire and You Can't Take It with You during one summer in Southbury, Connecticut.[14] Known for her height, she reportedly reached 180 cm (5 ft 11 in) by the age of 11, which had a negative impact on her self-esteem; she recalled feeling like "a giant spider" and never having "the confidence to ever think [she] could act".[15]

In 1967, shortly before turning 18, Weaver visited Israel and volunteered on a kibbutz for several months.[16] Upon returning to the United States, she attended Sarah Lawrence College. After her freshman year, she transferred to Stanford University as an English major.[17] At Stanford, she was extensively involved in theater. She performed with a group in Palo Alto named The Company,[16] doing Shakespeare plays and "commedia dell'arte in a covered wagon" around the Bay Area,[16] the nature of which she considered "outrageous". She "dressed like an elf and lived in a tree house"[16] and avoided Stanford's drama department as she believed their productions were too "stuffy" and "safe".[16][17] She had planned to enter Stanford's Ph.D. English program and eventually pursue a career as a writer or a journalist, but changed her mind after getting frustrated by the "deadly dry" honors courses. She eventually graduated in 1972 with a BA in English.[14][17] She subsequently applied to the Yale School of Drama, performing Bertolt Brecht's Saint Joan of the Stockyards at her audition, and was accepted.[16]

Weaver admitted that she had a difficult time at Yale. She was not fond of the shows at Yale Repertory Theatre,[14] and had little luck getting lead roles in school productions.[18] Some of her acting teachers referred to her as "talentless" and advised her to stick to comedy.[19] She later said she pulled through due to her time at the Yale Cabaret, and with the help of friends such as Christopher Durang, who kept casting her in his plays.[14] She graduated from Yale with an MFA in 1974.[16]

Career

[edit]

1970s: Initial work and breakthrough

[edit]

Weaver performed in the first production of the Stephen Sondheim musical The Frogs while at Yale in 1974, alongside Larry Blyden and fellow students Meryl Streep and Durang.[20] She was briefly an understudy in a John Gielgud production of Captain Brassbound's Conversion thereafter.[14] She also acted in numerous original plays by Durang.[14] In 1974 she made her Broadway debut in the William Somerset Maugham play The Constant Wife acting opposite Ingrid Bergman.[21] Before her on-screen breakthrough, she had appeared only in commercials, a few television roles (including an appearance in the soap opera Somerset), and had a small part in the Woody Allen-directed romantic comedy-drama Annie Hall (1977).[22][23][24] Her originally more substantial Annie Hall role was scaled back due to her commitment to the Durang play Titanic.[25]

"One of the real pleasures of Alien is to watch the emergence of both Ellen Ripley as a character and Sigourney Weaver as a star."

- Ty Burr, The Boston Globe, 29 October 2003

Weaver appeared two years later as Warrant Officer / Lieutenant Ripley in Ridley Scott's blockbuster film Alien (1979), in a role initially designated to co-star British-born actress Veronica Cartwright until a late change in casting. Cartwright stated to World Entertainment News Network (WENN) that she was in England ready to start work on Alien when she discovered that she would be playing the navigator Lambert in the project, and Weaver had been given the lead role of Ellen Ripley.[26] Reviews of the film were initially mixed, but it has since been ranked among the greatest science fiction horror films and is Weaver's first film to be inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.[27][28] Film critic Gene Siskel called Weaver "an actress who should become a major star,"[29] and Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian said that Weaver "begins the action looking girlish and serious, but changes into the toughly self-reliant woman who defined her subsequent roles. Her career evolves before our very eyes."[30] Among other accolades, she was nominated for Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles at the 33rd British Academy Film Awards.[31]

1980s: Stardom and acclaim

[edit]

Weaver appeared in an off-Broadway production of Durang's comedy Beyond Therapy in 1981, which was directed by then-fledgling director Jerry Zaks.[32] She next appeared opposite Mel Gibson as British Embassy officer Jill Bryant in the Peter Weir directed romantic drama The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) which was released to critical acclaim.[33] Roger Ebert opined, "Weaver has a less interesting role but is always an interesting actress".[34] In 1984 she returned to Broadway acting in the David Rabe play Hurlyburly acting opposite William Hurt, Harvey Keitel, Cynthia Nixon, Jerry Stiller, Ron Silver, and Judith Ivey.[35] The production was directed by Mike Nichols with Weaver taking on the role of Darlene, a scatterbrained photojournalist who gets involved with two roommates.[36] The role earned Weaver a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play.[37] That same year she took the female leading role Dana Barrett in the comedy films Ghostbusters (1984) and reprised her role in Ghostbusters II (1988) acting alongside Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.[22]

Weaver reprised the role of Ellen Ripley seven years later in the sequel to Alien, similarly titled Aliens (1986) directed by James Cameron. Critic Roger Ebert wrote "Weaver, who is onscreen almost all the time, comes through with a very strong, sympathetic performance: She's the thread that holds everything together."[38] Variety said that, at that point, she was the only actress who could "open" an action movie.[39] For Aliens, she won the Saturn Award for Best Actress and earned her first nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama.

In 1988, Weaver starred as primatologist Dian Fossey in the biographical drama Gorillas in the Mist. The same year, she appeared opposite Harrison Ford in a supporting role as main antagonist Katharine Parker in the comedy-drama Working Girl. Both these films earned Weaver Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama and Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture for her two roles that year. At the Golden Globes that year, Weaver was one of three actresses to win in Best Actress, alongside Jodie Foster and Shirley MacLaine, in a three-way tie. Weaver received simultaneous Academy Award nominations in 1988—Best Actress for Gorillas in the Mist and Best Supporting Actress for Working Girl.[40] She was the first of four actresses (as of 2023) to have won two Golden Globes in the same year.

1990s: Continued science fiction roles

[edit]

Weaver returned to the big screen with Alien 3 (1992) and Ridley Scott's 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) in which she played the role of Queen Isabella. In the early 1990s, Weaver appeared in several films including Dave opposite Kevin Kline and Frank Langella. In 1994, she starred in Roman Polanski's drama Death and the Maiden as Paulina Escobar.[41] She played the role of agoraphobic criminal psychologist Helen Hudson in the film Copycat (1995).[42] Weaver also concentrated on smaller and supporting roles such as Jeffrey (1994) with Nathan Lane and Patrick Stewart.[43]

In 1997, she appeared in Ang Lee's The Ice Storm as Janey Carver, a bored but stylish housewife trapped in a failed marriage. Weaver earned her second Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture nomination for the role and won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.[44][45] In 1999, she co-starred as Gwen DeMarco in the science fiction comedy Galaxy Quest[46] and as Alice Goodwin, a mother and school nurse whose negligence results in the accidental drowning of a friend's toddler in the drama A Map of the World, earning her a third nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for the latter.[44] She also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that same year.[47][48][49]

In 2001, Weaver appeared in the comedy Heartbreakers playing the lead role of a con-artist alongside Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ray Liotta, Gene Hackman and Anne Bancroft. She was included on Channel 4's "100 Greatest Movie Stars" in 2003.[50] She appeared in several films throughout the decade including Holes (2003), the M. Night Shyamalan horror film The Village (2004), Vantage Point (2008), and Baby Mama (2008).

In February 2002, she featured as a guest role in the Futurama episode "Love and Rocket", playing the female Planet Express Ship.[51] In 2006, she was the narrator for the American version of the BBC Emmy Award-winning documentary series Planet Earth; the original British series version was narrated by David Attenborough.[52] In 2007, Weaver returned to Rwanda for the BBC special Gorillas Revisited, in which Weaver reunites with the Rwandan apes from the film Gorillas in the Mist, some 20 years later.[53]

In 2008, Weaver was featured as the voice of the ship's computer in the Pixar and Disney release WALL•E.[54][55] Also in 2008, she voiced a narrating role in the animated film The Tale of Despereaux (2008), based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo. The film opens with Weaver as narrator recounting the story of the pastel-hued Kingdom of Dor.[56] She also made a rare guest appearance on television playing herself in season 2 episode of the television series Eli Stone in the fall of 2008.[57]

In 2009, Weaver starred as Mary Griffith in her first television film Prayers for Bobby, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award,[58] Golden Globe Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award. Also in 2009, she reunited with Aliens director James Cameron for his film Avatar, playing a major role as Dr. Grace Augustine, leader of the AVTR (avatar) program on the film's fictional moon Pandora. It became the highest-grossing film of all time.[59][60][61]

In 2013, Weaver returned to Broadway in the Christopher Durang play Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike (2013) alongside David Hyde Pierce, Kristine Nielsen, and Billy Magnussen at the John Golden Theatre.[70] Charles Isherwood of The New York Times wrote "Ms. Weaver holds her own amid this skilled comic company".[71] Marilyn Stasio of Variety wrote, "Weaver, as funny as you’ve ever seen her".[72] The production went onto the Tony Award for Best Play at the 67th Tony Awards.[73]

In 2014, Weaver reprised the role of Ripley for the first time in 17 years by voicing the character in the video game Alien: Isolation. Her character has a voice cameo in the main story, and has a central role in the two DLCs set during the events of Alien, with most of the original cast voicing their respective characters.[74][75] Weaver appeared in the film Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) playing Tuya, directed by Ridley Scott, alongside Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton and Ben Kingsley.[76] In 2015, she co-starred in Neill Blomkamp's science-fiction film Chappie, and stated that she would agree to appear in an Alien sequel, provided that Blomkamp directs.[77]

In September 2011, it was confirmed that Weaver would be returning to Avatar: The Way of Water, with James Cameron stating that "no one ever dies in science fiction."[89] The Way of Water, alike to its predecessor, was released to critical and commercial success.[90] Principal photography for Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash started simultaneously on September 25, 2017; Weaver portrayed Kiri, Jake and Neytiri's daughter, and reprised her role as Dr. Grace Augustine.[91][92][93] The film became the third-highest-grossing film of all time, and it received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In 2023, Weaver starred in and executive-produced the Australian miniseries The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.[94] Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "it’s a special treat to see Weaver, who does not overplay her assumed Australian accent, in such a substantial part; if the series seems a little long, one may at least appreciate the greater time it affords us to spend in her company."[95] At the 13th AACTA Awards, Weaver was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Television Drama.[96]

In 2024, the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain awarded her with the International Goya Award for "her impressive career full of unforgettable films and inspiring us by creating complex and strong female characters."[97] She received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, alongside Peter Weir.[98][99] On May 7, 2024, Weaver returned to the stage reprising her role as Masha in the one night benefit performance of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike alongside David Hyde Pierce, Kristine Nielsen, and Linda Lavin at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in Lincoln Center.[100]
