How Old Was Sigourney Weaver in Alienに関する主要なデータを丁寧に解説いたします。

Yes! Twenty-nine. She filmed Alien in 1978, and her birthday is October 8, 1949. Do the math. It’s almost criminal how young she was.

Think about every badass thing Ripley does. That’s all Sigourney at 29. She wasn’t even thirty yet. Most of us at 29 can’t find our car keys. She was commanding a spaceship.

The "Old Soul" trick

Here’s the funny part: Nobody guessed she was that young. Ripley feels seasoned, tired, like she’s seen it all. That’s the magic of Weaver’s acting.

She played it so straight, so grounded. It made her seem older, wiser. Casting director Mary Selway almost didn’t even audition her because she thought Weaver was too tall (she’s 5'10"). Tall and twenty-nine? Unfair.
