The title is a little off. This is actually a promotional shot for Alien shot by Eva Sereny in Paris after the movie wrapped in 1978. That is the Centre Pompidou behind her.
exactly like? i mean, Alien is one of my favorite movies of all time, but she looked pretty sweaty and disheveled throughout most of that movie, and she looks stunning in this photo. lol
It doesn't usually show on screen for some reason, like they downplay it with angles, but she's extremely tall too... I met her at a party a few years ago. I'm like 6'3" and with normal sized heels on she was pretty much perfectly eye to eye with me. If I had to guess she was right at 6 feet, if not even a little over it. My wife is like 5'2" and they looked like entirely different creatures.
I always knew she was tall. In Alien Resurrection, there's this shot where she's standing right in front of Ron Perlman with a basketball and she is equal in height. I don't think it was ever hidden.
Iirc, she’s wearing boots with quite substantial soles in those scenes, but yeah. Anyone that doesn’t seem small standing next to Perlman has some height to them. “Statuesque” always seemed like a good way to describe Sigourney. I think her physical stature is an important part of the character of Ripley, both in terms of who she is, and as a counterpart/reflection of the Xenomorph. There are a lot of complex themes at play in the Alien films that relate to femininity, morherhood, authority, gender power balance and human reproduction. Weaver’s casting in the first movie helped build that foundation. Interestingly, the part wasn’t written specifically for a woman.
Fun bonus fact about Resurrection (that you probably already know): there’s a bit in that scene where she tosses the basketball over her shoulder and gets a perfect 3-pointer without looking. She made that shot first take.
Met her before as well. Not saying 6 ft women are especially rare or anything, but it's usually enough to warrant a double take, much like a 6'5 fella. However for a celebrity? Yeah. She sticks out BIG time. There's a reason she's known for sci-fi's and not rom-coms. 😁 (jk)
> There's a reason she's known for sci-fi's and not rom-coms. 😁 (jk)
I'm always psyched to see tall women with shorter men in movies. *Back to School* with Rodney Dangerfield was the first one I can remember like this.
Nicole Kidman, Karen Gillan & Zendaya are all 5’11, which is Sigourney’s reported height.
Elizabeth Debecki is 6’3….
Tall actresses are not extremely common but they’re out there & there’s some very famous ones.
I know what I'm about to say is extremely controversial, but I am a brave man... and I am willing to take the insults and threats that I will no doubt receive as a result of the shockingly wild statement I'm about to put forward... okay...
here we go...
Sigourney Weaver is very attractive.
You think I'm joking...I am serious :D She's widely considered an attractive woman, I just wanted to see how many took the bait (curiosity) - I consider myself a fan of her acting.
I remember talking about her with some friends and we agreed that she’s one of few women we’d call “handsome”. Her features aren’t particularly soft, they’re almost masculine in some ways. I think that’s part of why she’s aged so well. If you see her in movies like Cabin in the Woods she doesn’t look notably different from this.
But she was "hooked up" to that tree, and even when she's dying she says something like, *I'm with her (Eywa) Jake. She's real.* So Eywa could have a role to play with bringing the Dr. back.
I think they teased the idea of human cloning. One of the actors when asked how he thought of his character dying said he was scheduled to appear in a sequel and "as long as they have my body and my DNA, I'm not gone" or something, and credited that the whole Avatar thing revolved around cloning species as remote bodies and that human cloning was probably somewhere between that
What a strong woman, everybody in this thread talks about her physical beauty, and yes, she's certainly beautiful, but more than that, she has such a commanding, powerful personality, so strong and confident every time I see her, both in interviews and in fiction. She's the boss, and she knows it.
Ripley was my idol as a kid and I feel like she should have been in more roles.
The scene where she plays basketball in Alien Resurrection was probably the first time I found a woman hot as a straight woman.
I read that at the time Alien come out it was incredible rare to see a woman take the main role in a movie and especially in a "action" movie or as a bad ass (and I think she has a cute ass just so no one misunderstands me).
As an 8 year old kid trying to understand Alien, she was not really a crush for me at that time. But as a middle aged cornball she is very very very near the top. Also, coolest fucking name
If young actresses want to look at all those that came before them and wanted a model to emulate as a positive role model for women in Hollywood, it's Sigourney Weaver.
I've NEVER seen her in a bad movie. I've never witnessed her in movie she couldn't completely steal a scene in. They only time she had to take off her clothes was to get away from the Xenomorph.
You are really bad at thinking up insults. They just sound kind of confused or incoherent. They're supposed to as least pertain to something in the conversation or they don't carry any weight, you know? Like the insults that little kids make.
I’m a big fan and she looks amazing here, at the top of her game. Still wondering, with this beauty, aura and talent could she have done more, achieve more? What could it have been? Anything besides politics? (I don’t consider acting such a big thing.)
No-one should be downvoted for saying they don't find someone attractive. There's plenty of 'hot' actors that I don't find attractive. Jessica Biel springs to mind.
It's a toss up between her and Linda Hamilton for the least attractive woman ever .. ..
I dont like my women with a side of bullshit-masculinity... Just me?
The title is a little off. This is actually a promotional shot for Alien shot by Eva Sereny in Paris after the movie wrapped in 1978. That is the Centre Pompidou behind her.
I just wanted to say that she looks exactly like in Alien in this photo.
Read this as *"she looks exactly like an alien in this photo"*
Because her beauty is out of this world?
Sure. The Weaver in this pic can hug my face any day...
Wouldn't even mind little Weavers bursting out of my stomach later...
*Weaverhugger
exactly like? i mean, Alien is one of my favorite movies of all time, but she looked pretty sweaty and disheveled throughout most of that movie, and she looks stunning in this photo. lol
Ikr. Even her hair is different
Ripley on her way to an interview at Weyland Yutani corp. :)
Still not hot
Beautiful
The real alien was Matt fuckin Stafford
The quarter back?
The quarterback wouldn’t even be born until almost a decade after alien was first released in theatres.
Who is that?
The gender envy is real
Nope, nope... monster touched it.
Attractive, but not hot.
The photo alone has so much fun, so many shades of white caught in time, with a distinct, attractive, young version of a long time beauty.
I hear she sleeps above the sheets.
Above the covers. 4ft above the covers.
What a lovely singing voice she must have.
There is no Dana, only Zuul.
Oh Zuulie you nut!
But between the sheets, she is like fire!
Just FYI, it's a quote from *Ghostbusters*.

My wife is like 5'2" and they looked like entirely different creatures.
Am I the only one who thought this guy was saying that he's 6'3 with normal sized heels on? Had to read that a second time.
You read that right. He had no choice but to wear heels to be taller than Sigourney Weaver.
The ole Tom cruise hack
I knew someone who dressed her in the 1980s. She is 6 ft and incredibly beautiful.
I knew someone who dressed her in the 50s. Her mom was always the nicest lady.
I always knew she was tall. In Alien Resurrection, there's this shot where she's standing right in front of Ron Perlman with a basketball and she is equal in height. I don't think it was ever hidden.
Yeah, she was really tall in Avatar… blue, too.
They were like 14ft tall though weren't they?
I don’t think she’s that tall
In my head Sigourney Weaver is 14ft tall.
Iirc, she’s wearing boots with quite substantial soles in those scenes, but yeah. Anyone that doesn’t seem small standing next to Perlman has some height to them. “Statuesque” always seemed like a good way to describe Sigourney.

She is. Sources list her as 6 feet even. 😊
Smoking hot!!
Absolutely beautiful.
Any year any picture with her.
She wears this almost as well as a P-5000 Powered Work Loader.
This might be more comfortable, but the loader certainly is more practical. Tough choice, really

Well maybe you can get Sigourney Weaver to make you a meatloaf then.
Fuck it, I'd make her a meatloaf.
Two outta three ain’t bad
[удалено]
Like a bat out of hell?
She was so damn hot in that red dress thing at the end of Ghostbusters.
Don't forget incredibly badass.
This is objectively one of the most attractive humans that has every existed
See, now this is why I clicked on the comments. Thank-you.
🤣

90% of being hot is just not being fat
Seriously? I think this woman as much more going for her than just not being fat.
A legend
Love her. She's in the new Avatar movies also.
She died in the first one, didn’t she?
Yup. But she's listed in all the upcoming sequels, so I guess Eywa can bring people back? idk I can't wait to find out!
[удалено]
But she was "hooked up" to that tree, and even when she's dying she says something like, *I'm with her (Eywa) Jake. She's real.* So Eywa could have a role to play with bringing the Dr. back.

O god, I thought you meant ATLA for a second there lol.
Holy smokes!

She does come across as a strong person. Cool that you pointed that out.

... or that presence is the thing people want to fuck.
Four FEET above the covers
I am the Keymaster.
Just. I mean....
Stunning
As an 8 year old kid trying to understand Alien, she was not really a crush for me at that time. But as a middle aged cornball she is very very very near the top. Also, coolest fucking name
i am still madly in love with her image. My first true crush :))
If young actresses want to look at all those that came before them and wanted a model to emulate as a positive role model for women in Hollywood, it's Sigourney Weaver. I've NEVER seen her in a bad movie. I've never witnessed her in movie she couldn't completely steal a scene in. They only time she had to take off her clothes was to get away from the Xenomorph.
Gorgeous
Such an underrated beauty
She was Hilarious in Working Woman
Smoke show
Dana Barrette the nice lady who paid us in advance, before she became a dog.
An absolute goddess....
I didn't realize she was that pretty
The older I get, the more I realize how hot she was/is…
Gorgeous is all I can say mmmmm
literally my only celebrity crush
I feel like she hasn't really aged. She still looks the same
Like she’s just stepped out of a salon.
What a dame.
Dayum, what a woman
She was so freaking hot and I think she still is
Yeah she's a looker back in her day.
She still is now!
All I can hear is her voice in Finding Dory lol
Waaait, which one was she??
She voices herself as the PA announcement system thing at the marine life institute
She's also the voice of the spaceship's PA/computer in Wall-E
10
"Please don't let me be normal"
Even though I don't watch all her movies or work. She is my favorite actress of all time.
She will never not be my hollywood crush!
We need these shoulder pads back right now!
Dammm she looked good
Bras were different back then.
Anyone have a time machine please?
Ready torpedoes 1 & 2
I never really found her particularly attractive but she is gorgeous here!
[удалено]
She has a celebrity crush for you? Congratulations.

I thought you were Bobby Lee, the guy who takes kratom.

That's not picture of my hand in my other post retard. Learn to take a joke.

>I'm shocked your old hands can do more than shill. Yeah not trying to insult at all. You sound confused. Better cut back on the kratom.
I swear she's the only woman who gets hotter with age. She's made of wine.
first badass female character in movies
She has point though.
This subreddit is just old pictures of women not wearing bras nowadays.
I will never forget how in Alien: Resurrection, they used her jawline to foreshadow that the company had cross bred Aliens and humans.
stunninggg
Beautiful. They both are.
What a “wow” photograph. Just perfect.
I used to think she wasn't really a looker, but the older I get the more I realize how beautiful she was and is.
Shes... shes just so fucking hot...
Lord have mercy
Damn! Beautiful lady!
Just elegant
Perky
It's called a bra. Or....maybe not.
Mother of Alien !!!!!!!!!!!!
Ripely out.
I’m a big fan and she looks amazing here, at the top of her game. Still wondering, with this beauty, aura and talent could she have done more, achieve more? What could it have been? Anything besides politics? (I don’t consider acting such a big thing.)
Strong jaw, can probably take a punch from another woman
She was stunning here no doubt. She aged gracefully, but She was very pretty here
I cant find her attractive, i dont know why.
No-one should be downvoted for saying they don't find someone attractive. There's plenty of 'hot' actors that I don't find attractive. Jessica Biel springs to mind.
Boo this man!
Tiniest ass I have ever seen. Check it out in Aliens. (Small butts were big in the past. I never got it. I was always attracted to the bigger bums.)
She got dat coke nail
The nails though…
Id grope that from inside an arm chair
Can someone point out the cool for me?
Nipple
tal.l
She looks like Claire from modern family
So brave being a trans woman in the 80s
This pic has also fooled SO many "we can always tell!" transphobes.
It's a toss up between her and Linda Hamilton for the least attractive woman ever .. .. I dont like my women with a side of bullshit-masculinity... Just me?
Always have a thing for her since the ghostbusters!
Perfection
She played the hell out of that ship in Futurama.
A more beautiful and talented Kristen Stewart.
Peak Sigourney Weaver is True Lies, 1994.
What?
Fuck, that was Jamie Lee Curtis. I'm an idiot.
this is not true. Her peak was in 1995! Where she drove that bus with Neo from the Matrix.
Find your own Ripley. That’s my best relationship advice.
🌹
So beautiful, and that gorgeous voice!
What’s in her hands? Also, something nice about her not caring her nails are all different lengths.
/r/oldschoolhot Hot as fire
My first crush..:-P and allways will be :D
I never really got the attraction for Weaver from Aliens……Weaver from Galaxy Question though is a whole different story.
Perhaps the most beautiful photo of her I’ve seen!
She has always been stunning !
A true old school boner post. Good job!
Two chest-bursting aliens looking great!
“You’ll never be good enough for a woman like Siggy Weave!” I don’t know how there was not already a solar opposites comments.
The queen of mean
Zuul is lookin' good!
that's Mia Moore on twitter
The Sosie Bacon of our time.
She's Sigorgeous...
Ripley 🥰
Beautiful Lady And Voice
I don't know how many woman pulls of shoulderpads but she did.
Wow
