Sigourney Weaver has had quite a career spanning back to 1979. The three time Academy Award nominee was a relative unknown in Hollywood when she starred in the 1979 Sci-Fi hit “Alien”. The Alien franchise would become an instant classic with sequels leading up to Alien Resurrection in 1997- Sigourney Weaver starred in each. There was also a spin-off titled “Alien vs Predator” in 2004 and yet another spin-off titled “Prometheus” in 2012. Fast forward to 2017 and Alien is back!
