Sigourney Weaver: The Heat is On (June 1992 Movieline article)

Sigourney Weaver is a genre icon. It’s probably a safe bet that she is best known for having played Ellen Ripley in four Alien movies with the threat of a fifth installment to be made some day if the stars align. Despite a strong connection with science fiction, Weaver’s career has been fairly eclectic. She’s done comedies ranging from Ghostbusters to Working Girl and prestige pictures like Gorillas in the Mist. And she’s been nominated for Oscars in all of these different kinds of roles.

In 1992, Weaver was returning to the part of Ripley for what was supposed to be the last time in Alien3. She was coming off a hiatus during which she gave birth to her only child. In this cover story from the June 1992 issue of Movieline magazine, Weaver discussed her changing priorities as an actress and a mother.
