Weaver makes her own
rules with upcoming film
NEW YORK (AP) — Sigour
ney Weaver is a vision as she
opens the door of her hotel
room — a long, slinky mink of
a woman clad in a sheer, blood-
red corset shirt with a fitted
black skirt.
One other thing: She is
barefoot.
It is a telling detail. While
Sigourney Weaver may be
every inch the urbane New York
sophisticate — an actress with
both a pedigree and an Ivy
League degree — she is also a
woman who deals with the world on her terms. Those
heels too tight? To hell with them.
And with no less than three films coming out this fall that
are remarkable for their diversity, Weaver has earned the right
to kick off her shoes — figuratively as well as literally.
She stars in a dark version of Snow White: A Tale of
Terror on Showtime; she is reprising her role of Ripley in
Alien: Resurrection, and, most recently, she is in Ang Lee’s
acclaimed The Ice Storm as Janey Carver, a disillusioned
suburban Connecticut housewife.
To her, it is an actor’s dream to be in three such di
verse films “that each demanded something different
from me,” says Weaver, 48. “That in itself is cool.”
