What
do you do if you are a charismatic, freethinking, extremely intelligent
actress that is six feet tall, dwarfing most male leads? You replace the
male lead and become the most lucrative action hero in franchise history!
Empowering women and telling their stories is the common theme of Weaver's
varied work, as reflected in her Academy Award nominated portrayal of Dian
Fossey in GORILLAS IN THE
MIST. She calls herself a late bloomer; married at
34, a mother at 40, though, in truth her path was not an easy one. Her
failures will tug at your heart, just as the successes she eked from them
will warm your soul. Sigourney Weaver is a role model for spirited women
of any age. |
