SIGOURNEY WEAVER

Sigourney Weaver – Ripley in the Alien movies – proved she was game for a laugh. Martin Clunes says: “During filming, we had a quiz night every Wednesday and on the night Sigourney was there, one of the questions was: ‘Name the cat in Alien.’ There was a lot of cheering and jeering, but Sigourney stood up and answered correctly. Her presence was a real tickle for everybody. She’s a very classy dame!”
