Sigourney Weaver Celebrates Her 75th Birthday, Marking Decades of Iconic Roles

The acclaimed actress is honored for her pioneering work in Hollywood, including her legendary performances in 'Alien' and 'Avatar'.

Sigourney Weaver, known for her towering presence both physically and in Hollywood, celebrates her 75th birthday today.
Despite her height being initially seen as a barrier, Weaver broke through with her role as Ellen Ripley in the 1979 film 'Alien'.
She has been nominated for three Oscars, but despite critical acclaim, she has yet to win the prestigious award.
At the recent Venice Film Festival, Weaver was honored with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, recognizing her impact on cinema.
Looking ahead, Weaver plans to continue her role in the 'Avatar' series, with the final installment expected in 2031.
