 Prisma: Sigourney Weaver
Susan Alexandra Weaver (der Künstlername Sigourney ist F. Scott Fitzgeralds Roman "Der große Gatsby" entlehnt) stammt aus einer New Yorker Familie, die für ihre zahlreichen Komödianten berühmt ist.
Sigourney, die in Ivan Reitmans sanfter Komödie "Dave" (1993) die Gattin des US-Präsidenten alias Kevin Kline spielt und dabei mühelos den Eindruck erweckt, als sei das Weiße Haus eine ihr durchaus angemessene Wohnstatt, feierte ihre großen Erfolge nach dem ekligen, aber kultigen "Alien" in einer Reihe sehr unterschiedlicher Filme.
Nie war sie überzeugender als an der Seite von Mel Gibson in Peter Weirs "Ein Jahr in der Hölle" (1983), zusammen mit Bill Murray und Harold Ramis in "Ghostbusters" (1984) oder in Michael Apteds "Gorillas im Nebel" (1988).
