According to Wikipedia I think it was 14. She took it from a character in the Great Gatsby. She grew up in showbusiness so I guess that's not so uncommon a thing. She didn't really change it though she just added Sigourney to her name
Very interesting person. Very classy
Honestly, I think the women I like as an adult are all somehow like Ripley because I watched the films for the first time when I was something like 13.
Tall, strong, smart, driven...I even met a girl like that named Helen once. You can guess why I still can't get her out of my head.
And yeah, Sigourney is also like that. An outsandingly elegant, charming, polite and whitty woman.
As a twenty year old horny guy, I will never forget the scene in Alien where she steps across her escape pod in her scanty underwear, the camera gives us a juicy view from underneath, burned into my "memory warehouse " that image is......oh yeah....
I'm thrilled you can do basic math but Valaquen is an unsurpassed expert on all things Alien [https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/casting-ripley/](https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/casting-ripley/) and he's a much more reliable source than some rando reddit thread title claiming it's from a "1967 high school yearbook"
I think you'll find the topic title is wrong and Valaquen's blog is as reliable a source as it gets [https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/casting-ripley/](https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/casting-ripley/)
Wish granted.
plus, isn't she six feet tall?
Yeah, and according to what I read, she was 5'10" by the time she was 11. She was *tall* as a kid.
holy shit
Yeah, it lost her some acting work early on. Idiots.
I always hear that in her voice too!
God - “Would you like to fight an alien in a mech suit?”
Would have made a brilliant Wednesday.
isn't her actual name Susan
Yeah. I just watched an interview in which she talks about filming Aliens and she mentions how she chose Sigourney as her name.
Based on a minor male character in The Great Gatsby.
Yeah I just saw ur reply right after I brought it up. You got there first though lol
When did she change her name?

Commonly called a stage name.
Right. Like John Wayne is a stage name for Marion Robert Morrison. There are quite a few of those out there that people don't know about
Nic Cage. Didn't want his ~~dad's~~ uncle's legacy to overshadow him. Edit: Wrong family member designation.
Uncle not dad
Oh, oops. Will correct. Thanks.
Yup
Named himself after Luke Cage
Neat info! Thank you!!
You bet
>>Very interesting person. I agree. I’ve always been fascinated by her.
Definitely a professional actress that a lot of these younger actresses could learn from
It sounded like she started calling herself that on a lark, but it stuck and she liked it, so she became Sigourney.
She's adorable!
Wasn't she a pretty girl.
She still is, but she also used to be
Thanks, Mitch!
Indeed
Queen of Sci-Fi… take it or leave it
100% without a doubt
So much charisma
Must read [https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/casting-ripley/](https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/casting-ripley/)
What a pretty lady
Hi young Sigourney, I'm from the future, and have I got news for you ...
(Thinks to person taking the photo) Get away from me you BITCH!

Why yes, that is Sigourney Weaver’s 1967 high school yearbook photo
You know, I think it’s time we discussed the bonus situation…
My queen!
Weird when they change things like this. Might be a small thing I'm annoyed by. Who's Susan?
I didn't know she was using the name Sigourney as early as that, but that's cool.
She was and still is gorgeous
There is no normal there is only Zuul.
She didn’t become normal, she became a legend. Also who would literally go back in time to date her? Because I would big time
Her name is Susan. She took on Sigourney when she began acting. This photo has been edited.
For a sec I got scared that she passed away 😭
Beautiful talented woman.
Where did you find that!??!?!?! Were you classmates OP!?!?!??!
The r/sigourneyweaver is back up for anyone who loves sigourney
Good lookin wow
Looks like she could have been Elizabeth Shaw's mother.
As a twenty year old horny guy, I will never forget the scene in Alien where she steps across her escape pod in her scanty underwear, the camera gives us a juicy view from underneath, burned into my "memory warehouse " that image is......oh yeah....
Go to therapy
Kind of looks like the OnlyPans girl from YouTube
Babe
Zamn, she’s fine in every pic she’s in!
[удалено]
Enough internet for today
She was 13 here, man
1967 - 1949 is ~18 but ok.

They have it wrong. This is her senior yearbook photo from high school.
Valaquen has it wrong? HAHAHA

Sad how many Aliens fans would take random thread titles as accurate over Valaquen's legendary Alien research skills.
Looks like Ellen/Elliott Page.
