Sigourney Weaver Gets Emotional As She Talks About Her Work’s Connection To Kamala Harris — Venice Film Festival
Sigourney Weaver welled up as she considered whether her role in 'Alien' had impacted the rise of Kamala Harris today at the Venice Film Festival.
In response to a reporter who linked her role as Ripley in Alien to Kamal Harris, Weaver considered the thought and tears filling her eyes as she said: “We’re all so excited about Kamala and to think for one moment that my work would have anything to do with her rise makes me very happy, actually, because it’s true. Harris, who replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for this year’s Presidential election, was narrowly ahead of Donald Trump, according to a new nationwide poll released yesterday and the sense she could cause an upset is growing. She recalled a point in Hollywood history when “suddenly they decided that older women could actually play interesting characters,” adding: “We stopped being a joke and the mother-in-law, and began becoming real people.”
