Sigourney Weaver hits the red carpet with her child Shar Simpson as legendary actress turns the Venice Film Festival into a family affair


The Alien actress, 74, attended the Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice premiere with Shar, 34, at the glittering film festival on Wednesday.

Weaver, 74, is being awarded the Golden Lion by the Venice Film Festival, its highest honour, tonight after a career which has seen her play Ripley in the Alien movies plus appear in Ghostbusters, Avatar, Working Girl and many more. She played the iconic heroine in the sci-fi series from the 1979 original to its fourth installment 'Alien: Resurrection' in 1997 and has now revealed she hasn't completely closed the door on reprising her role in a future flick, even if she feels it is unlikely. When quizzed on the latest entry into the franchise 'Alien: Romulus' - which stars Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, Archie Renaux and Aileen Wu - Weaver revealed 'there wasn't a discussion' about Ripley being a part of the movie, but stressed she wishes the cast 'all the best for it'.
