Sigourney Weaver.  Revered as the leading American actress who combines indomitable strength with old world elegance, Sigourney Weaver comes by both naturally.
Sigourney Weaver sat down with Alex over lunch at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons, looking every bit the elegant lady in a tailored red suit and discussed her movie career from Annie Hall (her first screen role) to Alien to Heartbreakers, Working Girl, Galaxy Quest and everything in between.  Alex covers her relations to directors like Woody Allen, Ang Lee, Mike Nichols, Ridley Scott and Peter Weir and actors like Mel Gibson, Ray Liotta, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Gene Hackman.
