Early life
[
edit
]
Susan Alexandra Weaver was born in New York City on October 8, 1949.
[8]
Her mother,
Elizabeth Inglis
(born Desiree Mary Lucy Hawkins), was a British actress and a native of Colchester, England.
[9]
Weaver's father,
Sylvester "Pat" Weaver Jr.
, was an American television executive born in Los Angeles, who served as president of NBC from 1953 to 1955 and created NBC's
Today Show
in 1952.
[10]
[11]
Pat's brother,
Winstead "Doodles" Weaver
, was a comedian and contributor to
Mad
.
[12]
Her father's American family was of Dutch, English, Scots-Irish, and Scottish ancestry.
[13]
[14]
At the age of 14, Weaver began using the name Sigourney, taking it from a minor character in
The Great Gatsby
.
[15]
[16]
She briefly attended the
Brearley School
and
Chapin School
in New York before arriving at the
Ethel Walker School
(Walker's) in Simsbury, Connecticut, where she developed an early interest in performance art.
[17]
One of her early roles was in a school adaptation of the poem "
The Highwayman
", and on another occasion she played a
Rudolph Valentino
character in an adaptation of
The Sheik
. She was also involved in theatrical productions of
A Streetcar Named Desire
and
You Can't Take It with You
during one summer at Southbury, Connecticut.
[17]
Weaver reportedly reached the height of 179 cm (5 ft 10 in) by the age of 11, which had a negative impact on her self-esteem. She recalled feeling like "a giant spider" and never having "the confidence to ever think I could act."
[18]
In 1967, shortly before turning 18, Weaver visited Israel and
volunteered on a kibbutz
for several months.
[19]
On her return to the United States, she attended
Sarah Lawrence College
. After her freshman year, she transferred to
Stanford University
as an English major.
[20]
At Stanford, Weaver was extensively involved in theater. She performed in a group named the Palo Alto Company, doing
Shakespeare
plays and "
commedia dell'arte
in a covered wagon" around the Bay Area, the nature of which she considered "outrageous". She avoided Stanford's drama department, as she believed their productions were too "stuffy" and "safe".
[19]
[20]
Weaver had planned to enter Stanford's Ph.D. English program and eventually pursue a career as a writer or a journalist, but changed her mind after getting frustrated by the "deadly dry" honors courses. She eventually graduated in 1972 with a Bachelor of Arts in English.
[17]
[20]
Weaver subsequently applied to
Yale University's School of Drama
, performing
Bertolt Brecht
's
Saint Joan of the Stockyards
at her audition, and was accepted.
[19]
Weaver admitted that she had a difficult time at Yale. She was not fond of the shows at
Yale Repertory Theatre
,
[17]
and had little luck getting lead roles in school productions.
[21]
Some acting teachers referred to her as "talentless" and advised her to stick to comedy.
[22]
Weaver credited her friends such as
Christopher Durang
, who kept hiring her for his plays, as well as her time at the
Yale Cabaret
, as crucial in helping her pull through.
[17]
She graduated from Yale with a Master of Fine Arts in 1974.
[19]
Career
[
edit
]
1970s: Initial work and breakthrough
[
edit
]
Weaver performed in the first production of the
Stephen Sondheim
musical
The Frogs
while at Yale in 1974, alongside
Larry Blyden
and fellow students
Meryl Streep
and Durang.
[23]
She was briefly an understudy in a
John Gielgud
production of
Captain Brassbound's Conversion
thereafter.
[17]
She also acted in original plays by Durang. She appeared in an
off-Broadway
production of Durang's comedy
Beyond Therapy
in 1981, which was directed by then-fledgling director
Jerry Zaks
.
[17]
[24]
Before her on-screen breakthrough, she had appeared only in commercials, a few television roles (including an appearance in the soap opera
Somerset
), and had a small part in the
Woody Allen
-directed romantic comedy-drama
Annie Hall
(1977).
[25]
[26]
[27]
Her originally more substantial
Annie Hall
role was scaled back due to her commitment to the Durang play
Titanic
.
[28]
"One of the real pleasures of
Alien
is to watch the emergence of both Ellen Ripley as a character and Sigourney Weaver as a star."
- Ty Burr of
The Boston Globe
Weaver appeared two years later as Warrant Officer / Lieutenant
Ripley
in
Ridley Scott
's
blockbuster
film
Alien
(1979), in a role initially designated to co-star British-born actress
Veronica Cartwright
until a late change in casting. Cartwright stated to World Entertainment News Network (WENN) that she was in England ready to start work on
