There’s nobody else like Sigourney Weaver. Her fierce intelligence has made every role she’s ever taken infinitely better.

Harold Ramis did NOT direct Ghostbusters – please change your graphic at 8:30, it’s insulting to him as the writer and one of the stars and to Ivan Reitman who DID direct it.

And then remembering that Jennifer Lawrence called herself the first female action star after doing the Hunger Games series…
Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton enters the chat!
They don’t make movies like Alien 1-3 and Terminator 1-2 anymore!

Her having the opportunity at 70yo to play teenager must have been such a wild experience. And since its CGI they really only need to capture her performance, the looks are the easy part.

A class act and a Hollywood legend! She knows what she wants and refuses to just settle with a script or without an opinion. Admirable! I love the simplicity of Alien but Aliens is my favourite in the franchise. Ellen Ripley is one of the best female protagonists ever! 🤍

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
