After being schooled in her native New York City, Weaver attended Stanford University and then obtained her masters at the Yale School of Drama where, along with classmate Meryl Streep, she appeared in classical Greek plays.

The actress take on the character was laced with a subtlety that made her a new kind of female action hero Intelligent, resourceful, and unconsciously sexy, Weavers Ripley was a woman with the guts to master her fear in order to take on a terrifying unknown enemy. Alien proved to be one of the years biggest hits and put Weaver on Hollywoods A list, though she would not reprise her character for another seven years.

Her unforgettable performance was honored with a Best Actress Oscar nomination, and was followed up by Weavers similarly haunting portrayal of doomed naturalistanimal rights activist Diane Fossey in Gorillas in the Mist 1. The role won Weaver her second Best Actress Oscar nomination, and that same year, she received yet another Oscar nomination this time for Best Supporting Actress for her deliciously poisonous portrayal of Melanie Griffiths boss in Working Girl. After 1. 99. 2s Alien 3, Weaver had her next big hit playing President Kevin Klines lonely wife in the bittersweet romantic comedy Dave 1. She then gave a gripping performance as a rapetorture victim who faces down the man who may or may not have been her tormentor in Roman Polanskis moody thriller Death and the Maiden 1. During the latter half of the decade, Weaver appeared in Alien Resurrection perhaps the most poorly received installment of the series but increasingly surfaced in offbeat roles such as the coolly fragile Janey in Ang Lees The Ice Storm and the psychotic, wicked Queen in the adult oriented HBO production The Grimm Brothers Snow White both 1. In 1. 99. 9, she starred in the sci fi spoof Galaxy Quest, making fun of her image as a sci fi goddess while continuing to prove her remarkable versatility. Weavers first high profile project of the new millenium saw her swindling Ray Liotta and Gene Hackman as a sexy con woman teamed up with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Already into her fifties, Weaver proved she still possessed plenty of sex appeal even alongside a substantially younger starlet like Hewitt.
