Following her film debut as a minor character in Annie Hall (1977), she quickly came to prominence in 1979 with her first lead role as Ellen Ripley in Alien. She reprised the role in three sequels: Aliens (1986), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award Best Actress; Alien 3 (1992), and Alien: Resurrection (1997). She is also known for her starring roles in the box-office hits Ghostbusters (1984), Ghostbusters II (1989), and Avatar (2009).

Additionally, she has received three Emmy Award nominations and won two Saturn Awards.

I want to thank you for all the inspiration your movie Love Story gave to my son.

You see, most of his life I've lived without an immune system having encountered a bit of poison right after he was born. I have my ups and downs. But he still has faith when when I'm well and a new man comes into my life, they'll stay with me when I get sick however much that has always been proven to not be the case.

So, today, since I'm sick again, I was thinking as I often think, life is no Love Story, but I'm really glad you gave my son one to believe in. That means the world!

Thank you ~ Denise

I want to presume the faux election sign has reached your attention: Ripley-Hicks 2024. It’s the only way to be sure. I just saw it. I needed a good chuckle today and I got it.
