Was Sigourney Weaver considered sexy in Alien?

Very sexless

She rocked that mullet!

I thought she was, but I'm a lesbian.

I imagine those broad shoulders and flat chest would have turned a lot of straight men off.

Those low slung panties emphasized her lack of ass.

No. It wasn't a T&A picture.

This lesbian thought so.

I don't think so but she was attractive.

The awful granny panties they put her in at the end attest that she was NOT being presented as a sex symbol.

She did have relatively long hair, but everything else was blue collar butch - appropriate to her job.

I often wonder about her as a sex symbol - I love her as a gay man but did straight guys really go for her? It always seemed strange that Bill Murray would be so hot for her in Ghostbusters. She is so tall and has very strange harsh features. I guess there's a scary dominatrix vibe that probably works for dudes, like those Helmut Newton photos or her shaved head in Alien 3 or the whip thing in The Ice Storm.

She was a handsome woman.

Her bottom teeth are distracting

Speaking of nepo babies...

r11 Bottom teeth? The technical term is "vagina dentata".

Yes, for me (gay man). Sexy because she was a fierce survivor, not because she was a bim.

The movie THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY has a humid, sexy atmosphere - which makes her seem kind of sexy, too. But usually she’s more academic or businesslike.

[quote]R12 Speaking of nepo babies...

Yes. Her mother acted for Hitchcock and her father was president of NBC. Like Goop, she’s the kind of performer who never had to struggle or even be a waitress, but could kill time at the spa or on a sailboat between auditions.

Nepo baby? Yes. But she formally trained at Yale and did experimental theater for a while. Something vapid, privileged loser nepos like GOOP and JLC never even bothered to try.

She seems lovely, is always interesting and embraces her extensive sci-fi pedigree with pride. I believe she’s the first Best Actress nominee for a sci-if/action film. Ripley is a beloved, legendary character and will be remembered longer and more fondly than most immediately forgotten Oscar-winning roles.

I'm a gay man who found her tremendously sexy. I emulated her as much as possible.

Her husband of four decades is surprisingly handsome.

Yes, she was and she showed off her perky tits.

I do remember being disappointed that she wasn’t more sensuous playing a call girl in “Half Moon Street” - but maybe I should rewatch it.

Back then I wasn’t impressed.

No, and that's why it was cool and she became a star.

I forget why she stripped down? Was it getting hot?

She was getting ready for bed. A lot of people sleep in their underwear.

R24, she was getting ready for nappy time after fighting an alien?

Well the straight guys in high school that I knew thought she was sexy in the white panties, no bra and fearless attitude.

As Ripley prepares for stasis, she discovers the alien has stowed itself in a narrow compartment. She dons a spacesuit...

she could be styled sexy and attractive.

God divides. If he makes you tall you get no tits.

She was a high school sci-fi nerd’s wet dream.

When I was going through a bad spell, I signed off, "Last survivor of the Nostromo" in a Email to a friend.

She looked very beautiful at times.
