Sigourney Weaver laments the lack of female directors
The iconic 74-year-old's career stretches back to the 1970s when she started out in theatre before breaking into film with a role in 1977's Annie Hall. She became a breakout star playing Ellen Ripley in Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror Alien in 1979 and returned to the role for three subsequent sequels. Speaking to Deadline at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday, Sigourney reflected on her career and lamented, "In my experience, one thing I'm really missing is women directors and writers. That was true for a long, long time."
