Hump Day Hottie, Sigourney Weaver

Happy 59th (!?!) birthday to filmdom's most beloved Amazon, Sigourney Weaver. Apparently the Film Experience has turned into MILF central this week. Or even GILF central what with that Grand Guignol post --not that obsessing on maturing divas hasn't always been an [ahem] ...preference. predilection. pleasure.

<--- To quote 30Rock's wicked MILF Island approval catchphrase

"You've kept it tight."

So here's to Ms. Weaver. May her reunion with James Cameron in 2009's Christmas offering Avatar (2009) reignite interest in both of their once titanic careers. In addition to that long awaited action flick next year, Sigweavie will also be co-starring in the Tim Allen (ewww) comedy Crazy on the Outside and she's got the lead role of a devout Christian mom in the adaptation of the non-fiction gay centered book Prayers for Bobby. She might even be doing a Gypsy Rose Lee film for television next year --not that that story is crying out for yet another film, stage or tv interpretation.

Even if these four projects don't amount to a lot it'll be nice to have her back in a fuller way. Streep and Dench can't really hog every role intended for older women, now can they? They aren't right for everything. Sometimes you've just gotta have a slightly intimidating, carnal, intelligent and statuesque brunette warrior in your film.


Sometimes nothing else will do.

Share your favorite Sigourney star turn in the comments. Or your second favorite if you're all going to scream "RIPLEYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyy"
