Colleagues on the shop envy her energy, optimism, sense of humor and the level of films. And the admirers of her talent dream to look just as young, and smart, like her. I wonder how she does it ?!
If you have been crossed ...
Journalists call the popular actress Sigourney Weaver an alien, although she always plays earthly women with an unusual fate. She was born in a wealthy family president of the popular American television and radio company NBC and a successful actress, but the barrier to success, recognition, glory was her unusual appearance for Hollywood. The high growth of the popular actress Sigourney Weaver significantly narrowed the possibilities of a successful engagement.

The directors did not know which picture to attach to the lanky daughter of President NBC. And the popular actress Sigourney Weaver continued to move towards her goal. I read a lot, I played in the theater, not thinking about failures, high growth and faculty. She wanted and did everything in order to realize the dream, squinting, making its way through disbelief, misunderstanding of others.
"At first I wanted to become a writer," Sigourney Weaver said. "But at the same time I always enjoyed the experience of being on stage." That is why some art at the university, where all the professors unanimously assured me of the complete absence of the slightest talent! At that time I did not aspire to become a famous actress. However, I wanted, at whatever cost, to join the theater troupe. The movie did not cause me much enthusiasm, especially since for four years no agent wanted to do me. "
Looking at the photo of the popular actress Sigourney Weaver, directors and producers admired her chiseled face, lively brown eyes, smart hair, but at personal meeting inevitably drooped - this will not make the girlfriend of the main character in melodrama.

And let this demanding taste, even snobbery, deprive Sigourney of work then, but now Hollywood, and the whole world knows: the popular actress Sigourney Weaver does not act in bad films. Now she herself is a producer, and she is invited to the jury of the most authoritative film festivals.

Then she added swimming, pilates and long walks. "I care about my body - it's my acting tool," says the actress. - I started attending the gym, doing exercises to strengthen the musculoskeletal system. I do not have a definite formula. In addition, perhaps, the fact that every day you need to do something useful for your health.
I have been going to the gym regularly for many years. And I do not just pedal, but I also train with dumbbells and a barbell. Of course, I'm not a professional bodybuilder, but there are some muscles.

Diet? Is in pleasure!
Slender Sigourney Weaver, as her husband, theater director Jim Simpson, testifies, has an enviable appetite at any time of the day. True, because of the tight schedule of filming and voice acting, the actress eats when she can, and not when. But in its diet there is no flour and milk, it reasonably combines meat (prefers veal, beef, turkey and salmon) and vegetables.

"The most beautiful day for me is spent at home with my husband, our dogs, my daughter and her friend," Sigourney shares. - I like our picnics very much. We just take the hamburgers, and then we go to swim. We try to leave the city in the summer. We go to the state of Wyoming, we get into the very backwoods and live there in the tent. After a few weeks, when you return to New York and turn the tap, and from there the water flows, you rejoice like a child! My husband would like to live in a village, for me it would be difficult - I too like to communicate with people. "
Recipe for peace of mind from Sigourney Weaver:
"Forgiveness is an amazing thing, that in a movie, that in life. It seems to me that this is the most powerful act a person can do. For example, I managed to forgive two teachers who said that I do not have talent, and nothing will ever come of me. It took some effort, but I did it. And then the feeling was amazing. In the next few years, we all have to forgive each other. People have risen on different sides of the barricades, and this is not the most constructive thing. "
Remember the terrible episode from "Alien", when the yellow matter dripping from the monster's mouth, with hissing corrodes the floor of the spacecraft? For many, he remained in his memory for a long time. The secret of the scene is simple: masters of special effects have built decks and partitions of ... wafers. Them something and "corroded" the tinted yellow water. Yes, only people do this movie. Such as the inimitable Sigourney.
