The Best Action Heroes of the 1980s, Where Are They Now?

10. Sigourney Weaver

After her first film credit in Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, Sigourney Weaver shot to stardom at the tail end of the seventies when she starred as Ellen Ripley in Alien. A few years later — after the actress had proven her mettle in more hard-edged roles — Ripley got an action hero makeover in James Cameron’s Aliens. Her star continued to shine for years after, her natural talent earning her three Oscar nominations. These days, her ’80s roles are coming back to help out her out, as she’s set to reprise the role of Ellen Ripley in a potential new Alien film, she’s got a bit part in the new Ghostbusters film, and James Cameron is keeping her busy in all of the Avatar sequels.
