My Take
Jenette Goldstein is one of those actors who quietly became a cornerstone of some of the greatest sci-fi films ever made, and I don't think she gets nearly enough credit for it. Her turn as Private Vasquez in Aliens is flat-out iconic — that character had so much swagger and grit that she walked away with a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress, which felt completely earned. Then she shows back up in Terminator 2 and Titanic, and you realize James Cameron just kept calling because she delivers every single time. What makes her story even more interesting is that she didn't just rest on a Hollywood career — she also built herself as an entrepreneur, which takes a completely different kind of nerve than staring down xenomorphs on a film set.
