Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver rewired what a Hollywood heroine could be, and I do not think the industry has fully repaid that debt. Her most famous roles were not written as feminist statements; she made them so through sheer presence, tall and intelligent and unglamorous when the part demanded it. What I admire even more is her range afterward: prestige drama, comedy, voice work, and blockbusters well into her seventies. The Stanford-educated discipline shows in everything she touches. She treats genre material with the seriousness of Chekhov, which is exactly why it endures. For my money, she is one of the most quietly influential actors of the past fifty years.
