The three-time Academy Award-nominee talks with "Sunday Morning" anchor Jane Pauley about the lesson she learned from attending Yale's School of Drama; her launch into stardom as Ripley in the "Alien" franchise; and the secret of her Hollywood longevity.

    She should have already won an Academy Award

    Low key, one of cinema's greatest icons.

    Love her! Boy aging gracefully, and looks beautiful for 72 years old!

    Sigourney is one of a kind. She brings such energy to the screen, since Alien and many more!

    Sigourney was at Yale studying acting with Meryl Streep. A fellow student stated that Meryl was lauded by teachers and Sigourney was constantly put down.. I’m glad Sigourney stuck in there and found success.

    I love her versatility as an actress. I love all of Sigourney Weaver's performances.

    One of my favorite actresses, who continues to work steadily in a variety of genres. She's selective about the roles she chooses based on the story, which has served her well as she isn't defined by any particular genre. Whether on screen in dramatic, action or comedic performances or narrating a docu-series, it always feels like Sigourney Weaver provides an "intelligent", thoughtful performance.

    Sigourney Weaver is an amazing actress! She can bring the scary and then turn around and bring the funny. She made me scream with laughter in "Heartbreakers" and my favorite of ALL TIME "Galaxy Quest"🍿🎬📽️

    I love her humility at the end with Jane’s compliment. ❤

    I will always love her. That scene in Aliens where she 'communicates' with the Queen is one of the greatest scenes in a film. She should've won that Oscar.

    I love her so much! She is an icon and national treasure.

    Her portrayal of Diane Fossey in Gorillas In The Mist was really doing God's work as an actress (and Alien probably the future of space work, low wage workers facing whatever terrors corporations pit them against). A legendary career. The great Sigourney.

    She is an absolute class act. I just love who she is. A non nonsense sensibility in the best way. Unbelievable she is 73. Such vitality and interest in creation. You are an inspiration Sigourney 💜

    I love this woman and her being true to herself and not letting past negative experiences shape her. Aliens is one of my all time favorite movies💪🥰

    Weavers portrayal of the vapid ,using boss in working girl with Melanie Griffith was iconic . Yes it was a comedy , but she phrased her commands “Tess” perfectly. We just hated her character - such a good actress.

    72? really? I am shocked by that one. I thought she was my age 61. She is so multi functional and multi faceted ....she sure ages well! Fabulous Actress.

    'A year of living dangerously'. I can't believe this interview didn't bring this up. It made her as a star.

    She's worked in every single genre of film. An underappreciated gem.
