If you have heard it all before, you can safely ignore this but I watched
the Biography channel last night and our Ms. Sigourney Weaver was on -
wooooohooooooo!

Did you know that originally the suggestion was for the actors in Alien to
be stark naked? Sigourney said "the spanish and catholics wouldnt have
approved, so it was decided we should cover up".

And just for you guys, the scene where Ripley is getting ready for
hypersleep, *she* was meant to be naked in that scene. When the Alien
moves, she shoots into the spacesuit locker. The Alien was meant to peek in
at her and be curious as to what that "pink and soft being was inside..."
".. a kind of *quasi-erotic* moment, but it would have ended up being an
hour long scene and we didnt have the time".

Also, the actor who played the alien (Bolaji Badejo) was picked for the fact
he does actually stand at 7ft tall.

Scott decided he wanted to play a trick on Weaver. As she is preparing for
hypersleep, Scott had told Badejo (in the Alien suit, of course) to jerk his
hand towards her as she touches a certain button. Weaver up til then hadnt
been told what was to happen next. Anyway, as Badejo jerks his hand, she
jumps back so violently, they kept that scene in - although Weaver had
nearly pooped herself.

Obviously, it all added to the final tense sequence...

Anyway, again, if you have hard it all before, you can quietly ignore
this....

Tracy - forever grasping at straws!!!!!

Hi Dom, will check out the Biography channel and let ya know! They do tend
to repeat regularly.
It was good, she also spoke of her reasons for AR - will have to watch the
bit I recorded to reiterate!

Felicity Kendall is gorgeous, there is no doubt about that :)))

Well as Covernant is always drooling over you,i figured your a stunning lady.

But then i guess that's a 'Sexist' thought so
i will go and stick my head in the gas oven.

B-B...www.brit-brat.com

Felicity Kendal is sweetly pretty and i,ve met her.

They do say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder :))

And on topic of Felicity - when and where did you meet her and how long ago
and is she as sweet and gentle in real life as she appeared in the Good
Life? She is a very cute lady. :)

Maybe Covenant's gone off to drool all over Felicity(who's sweetly pretty).

BTW...I met Felicity at a book signing session for her biography "White Cargo". :)

Then all I can say is, you guys must be major fans of TYO's - I watched
*every* single episode, but cant say I remember every line verbatim. Only
"Have we got a video?" and, and...... "Crop rotation in the 14th Century was
considerably....."

Oh dear, I must do more revision!!!!!!!.......
