** The reason she has a cameo in ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods''? She wanted to do a scene with [[spoiler: a werewolf]].
** She was convinced to do ''Film/AlienResurrection'' after reading the scene where Ripley discovers the seven failed attempts at cloning her, as well as getting a love scene with the aliens (something she had been pressing to do since the third film).
** A major reason for signing onto ''{{Film/Heartbreakers}}'' (besides finding the script funny) was Max singing "Back in the USSR" in a Russian restaurant.

** ''Half Moon Street'' is known entirely for the plentiful nudity from Sigourney, as she plays a woman who moonlights as a hooker.
** ''{{Film/Heartbreakers}}'' is also known for both Sigourney and Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt walking around in form-flattering dresses.
* BillingDisplacement: Exploited for ''Alien'' where she is billed second after Tom Skerrit. She was an unknown at the time and the cast were killed off based on how [[DeadStarWalking famous they were]]. As the film turned Sigourney into a star, this effect is lost on modern viewers.

* DyeingForYourArt:
** Shaved her head for ''{{Film/Alien3}}''. In fact one of the reasons she signed on for the film was David Fincher suggesting Ripley be bald. But her young daughter didn't like her being bald, so she wore a wig when off set. Months later when re-shoots were to be done, her hair had grown back and she refused to shave it off again. So an expensive bald cap was made.
** She dyed her hair red for ''{{Film/Avatar}}''.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Bryan Singer's original vision for ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' would have had Sigourney playing Emma Frost. If that's hard to picture, her character in ''{{Film/Heartbreakers}}'' is quite similar.
** Ripley was originally going to be shown fully nude in the climax of ''{{Film/Alien}}'' as she changes into the spacesuit. The alien was even going to be DistractedByTheSexy for a moment. Producers were anxious about the film getting banned in other countries and had Ripley wearing underwear (other scripted nude scenes were cut as well). Sigourney initially felt it was a cop-out, but later said it was for the best (imagining the amount of lewd fan mail she'd have inevitably gotten).
** An early idea for ''{{Film/Alien 3}}'' was to be a two-part movie - with Sigourney only making a cameo appearance in the first part (Ripley being left comatose) and focus switching to Creator/MichaelBiehn as Hicks. Some drafts considered dropping her altogether, as they weren't sure whether Sigourney would commit to a third film.

Her reprisal of the Ripley character is culturally significant; although mothers in films were respected before ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', after Ripley's courageous rescue of Newt from the taloned grasp of the Alien Queen in 1986 [[MamaBear filmmakers began taking mothers seriously as warriors]].
