Weaver was born Susan Alexandra Weaver in Manhattan, New York City, the daughter of Elizabeth Inglis (née Desiree Mary Lucy Hawkins; 1913–2007), an English actress, and the NBC television executive and television pioneer Sylvester "Pat" Weaver (1908–2002). Her uncle, Doodles Weaver (1911–1983), was a comedian and actor. She began using the name "Sigourney Weaver" in 1963 after a minor character (Sigourney Howard) in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby.

Weaver attended the Ethel Walker School, a girls' preparatory school in Simsbury, Connecticut. She also attended The Chapin School. Sigourney was reportedly 5′ 10½″ (179 cm) tall by the age of 14, although she only grew another inch during her teens to her adult height of 5′ 11½″ (182 cm).

Weaver has been nominated three times for an Academy Award, three BAFTAs (one win) and seven Golden Globes (two wins). She has also earned Tony and Drama Desk nominations for her work on the stage.

His older brother was Sylvester "Pat" Weaver who served as the President of NBC in the 1950s. Weaver's niece was actress Sigourney Weaver. Weaver was given the nickname "Doodlebug" by his mother when he was a child because of his big ears and freckles

#4 A modified M141? Kinda gray market there, I'm surprised they are still around. Many of these pieces were illegally modified for automatic deep-fat-fry, which is kinda overboard if you ask me.

#10 Waay back before the 1990s, pole dancing was not a kind of actual dancing, but referred to another type of mutual human activity.

#12 Noticed Elizabeth Inglis in a 1940 film called "River's End" on TMC. She was so cute I looked her up on IMDB and found out she was Sigorney's mom.
