TIL she doesn't use a stage name

It's sort of a stage name. It's a name she chose for herself.
Susan Alexandra Weaver was born in New York City on October 8, 1949,[4][5] the daughter of English actress Elizabeth Inglis (1913–2007)[6] and American television executive Pat Weaver (1908–2002).[7] Her father served as president of NBC from 1953 to 1955, during which time he created The Today Show.[8] Pat's brother, Doodles Weaver, was a comedian and contributor to Mad.[9] She is of Dutch, English, Scots-Irish, and Scottish descent through her father.[10][11]
At the age of 14, Weaver began using the name "Sigourney" after she took it from a minor character in The Great Gatsby.

Totally that ear ring is for sure faked. You know this might actually be AI even. Good job spotting the obvious fake.

That's a great yearbook quote for/from someone who ended up doing extraordinary things.
I mean yes, but also no. She's a total nepo baby. Her mom was a big actress and her dad was literally the president of NBC
Being a nepo baby doesn't give you talent. She did all the work, she just didn't have to spend a decade serving tables while waiting to be discovered. Nepotism sucks, but we shouldn't turn away genuinely hard working and talented people for it. It's more like a red flag that makes the nepo baby need to prove themselves, which she did.
there’s a couple nepo babies in Hollywood that I’m ok with. She’s one of them, Julia Louse Dreyfus is another one. I mean, granted going into acting and getting some success was not exactly due to straight up hard work, but there’s plenty of people in similar situations who don’t put in ANY work, don’t give us good performances and don’t support decent social causes..
I just can’t get angry just from where they came. I get angry with those that exploit and feel entitled simply due to their luck of birth.
So if you were her sibling you would have done much more extraordinary things?
I think you mean legacy artist. Nepo babies are the ones that can't act.
So, not normal
