Despite Hollywood's obsession with youth, Sigourney Weaver has a healthy attitude about acting your age.
"I don't think you should try to hide your experience," she tells More magazine in its April issue. "My role model is Jessica Tandy, who was working while she was in her 80s. So 50 doesn't strike terror, for me. I don't feel I have an image to protect. I'm just a working actor."
Weaver, 51, has battled aliens in four "Alien" movies, busted ghosts in "Ghostbusters" and frolicked with gorillas in "Gorillas in the Mist."
She doesn't envy younger stars.
"I don't want their parts," Weaver says. "Let them have it; I've had it. I've always been cast for different reasons. I'm actually getting much more babelicious parts now — look at 'Galaxy Quest.' . . . I feel like 51 is nothing."
