LOS ANGELES — Sigourney Weaver, celebrated for her iconic roles in sci-fi classics like “Alien” and “Avatar,” has achieved another Hollywood milestone with a hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre.

She went on to say, “You know, if you’re gonna end up on your knees on Hollywood Boulevard, this is by far the best scenario,” she added, garnering laughter and applause.
