A little fun fact: My Dad took my Mom to see Aliens when she was pregnant with me, hoping that it would scare her into labor....It didn't work.
|
Do you have any idea or have you thought about where you were before being here? Do you have formed thoughts about where you are going when you leave your body and do you care?
|
I like the strong women you portray in your movies. What has been one of your favorite roles?
|
I live in Madrid and saw you filming a movie by the Italian embassy. I wanted to say hello but I didn't want to bother you. Also, where was Mr. Willis, he wasn't there that day. I hope the film does well and you were happy with the shoot. It was interesting to see you at work in person.
|
What do you do to create satisfaction for yourself in your life?
|
Greetings Sigourney, this is Carlos an American who resides in San Fabian, Pangasinan, Philippines. I had a crush on you for a number of years when I was in my 20's; you are a very beautiful woman with classic features and a great sense of style. You have incredibly lovely eyes and a wonderful smile. I just love your performance in the movie "Year of living dangerously", a film which successfully exudes the adventurous spirit of Southeast Asia. What did you enjoy most in the making of that film? Thank you and Merry Christmas!
|
I've always enjoyed watching you onscreen and only wish that you'd appeared in more features. Is there a film that you wish you had appeared in or that you strongly felt would have been perfect for you as an actress?
|
You have a captivating and outstanding voice, which has made watching the Planet Earth series even more of a pleasure for our family. Did you realize your voice work potential first or did someone "discover" the talent? Did you ever imagine that your voice was "bankable"? Would you ever choose to do narration over other jobs? Are you able to enjoy watching Planet Earth yourself, or are you like a lot of people who are uneasy listening to their own voice?
|
how do you feel about gay marriage?
|
Hi Ms. Weaver, I'm a fan from South East Asia, and I want to thank you for being a wonderful example for women all over the world on what it means to be strong, confident and self reliant. Your acting and movies leaves such a powerful impact on the audience that most times a lot of us wonder if we could ever achieve your stature.
|
I don't really have a question for you, just a note to let you know you have a huge fan base in our little corner of the world. Keep up the good work, and we are looking forward to seeing you again in Avatar's sequel.
|
Hi, Sigourney. My dad met your dad, in the 60s, when they were pioneering what's become cable TV. After their efforts were stymied by the networks, my dad started a TV station, in Atlanta, that Ted Turner turned into the Super Station. I see your dad lived long enough to witness the triumph of cable TV, as well as the rise of personal computers and the Internet. As one who suffered at the hands of the network monopolies, was he gratified, in the end, to see these developments?
|
Oh yes, I'm writing from Long Beach, California.
|
How does it feel to be forever known as Ripley? Do you enjoy the notoriety that came from playing that character or do you wish you could change that?
|
Thanks and happy holidays from Prague, Czech Republic!
|
If you have a chance to change something at our planet?
|
I, like many others, hope to see you included in a third Ghostbuster outing! Also, you are still the definition of a badass with Ripley from Camerons' Aliens. Thanks for being Amazing!
|

|

|
I am awaiting Sigourney Weaver’s replies.
|
I know you're busy with multiple film projects, but are you going to be doing any plays in the near future? Any at the Flea Theater? You have been my favorite actress since I was 16 and I would die happy seeing you act in a play. How is Mr. Simpson and Charlotte?
|
My question is: did making "Prayers for Bobby" gave you any additional insight about the coming out process or were you generally aware of the issues gay teens/people have to face?
|
You are one of my favorite actress' and I look forward to seeing You in "Prayers for Bobby". I love all of your movies but prefer seeing You in comedy roles more as I think those type roles personify your intellect and intelligence more clearly, but have to say also in action roles like "alien + " You are Hot !
|
Will You be doing more comedy work in the future ? and do You have a preference for roles or what inspires You to take one on?
|
I now realize that my faint attempt at combining humor and a compliment may have been in bad taste for this person. That said I apologize and pray that I may be forgiven. What I wrote was not intended as disrespect , but rather a compliment to someone whom I consider larger than Life.
|
P.S. My regards to CNN and Ms. Weaver and her family and thank -you for not publishing my comments/question which was late and also maybe in bad taste. As it becomes available to the public I hope to enjoy this aristocrats further contributions to humanity. God Bless. dp.
|
I am the composer of the musical work "Prayers for Bobby." It was just recently performed in both Boston and Philadelphia. I am trying to get out to California in June to see the Griffiths again. I would love to send you a copy of the recording from 1997 if you are so interested. Please let me know.

Coverage for millions of newly insured Americans requires a coordinated, multipronged approach, experts say.
|
Improving the health outcomes of the millions of low-income Americans of color who have recently gained access to health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act will take more than simply handing people an insurance card.
|
Right now, blacks have higher rates of cancer, diabetes, and other conditions than whites. For the U.S., reducing the health disparities between people of color and whites will require a coordinated effort that involves not only insurance companies and doctors, but community workers and faith-based organizations.
|
That was the key takeaway from Thursday's From Coverage to Care, a Next America event that convened a panel of experts to discuss ways to improve the health of low-income communities of color.
|
“We have to also think about what are the other factors,” said Dr. Nadine Gracia, director of the Office of Minority Health at the Health and Human Services Department.
|
Gracia, who delivered the keynote, and other panelists stressed the importance of cultural competency, having access to providers who not only speak your language, but who understand your background and beliefs.
|
“Coverage is just the first step,” Gracia said, noting that providers will need to understand the unique characteristics of the communities in which they work to be able to connect with patients.
|
Since the Affordable Care Act’s first enrollment period, the uninsured rate has dropped nearly 30 percent (12.3 percentage points) among Latino adults and 41 percent (9.2 percentage points) among black adults, resulting in nearly 7 million people gaining coverage, according to government data.
|
But the people who have gained coverage often have not navigated the country’s complicated health care system before, and the panelists who work with these communities said there is a lack of trust among many.
|
Dr. Ramanathan Raju, president and CEO of New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, said undocumented residents are often unwilling to give a valid phone number because they fear deportation.
|
To bridge such divides, Gracia and others suggested, health care providers need to meet people where they are; at barber shops and beauty parlors, for instance. Community organizers and churches have a role to play in educating people about how to navigate the health care system. McCrae Parker, managing director of ZeroDivide, which aims to use technology to foster change, said mobile technology—reaching out to people on their mobile phones and reminding them to exercise or take their medication, for instance—can help connect people to the health care system who have traditionally been on the margins.
|
Outreach and intervention, Gracia warned, will need to be tailored to each community. A remote Alaskan fishing community is not, she said, going to have the same needs as a Cuban community in Miami.
|
While targeted outreach efforts are already under way across both the public and private sectors, there are more entrenched issues that will take longer to address. There is a discordance between doctors and the communities that need care. There are not enough primary-care doctors in the places where people have gained coverage through the ACA, said Dr. Seiji Hayashi, executive vice president for transportation and innovation at Unity Health Care and a practicing physician. The people who are graduating from medical school, he added, do not look like the broader population.
|
Gracia, who drew on her personal experience as a Haitian-American helping her own family navigate the health care system, said that unequal access to quality education, housing, and nutrition are factors that need to be addressed to overcome the gaps in life expectancy and other health outcomes between whites and people of color.
|
The government, Gracia said, has invested billions of dollars in helping people connect with community health care workers who can link them to services, and launched a national effort to improve cultural competency. There is relatively new acknowledgement among government and the private sector that taking steps to improve other “social determinants,” such as high school graduation rates and early-childhood education, lead to better health outcomes. For example, there is a need for more data collection, the panelists agreed, and health disparities remain a persistent problem.
|
Calling those disparities “an anchor on our progress,” Gracia said they have cost the nation more than a trillion dollars. If the gaps in health outcomes shrink, she said, the overall economic health of the nation will improve.
|
The next open-enrollment period begins Nov. 1.
