“As an actor’s challenge, it’s remarkable. We’re going to have a 60-year-old actress playing a character [decades younger] her real biological age. Sig thought you were very funny. Sigourney became younger. She looked younger, she had more energy, and she never left Kiri throughout the filming period. She had a light on her face, a lightness in her step and a funny spirit ”.
