Just rewatched this movie after many years. It still holds up. Young Carrie's acting is superb.

[oubrioko]

I _mostly_ watch this at night . . . _mostly_

"Newt...my name's Newt. Nobody calls me Rebecca, except my brother."

[lionhart]

It's cool that Carrie Henn shows up at these events and seems to enjoy them. After hearing so many disaster stories about former kid actors, it's nice to see one who turned out well.

[sturmgesutz]

Newt has grown into a very genuine, level headed woman. Very down to earth. Carrie Henn's dream was always to be a teacher not a movie star, and she has achieved that, well done Carrie.

[alonzotanner]

She seems like a sweet gal. So much love for someone who only had ONE role at all in her entire filmography. What a great thing to do, go to these conventions and show up and giving so much respect to the fans cuz she is fanworthy.

Aliens 2 is my favorite movie of all time. Carrie (Newt) rocked! Sigourney Weaver (Ripley) "She had no weapons and no training" Bill Paxton "Well put her in charge!!" I just watched Aliens 2 yesterday for the billionth time. It never gets old. Best movie ever made. And that is a big statement, Terminator 2, Original Star Wars trilogy. Aliens 2 takes the title.

I'm was watching Aliens today and happened to do a search on the actors. Came across this, and I'm so glad I did. It's nice to see a child actor surviving Hollywood and have a good life. Carrie seems like such a fine person. Her students are lucky to have her. Thanks for posting this interview and thanks to Carrie for just being herself.

[brenthill]

She's one of the lucky ones who escaped from Hollywood.

[herbsuperb]

Her performance in Aliens is one of the most interesting, unlikely, spectacularly awesome things in the history of cinema. If her character (Newt) hadn't worked, the entire film would've been dragged down by it. I hope they never told her that, as it'd be a TON of pressure, but somehow, Cameron and his crew got an AMAZING and endlessly re-watchable performance out of her. It takes an extra-talented director to get that performance out of a kid that age with no acting experience. Some directors have it, some don't. Way to go, Carrie. You CRUSHED it!

[phenbuz]

She will never know how much is loved. I'll always love Newt and Aliens movies.

[LVEVL]

A legend. Did the greatest film of all time and bowed out.

[bluegalant]

Loved the 2 scenes where she made simple gestures but it had major impact: when she gave the "thumb-up" and when she saluted Bill Paxton.

[harveywittii]

I still have to say this. My favorite line is when Newt calls Ripley mommy

[mikebasil]

Thank you, Carrie. You were one of the most respectable child actresses I ever knew about thanks to your quite brave and special creation of Newt in Aliens.

[Dan.]

I just watched Aliens this morning and wondered what happened to the little girl. Glad to see she has led a normal life. Great movie.

[silviapinho]

"Aliens" was one of the best films I have ever seen and I've seen it so many times that I knew most of the lines by heart. Still love it.

[WilliamTheUnkownShoutout]

I just want to say God bless Carrie Henn and thank you so much Carrie Henn for doing a wonderful job as Newt the sole survivor of LV-426 in Aliens (1986) directed by James Cameron and Carrie Henn will be forever rememberd as both the greatest and the coolest child actress in Aliens (1986) the greatest sci-fi action and horror movie ever created and directed by James Cameron as well:).

[OGMangler]

In 1979 The alien creature was very original. When Aliens came out, I was 22 on my honeymoon. I was so pumped after the movie. To introduce the queen alien brought it to the next level. The Alien franchise will always be iconic. It will always be my favorite sci-fi franchise right along the side Avatar. I can't wait for the sequels of Avatar. I just finished watching Aliens. I think I'm going to watch Avatar for the 20th or 30th time. James, you are the man. Carrie, I have always adored you as Newt. This is the first time I have seen you all grown up. You are awesome. Good luck with your teaching career. I also work with school-age kids. It is a calling. I love what I do. I'm sure you do as well.

[UQuoZepplin]

OMFG!!!! Look at her now! How fantastic. She looks brilliant. I guess Sigourney must be like a second mother to her?
