Carrie Henn – 44 – Teacher

If you could only have one movie to your credit, you probably would want to give it your all. That was the case with Carrie Henn, although, of course, she did not know Alien was her only movie, as she wanted to act on many more films. She was initially scheduled to appear in the sequel Alien: Identity, but, sadly, the project eventually got cancelled. For her efforts, though, she won a Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor.

Carrie Henn was first discovered by casting agents when they took a photo of her at her school’s cafeteria in 1984. Many years later, she would go back to a school to pursue another passion: teaching. She now teaches elementary students at Shaffer Elementary School in Atwater, Californi, where she also resides. The former Alien star still gets in touch with her fellow cast members, especially Sigourney Weaver.
