Sigourney
After the Avatar premiere Leny, Jay and I went to Kozui for green tea lattes.
“You know where Sigourney Weaver got her screen name?” I asked.
“Where?”
“The Great Gatsby.”
Don’t you love it: a piece of trivia that links James Cameron with Scott Fitzgerald. In Chapter III of Gatsby, at one of the parties, Jordan Baker tells Nick Carraway to come see her. She tells him she’s in the phone book, “under the name of Mrs. Sigourney Howard. . .My aunt. . .”
Many of my friends refer to Meryl Streep as their mother; Sigourney is mine.
