Caroline Marie “Carrie” Henn is an American actress best known for her role as Rebecca "Newt" Jorden in the movie "Aliens." Her performance as Newt, a resilient and resourceful child survivor, earned praise and left a lasting impact in the science fiction genre. Following her role in "Aliens," Henn pursued interests beyond acting, ultimately transitioning away from the film industry.
James Cameron’s “Aliens” (1986) is a pinnacle of science fiction storytelling. Within this classic monster movie lies a powerful female character, Ellen Ripley (brilliantly portrayed by Sigourney Weaver).
Ripley is a great character because she serves two distinct, but rewarding, purposes in the original film and the sequel.
