@@faisalmemon285you mean, because of the aliens? Not really. She would actually sit and play with the guy who dressed as alien to "capture" her in the water. If she had it, it was not because of the aliens.
Although Henn left acting and became a school teacher, she attended the 30th Anniversary Comic-Con in San Diego with the cast and in 2020 was the lead voice-over character in the animated adventure Thunder Island. She is also active on Twitter and loves being remembered by Aliens fans.
You can tell in this interview she is not a "Hollywood kid" at all, who tend to be unnaturally precocious and are always "on" when being interviewed. Probably the best thing she did was not be a child star.
I think you can see in this video already that Carrie Henn felt that the show business wasn't for her. She went on to become an accomplished school teacher, which is testament to the fact that you should follow your own way in life.
Carrie Henn is an incredible human being and an amazing child actress. Her character honestly deserved so much more than whatever Alien³ was. Newt could have easily been just as iconic to the Alien franchise as John Connor is to the Terminator one.
@@skycloud4802 and I'm totally good with it. Alien 3 was made in 1992 - that means Carrie would be 6 years older. Since she was in her cryopod, it wouldn't make any sense and they would have to cast another girl for that role. And THAT would be a TOTAL disaster.
@@ur1el554 Aliens was her only acting credit. I'd heard she later became a school teacher, but you probably already heard that she'd done a little acting work as a child in a major motion picture . . . There is a short interview that Kevin Smith did with her at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con on her IMDb page . . .
Carrie has on a lot of makeup as Newt who is the "crazy sole survivor in a ventilation duct after months of hiding from the monsters". She doesn't here and so looks normal.
The way the space marines got slaughtered made no sense. And the fact they weren’t briefed on what they were facing and the poor discipline…they were a terrible bunch of marines.
@@jenniturtleburger3708Girl, they were aliens. ALIENS AGAINST MARINES. THESE ALIENS ARE BULLET PROFF, THESE ALIENS ARE SMART AND STRONG ASF. Yes, Ripley outsmarted ONE alien in the first movie. She barley made it! The ones in aliens had better living conditions, so there for they would be stronger and better. Aliens is an amazing movie and will forever be iconic, thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing this. It's damn near impossible to stumble across old stuff like this online even though people assume everything is easy to come by on the internet. I bet even GMA doesn't keep these old tapes. It's rare to see the kind of authenticity they shared on screen, rare enough that you take it for granted sometimes. Carrie was so young and uninitiated as an actor that she couldn't help but come across as a genuine little girl, and you can tell from the way Sigourney talks about it that it affected her own acting. And they shared that authenticity offscreen too. I was a few years younger than Carrie when the movie released, and it wasn't hard to see why she naturally gravitated to Sigourney because she's a legend. Yeah, I saw a dark R-rated sci-fi action horror film as young boy (80s kids were built different, haha) and in some sense it was easier to relate to the intensity of the movie because it was like I was seeing the story through Carrie's perspective as a fellow kid, and I felt exactly the same way towards Ripley that Newt did. 🥰
All about the money. The suits at Fox didn't want to pay Michael Biehn or Henn. They were written out of Alien 3. The whole shoot of Alien 3 was a dog's breakfast for director Fincher due to meddling from management.
What’s Alien 3 & 4? Heck what’s AVP?, Prometheus etc.. The whole story finished on the Sulaco, peacefully sleeping in hypersleep (Although I enjoyed the Dark Horse Comics)
as a brit I always thought she were english because I could hear it in her accent but just read she's american but spent her childhood in england, she should have been in more movies!
This is probably the most wholesome experience for a young actress, to come out of Hollywood. 👀 Props to both Sigourney and Carrie for their work. Aliens is one of my favorite movies of all time.
They might as well have come up with a reason why Newt couldn't be woken up from the cryopod, like a malfunction that could only be repaired elsewhere as they didn't have the tech in the prison planet. Ripley could've had a monologue by the pod and at the end Weyland would've hauled her away to fix it. Then it would have opened the possibility to have Newt back as an adult for Alien 4 .
this is so heartwarming too see & listen to. Carrie's voice is exactly the same in Real-life (back then) as it is in the movie, wich makes it even more realistic. Aliens... one of my top favorite movies. Thanks to every one in the movie & who helped making it. Much love from Sweden.
Carrie is surely due some credit. A lot. Because if her character hadn't worked, the whole movie would've been dragged down by it. I hope they never told her that 🙂. But due credit MUST also go to Cameron and his team. To get that kind of performance out of a kid who has never acted professionally before, requires a very special kind of talent which some directors have (Richard Donner) and some do not (George Lucas). Working with kids well, and getting this kind of performance out of them, is a gift. Spielberg is another that clearly knows how to work with kids.
I read that one of the reasons Carrie got the part was that she never smiled during auditions and that was what they were looking for as the other child actors were coached to smile all the time. This is the reason Joan Lunden seemed to be having a difficult time pulling answers out of an eight year old child. By the way, Carrie never pursued acting as an adult, but is now a school teacher in her community.
If you had just turned this interview on without knowing the subject matter you’d think Ms Weaver and her daughter were being interviewed … Great relationship they have ..
Exactly my thought too. Their chemistry in the movie was uncanny, the parts were so well-written and well-performed, and seeing it continue off-screen is really heartwarming.
I love this. I've never seen this interview. All we ever hear about is how Drew Barrymore felt making ET. I hope this interview is on a future video release
During her student times, even her best friend didn't knew, that she was in a famous movie. The friend found out, when she was on a cover of a magazine. She absolutly enjoys her normal life!
I always have felt so identified with Newt (Carrie Henn) I mean we were the same age when this movie came out, I'm also from '76 like her, I always have liked Sigourney, although at that time I was just a child spellbounded with Star Wars
This is what made this movie so special!! The way SW treated Newt was so very special !!! She made this movie great just being the person that she is !!! The commitment between those two was just awesome !!! Newt really was a very brave kid !!! The movie was awesome and then you have these two who were absolutely fantastic together and the mother role that SW played just made me want them to survive even more !!! Those two really made this movie better, being that SW would do everything in her power to make sure that Newt came out of this alive at any cost, the sacrifice's made by SW just cut right to the heart !!! I can't say enough about this movie aside that it was just great !!!
@@raresaturn Have you seen how Drew Barrymore spiraled into drugs staring during her childhood ? Macauley Culkin? Corey Feldman? And that's only those who managed to survive being put through the ringer.
Never acted before and not since. The only role was playing the part to perfection in one of the greatest movies ever. Talk about going out on top at 10!
Carrie seems like a typical actor, very bold when reading lines but quiet and shy when using her own words, although being on a TV show is probably pretty intimidating.
I'll always remember James Cameron telling the story of putting Carrie in the alien "resin" near the end of the movie when Ripley was looking for her. Cameron said he was going on and on, telling her not to move because if "resin" broke, they'd have to redo it all and start over. After he got done ranting, she said to him, "It should be illegal to treat children this way." lol
Kids are always so honest, so that explains her somewhat British accent in Aliens.. I heard the kid they played Danny in Shining wasn't scared during filming either, Stanley Kubrick just made up stories to the kid when doing diff takes. Also soundtrack plays a huge part of the finished movie.

Sigourney comes across as beautifully protective of Carrie, much as she was in her film role. Heartwarming sensitivity and bonding.
that is exactly what I was thinking and feeling! Sigourney is so super great all over and Carrie did so fantastic in her role
I heard Carrie Henn had a lot of bad PTSD from this movie.

She wasn't exactly in love with the camera here.
After starring in one of the greatest action films of all time, where else are you gonna go?
She was smart enough to realize the deal satan was offering wasn't worth it
@@DREADEYE_KNIGHTyea honestly and fame for what?
Agreed, but she is still Newt. Now and forever. Her and Ripley.
Carrie was perfect for the role as Newt. She brought out the fierce maternal instinct in Ripley.

God bless Sigourney Weaver and Carrie Henn both of them did a wonderful job in Aliens (1986) directed by James Cameron as well:).
Carrie Henn is an incredible human being and an amazing child actress. Her character honestly deserved so much more than whatever Alien³ was. Newt could have easily been just as iconic to the Alien franchise as John Connor is to the Terminator one.
She had the opportunity to do more, but, as she got older she preferred teaching and pursued that instead.

I believe that’s why they hired her.
Amazing what a clean set of togs n a washed barnet can do.

Carrie Henn nailed that part - amazing contribution to the film - best scream ever! Odd to see how very shy she really is in this interview.
This is just heart melting. This film is a masterpiece
That music over the reactor melting down was worth the trip
Wow, Carrie is just so quiet... She got out of Hollywood at the right time and made some great of herself by becoming a teacher.
This young lady grew up to be a good teacher.
You could see that Sigourney Weaver was an exceptional Role Model for young Carrie Henn. 👍🏼👍🏼
They did her dirty in aliens 3 and hicks too.
Right
Alen 3 an 4 were trash
Such wasted opportunities
All about the money. The suits at Fox didn't want to pay Michael Biehn or Henn. They were written out of Alien 3. The whole shoot of Alien 3 was a dog's breakfast for director Fincher due to meddling from management.

What a gorgeous lady Sigourney is and what a sweet little girl Carrie is!! And what a fabulous interview!!! 🌺💐🌺💐❤️❤️
I love this! Aliens is a masterpiece!
I can see why they picked Carrie. Her timid and quiet demeanor suited her character well.
Newt is far from timid, she was simply wise from life experience.
Right if they'd picked a confident outspoken child like someone straight outa drama school eg emma watson it would have ruined the film somewhat
Always felt this was a key part of the movie. You could tell she protected that little girl in real life too.
Newt was hands down one of the best characters in the entire franchise. She deserved a better conclusion than Alien³
1000% agree
They might as well have come up with a reason why Newt couldn't be woken up from the cryopod, like a malfunction that could only be repaired elsewhere as they didn't have the tech in the prison planet. Ripley could've had a monologue by the pod and at the end Weyland would've hauled her away to fix it. Then it would have opened the possibility to have Newt back as an adult for Alien 4 .
Love ❤ Sigourney Weaver. Very gracious and kind. And her performance in Aliens should have won an Oscar.
this is so heartwarming too see & listen to.
Carrie's voice is exactly the same in Real-life (back then) as it is in the movie, wich makes it even more realistic.
Aliens... one of my top favorite movies.

Sigourney is so lovely. You can tell she would be such a good friend.
Carrie is surely due some credit. A lot. Because if her character hadn't worked, the whole movie would've been dragged down by it. I hope they never told her that 🙂. But due credit MUST also go to Cameron and his team. To get that kind of performance out of a kid who has never acted professionally before, requires a very special kind of talent which some directors have (Richard Donner) and some do not (George Lucas). Working with kids well, and getting this kind of performance out of them, is a gift. Spielberg is another that clearly knows how to work with kids.
