Is that Frances McDormand in Aliens?
I can't swear to it, but it sure looked like her at that table.

IMDB doesn't seem to mention it, though. Unless I missed it.

2. Yes. But in France they don't call it a McDormand.
Oh, you know the line. :)

3. I was depressed after I watched Aliens.
Because in real life there are no giant aliens that eat their way out of your chest. And Sigourney Weaver isnt blowing shit up.

I just cant handle this non alien real life.

6. No, that's Paul Reiser.
Did you really watch Aliens? Or not so much?

10. She was not in Aliens.
At what time into the movie are you referring to? I have the DVD.

11. One of the bureaucrats at Ripley's debriefing very early in the film
The woman in question was sitting about two places to Ripley's right.

Something in the shape of her face is reminiscent of McDormands, though she'd only have been about 28 or so when Aliens was filmed.

12. The actress is Valerie Colgan. Credited as ECA Representative
Might have seen her in Saving Private Ryan. She played a War Department Clerk

13. Wait - hold on a minute - how could she be in World War II *and* in the far future?
I'm beginning to think that movies are lying to us. That they're just some kind of fiction perpetrated upon us in a giant conspiracy.
