SIGOURNEY WEAVER Eludes the Image Police
IT WOULD BE TOO EASY, PERHAPS sound trite and in any case introduce a bad pun to call the actress Sigourney Weaver a woman of many parts, even though, in more ways than one, she is. So think of her instead as the sum of her contradictions. They begin to suggest themselves in a first sighting. The scene is the cozy but opulent lobby of a hotel on Central Park South on a rainy November morning. The brass doors open, letting in a puff of chilly air followed by the strikingly erect Ms. Weaver herself, sweeping in with a small entourage for yet another interview to promote her new movie, Alien Resurrection, her fourth go-round as that fiercely intelligent and sinewy dragon slayer from space, Ellen Ripley..

Review/Film; Dave, a Prince-and-Pauper Switch
When Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) finds Secret Service agents in his living room, he thinks their presence must have something to do with his tax returns. He is much too naive to realize that because he looks exactly like Bill Mitchell, the President of the United States (also Mr. Kline), he can be used to impersonate the President while greeting foreign dignitaries, throwing out ceremonial baseballs, reading from a hidden Teleprompter as he talks to the press, and of course kissing babies. Dave is also too innocent to think that duties like these constitute the most influential part of the Presidents job. But audiences may feel otherwise, which is the joke at the heart of Dave, Ivan Reitmans glossy, energetic new Washington comedy. If President Mitchell is cynical enough to have his pets on call for photo opportunities -- and to turn them over to handlers immediately after the cameras stop flashing -- then a Dave might just be invaluable. That is, once he stops looking around the White House in astonishment and trying to take home souvenirs.

Exodus: Gods And Kings: SIGOURNEY WEAVER On The Story/Script
SIGOURNEY WEAVER in Alien Terrain. Yet Again
Sigourney Weaver has her hair back. It is fashionably short -- a sort of 1920s flapper cut -- but thick and lustrous, an elegant crown for her stern patrician bearing. Her lanky frame folded on the couch of a Manhattan hotel suite set aside for an interview -- the afternoon rate, Ms. Weaver says -- she runs a hand over her scalp and recalls, a little wistfully, her brief tenure as a Sinead OConnoresque near-skinhead. As watchers of movie trailers know, Ms. Weaver was shaved almost to baldness to reprise once again her role of Ellen Ripley, the unassuming Wonder Woman who did futuristic battle with the title characters in Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986).

She blazed across the cosmos wielding a flamethrower against deadly extraterrestrials in Aliens. She ran roadblocks under fire and conducted a steamy Indonesian affair with Mel Gibson in The Year of Living Dangerously. And in Ghostbusters, she was a cellist plagued by evil spirits who possessed her kitchen appliances - and then possessed her. In a series of successful movies, Sigourney Weaver has become a screen icon to millions of Americans. The exquisitely chiseled face, the legs that any self-respecting Rockette would die for, the cool intelligence that even the dumbest script cant disguise have combined to make the 37-year-old Ms. Weaver one of the most successful actresses of her generation, not to mention the kind of sex symbol who makes mens eyes glaze.

Review/Film; Saving Africas Gorillas
LEAD: When Sigourney Weaver, as the naturalist Dian Fossey, is first seen arriving in Africa, she towers over everyone else in view. A trim, impatient, utterly confident white woman, she is instantly at home giving orders to the impoverished black tribesmen who gather around her. This supreme self-assurance of Miss Weavers, sometimes less than helpful in other films, is perfect for Gorillas in the Mist, the story of a smart, determined, well-bred and physically commanding woman who brooks no frailty in others.

SIGOURNEY WEAVER
On screen, Sigourney Weaver has never been much of one for saying she was sorry. Her résumé of roles is heavy on women less likely to sit back and sigh over regrets than to wrestle with nasty space creatures or romp with gorillas. So it was a jolt when Ms. Weaver, wearing country club pastels and a blush of demureness, tiptoed onto the stage of a tiny theater in TriBeCa last spring in a fluttery breeze of apologies. Portraying the title character in Mrs. Farnsworth, A. R. Gurneys genteelly subversive comedy about a Connecticut matron with an explosive political secret, Ms. Weaver quickly made it clear that she could render passive, polite and penitent just as appealingly as she embodied active and Amazonian in the movies. Now she has returned to the Flea Theater to assert her ownership of the most captivating portrait in Mr. Gurneys gallery of WASP heroines of bad faith and good manners. Directed by her husband, Jim Simpson, Ms. Weaver flirts slyly with caricature only to lead you into unexpected backroads of character. By the way, Mrs. Farnsworths secret has something to do with a man of power named George. It is presumably no coincidence that Ms. Weaver steps back into the play (through Nov. 6) for the month before the presidential elections (1:30). (This weekends schedule: tonight at 7 and tomorrow at 3 and 7 p.m., Flea Theater, 41 White Street, TriBeCa, (212) 352-3101. Tickets: $50 to $60.) BEN BRANTLEY
