"SIGOURNEY WEAVER" SE ELEVA POR ENCIMA DEL DIRECTOR DE CINE "ROMAN POLANSKI" Y LA ESTRELLA "W TOBY JONES" EN EL FESTIVAL DE CINE".

"Six-footer Sigourney Weaver

towers above film director

Roman Polanski and

W star Toby Jones

at film festival".

"There was no doubt who was the star of the show at the Marrakech Film Festival last night. Towering about her male counterparts on stage, Sigourney Weaver was head and shoulders above everyone as she accepted an award at the annual Moroccan event".

"15.05.2010."At six foot high, the Alien actress dwarfed director Roman Polanski and W. actor Toby Jones, who both stand at 5'5".

"Dwarfed: Sigourney Weaver looks positively gigantic beside Roman Polanski (L) and W. star Toby Jones (R) at the Marrakech Film Festival".

"Despite her height, Weaver was given even more leverage with a pair of chunky white heels under her floor-length one shouldered electric blue gown. The 59-year-old was presented with the Hommage Award, in recognition of her contribution to the film industry, by her former director Polanski".

"The Polish film-maker directed Weaver and Ben Kingsley in the 1994 movie Death and the Maiden. Polanski, who directed Rosemary's Baby in 1968, is married to French actress Emmanuelle Seigner".

"His second wife, actress Sharon Tate was brutally murdered by the followers of Charles Manson in 1968 when she was eight months pregnant with their child. Also on hand to pay tribute to Weaver was her Infamous co-star Jones, who played Truman Capote in the 2006 film".

"Towering above: Polanski "L" presents Weaver with her award, as she is accompanied by co-star Jones "R".

"Earlier in the day, thousands of film fans travelled from all over Morocco to gather in Marrakech's famed Djeema el Fna square to watch all four Alien films back-to-back. Weaver said: 'I'm astonished they're going to see all four at once. I've never done that. I hope they have good, strong hearts. I hope the cobras enjoy the show".

"I wish I could've brought Jim Cameron, David Fincher and Ridley Scott to see this. Every director should see their films out in an open square under the stars in Marrakech. Joining Weaver on the red carpet was her husband of 24 years, director Jim Simpson".

"Longevity: Weaver and her husband Jim Simpson have been married for 24 years, an incredibly long marriage by Hollywood standards".
