Sigourney weaver's marital bliss
LOS ANGELES: Sigourney Weaver says she still can't believe how lucky she was to marry her filmmaker husband Jim Simpson 25-years-ago because he was just what she was looking for.
Sigourney Weaver is still amazed how lucky she was to meet her husband.
The 'Avatar' actress - who has been married to her filmmaker husband Jim Simpson for 25 years - said she knew as soon as she met him that he'd end up being the one she'd spend the rest of her life with.
She said: "I'm in shock, and happy. I remember making a long list of what I wanted in someone - and I lost the list, but I found the guy. I think I knew him when I saw him. I had to ask him out. He was much too shy to ask me; I was a movie star."
Sigourney - who is a three-time Academy Award nominee - said Jim saw her just as she was, and not a famous actress, which was what had kept their marriage alive.
The 60-year-old American actress said: "He's really a regular guy. There's nothing slick about him. He's just very down-to-earth. He doesn't see that I'm getting older. He just sees me. I feel so lucky, because I never look in the mirror and go, 'Oh, I bet he thinks I should....'"
