Carrie Henn

Carrie Henn is an award-winning American actress who is best known for her role in the 1986 film Aliens. Despite the lack of acting experience, her performance helped her to receive second billing to her co-star Sigourney Weaver. Subsequently, Henn nabbed the 1987 Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actress. Though it looked like she had potential, she was unable to land other roles.

The inability to land more film roles certainly didn’t bother Henn, as this one-hit-wonder holds a Bachelor’s degree. She studied liberal studies and child development at California State University, and it might have been helpful during her life away from the limelight. After finishing her studies, Henn worked as a school teacher in California. Though it may not be as glamorous as being an actress, Henn can certainly share a couple of interesting stories during her time at the set of Aliens.
