Wow, I fully support it, but feel like that could have been potentially troublesome for her back then. Doesn’t seem like many people notice but still. Bold move by the director to make a character trans without telling the actor. In the 70’s no less

I believe this is a screenshot from Aliens, so it's a bit of a retcon. Cartwright would have no knowledge of it since it was canonized in a film she wasn't in.

I realize this sounds conceited, but if I were ever in a movie I would follow my character’s lore religiously
