Carrie Henn and the Aliens
The 1980s were an exciting decade for science fiction films, and Aliens was one of the decade’s finest offerings. That’s a lot to say for a follow-up, but it was a science fiction action picture with two female protagonists, unheard-of. Newt’s role as Carrie Henn would be her only significant performance outside voice acting on Thunder Island.
She has been seen in various films, including Step Brothers 2 and The Vampire Diaries. She’s also been on Netflix’s Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, which will debut later this year. She appears as herself at various conventions, such as Comic-Con and Sinister Creature Con, and in documentaries about the Alien franchise. She abandoned Hollywood to pursue her passions full time, but her Instagram frequently pays homage to her days on LV-426.
