    People know perfectly well what a nepo baby is. She’s not the only person in the world who had the same (or even better) opportunities. Her accomplishments are still extraordinary.

    Everyone has to play the hand they’re dealt. She’s played hers far better than most. That’s what people are acknowledging.

    This whole game of “she owes everything to her parents” is BS because countless other people have been born to privilege and accomplished NOTHING.

      And a overwhelmingly larger number of people were born to abject poverty and got nowhere despite great talent and effort.

        Right and that’s a tragedy. But that doesn’t take anything away from Sigourney Weaver’s achievements. Even if everyone on earth was born into a Star Trek techno-utopia with no poverty or war or disease, with every opportunity available to everyone, her achievements on the screen would still be extremely impressive.
