Small world: the filmography of Vasquez from "Aliens"
I was jaw-flapping with a pal last night about some of the more memorable bit players in movies. Without doubt, someone who probably doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (but in my opinion should) is the tough-as-nails, take-no-crap-from-anybody, check-these-one-hand-pullups female heavy machine gunner from Aliens.I always wondered what happened to Jenette Goldstein, aka Pvt. Vasquez of the Colonial Marines from "Aliens", and more so, what her body of work comprised of. Now that I think about it after snooping her on IMDB, she was the foster mom in Terminator 2, huh? Most people gravitate towards Bill Paxton's wise-cracking Hudson, and Vasquez did die; but in that film, she's the man. Figuratively speaking.

Hey yeah! That "was" her in Terminator 2. Funny thing was is that she had hair vs no hair in Aliens! Helluva movie! Whenever I hear someone say "Game Over man" I think of Bill Paxton freaking out over them aliens!
My favorite quote from the movie:
Newt: We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly.
Newt: We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly.
The other good one (featuring Vasquez):
Hudson: Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
Vasquez: No, have you?
