It's sort of a stage name. It's a name she chose for herself.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigourney_Weaver
So... she has the second best stage name in the Weaver family.
NGL, Doodles Weaver is a pretty memorable name.
And she did a lot fewer recordings with Spike Jones and his City Slickers.
TIL it is a stage name
It's not her given name, but it's also not a stage name because it's a name she was using before she started acting.
TIL it's a name
it's crazy to think that someone would see the name at 14 and start using it their whole life. iconic. she had nothing to worry about with that attitude; she never had the chance to be normal.
