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.
