Weaver doesn't battle her age
NEW YORK -- Despite Hollywood's obsession with youth, Sigourney Weaver has a healthy attitude about acting your age.
"I don't think you should try to hide your experience," she tells More magazine in its April issue. "My role model is Jessica Tandy, who was working while she was in her 80s. So 50 doesn't strike terror, for me. I don't feel I have an image to protect. I'm just a working actor."
Weaver, 51, has battled aliens in four "Alien" movies, busted ghosts in "Ghostbusters" and frolicked with gorillas in "Gorillas in the Mist."
She doesn't envy younger stars.
"I don't want their parts," Weaver says. "Let them have it; I've had it. I've always been cast for different reasons. I'm actually getting much more babelicious parts now -- look at 'Galaxy Quest.' ... I feel like 51 is nothing."
Her latest films are "Company Man" and "Heartbreakers" with Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Nothing romantic
RADNOR, Pa. -- Former "Survivor" contestant Rodger Bingham says his relationship with fellow castaway Elisabeth Filarski was never more than friendship -- even though she raised some eyebrows by calling him her "Outback daddy."
"It was never, ever like that," Bingham tells TV Guide Online. "It was like a father-daughter relationship. That's all it was. We got so close out there because she wanted to learn how to fish, so I taught her how. And I sort of took it upon myself to see that she didn't get hurt out there. We'll probably be lifelong friends."
Bingham, a 53-year-old Kentucky schoolteacher on "Survivor," was voted off the show during last week's episode of CBS' "Survivor: The Australian Outback." Filarski, a footwear designer from Newton, Mass., was voted off Thursday.
