Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron, is the sequel to the 1979 film Alien. The movie follows Ellen Ripley, the sole survivor of the previous encounter with an extraterrestrial creature, who is rescued after drifting in space for 57 years. Upon returning to Earth, Ripley is assigned to accompany a group of colonial marines to investigate a colony on LV-426, the same planet where the first Alien was encountered. Once they arrive, they find that the colony has been overrun by a deadly alien species, with the inhabitants either killed or taken as hosts. The marines face a terrifying battle against a growing alien threat. Ripley, who has a deep connection to a young girl named Newt, must protect her while fighting to survive against overwhelming odds. The film explores themes of survival, motherhood, and the human capacity for both bravery and fear. Aliens is known for its intense action, strong character development, and pioneering special effects, cementing its place as a sci-fi action classic. It was both a commercial and critical success, earning several Academy Award nominations.

She was a cover girl (plus pictorial) for the August 1983 for Playboy magazine. Sybil Danning made a welcome comeback by appearing as an evil Nazi villainess in the WEREWOLF WOMEN OF THE SS mock trailer for GRINDHOUSE, Nurse Wynn in Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN remake, and the villain in VIRUS X for Lions Gate. For the rock ‘n roll heavy metal band The Last Vegas, Sybil produced and starred in the horror music video “The Other Side”. Outside of acting, she has also worked on several movies as a producer and wrote the story and co-wrote the script for L.A. BOUNTY in which Sybil played a rugged lady bounty hunter character RUGER™.

Lynn’s biography in her own words: My name is Lynn Lowry and I’m an American-born actress who’s been performing, directing, and producing for about five decades. I’m best known for the cult classic horror films, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD, THE CRAZIES, SHIVERS, and CAT PEOPLE. But my professional career really began at seventeen when I acted opposite the sixteen-year-old John Belushi at the Shawnee Summer Theatre in Bloomfield, Indiana. Shortly after that I went to New York where I was cast in most of the cult classics but also starred opposite Peter Fonda in FIGHTING MAD, directed by Academy Award winner Jonathan Demme. I was a regular on the soap opera, HOW TO SURVIVE A MARRIAGE opposite F. Murray Abraham and Brad Davis and also acted in ANOTHER WORLD. While in New York, I studied all styles of theatre, finally becoming a producer and director at the off-Broadway theatre, The Production Company, and did three plays at the famed Manhattan Theatre Club.

In the past 20 yrs, I’ve been singing with my jazz trio in LA and doing a multitude of indy films. I’ve won 18 Best Actress Awards for my work in MODEL HUNGER, BASEMENT JACK, THE PERIPHERAL, READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP, FANG, and A HALLOWEEN FEAST as well as three Life Time Achievement Awards and the Lon Chaney Award for my contributions to independent film. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with George A. Romero, David Cronenberg, David E. Durston, Paul Schrader, Lloyd Kaufman and so many more wonderful directors. They provided me with a legacy that will never die. And that is priceless!
