Can You Tell Between These Iconic Figures And Their Celebrity Actors?
Sigourney Weaver As Dian Fossey In Gorillas In The Mist
Sigourney Weaver played the role of primatologist Dian Fossey in the 1988 film Gorillas in the Mist. The biopic told the story of Fossey’s work in Rwanda interacting with mountain gorillas. Weaver had to do the same while filming and she had a near fatal mishap when one of the apes suddenly attacked her.
Fossey had developed a love for animals while attending a veterinarian school and she later managed to talk paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey into funding her long-term study of gorillas. The film received five Academy Award nominations but it ultimately won two awards during the 1989 Golden Globe Awards.
