Sigourney Weaver has revealed a doctor once tried to talk movies with her while giving her a gynaecological exam.
The Hollywood actress says Los Angeles is so obsessed with showbusiness that even the most professional of people want to discuss her celebrity lifestyle with her.
She said: "I was once getting a gynaecological exam and the doctor said: 'I've written a script.'"
The 55-year-old also says she doesn't really being in Hollywood, saying: "I'd rather work for a florist."
Last year, it was revealed Sigourney was set to travel into space.
The 'Alien' star asked British business tycoon Sir Richard Branson if she can be one of the first passengers on his Virgin Galactic flight, which is set to blast off in 2008.
She is said to be prepared to splash out a reported £115,000 for a seat to experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
A source said at the time: "We'd be delighted to take Sigourney back to visit the Aliens."
A spokesperson for Virgin confirmed: "Discussions are taking place."Passengers on the flight will be blasted 70 miles above Earth, where they will enjoy six minutes of breathtaking views and weightlessness before returning home.
Seven thousand people - including 'Star Trek' actor William Shatner and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro - have already registered their interest in the trip, although they do not have to pay deposits until later this year.
