Sigourney Weaver reveals that she feel sorry for actresses who never became mothers.

Weaver has had a career that has spanned forty years and a string of iconic roles, but she has juggled that acting success with being a parent.

Weaver became a mother back in 1990, when she and husband Jim Simpson welcomed their daughter Charlotte into the world.

Speaking to HELLO magazine, the actress said: "I feel sorry for women like Katherine Hepburn. She might have won four Academy Awards but she never got to enjoy what it is to be a mother. I find that very sad."

And the actress says that it has been a balancing act between her career and being a mother, but it is all about 'teamwork' with her husband.

"I have a wonderful husband who's helped out a lot when I was working. I think teamwork is key if you want to have a career in Hollywood."

And Weaver shows no sign of slowing down as she has a whole host of projects in the pipeline.

She will be back on the big screen this December with Exodus: Gods and Kings, which sees her team up with Ridley Scott and Christian Bale.

She has also completed work on Chappie and is currently filming A Monster Calls.

We are also set to see the actress return to the Avatar franchise when camera start rolling on the highly anticipated sequels.
