Sigourney Weaver John Lennon Letter: A Lavender Memory from the Height of Beatlemania
Sigourney Weaver reveals her secret 5-page letter to John Lennon written in purple ink. Discover her memories of the 1964 Beatles concert and her life as a Beatlemania fan.
The sci-fi icon who faced down Xenomorphs was once just a starstruck teenager in the front row of history. Sigourney Weaver, currently starring in 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', recently revealed a long-held secret: a multi-page, purple-inked confession to John Lennon.
The Sigourney Weaver John Lennon Letter Mystery
Appearing on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert', the 76-year-old actress admitted she once wrote a five-page letter on lavender stationery using purple ink. She hand-delivered the message to a restaurant Lennon was rumored to frequent, hoping it would reach her favorite member of the Fab Four.
While Weaver can't recall the exact contents, she jokingly told Colbert, "I hope they threw it away." She explained her fascination with Lennon stemmed from a story she read in a fan magazine about him putting his shoe in VIP sandwiches—a prank she found undeniably "cool" at the time.
A Front-Row Seat to 1964 Hollywood Bowl
Weaver’s connection to The Beatles is even immortalized on film. She attended their legendary 1964 concert at the Hollywood Bowl, an experience she described as deafening due to the non-stop screaming of fans. Her younger self was actually captured in Ron Howard's documentary, 'The Beatles: Eight Days a Week'.
She fondly remembered the moment a limo carrying the band drove past her after the show. Lennon and Paul McCartney waved at her from just 10 feet away, a moment that left her and a friend staring at their ceilings in shock for the next 24 hours.
