Show notes

In this episode of Compact Biographies, we tell the life story of Ellen Ripley, the warrant officer whose ordinary commercial voyage aboard the Nostromo became one of the most terrifying survival stories ever recorded. From her early life on Luna and her work for Weyland-Yutani to the disaster on LV-426, the loss of her daughter Amanda, her return with the Colonial Marines, her bond with Newt, and her final stand on Fiorina 161, this is the story of a woman who kept refusing to let the worst forces win.
