Trivia[]
- Amanda's picture was actually the picture of Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother, Elizabeth Inglis.
- Amanda's design in Alien: Isolation is also based on Inglis during her youth.
- According to the Aliens novelization, Amanda died of cancer.
- In James Cameron's initial treatment for Aliens, Amanda (who had not yet been named) is still alive and living on Earth. By the time of the story, she is old, frail and crippled, and when Ripley speaks to her via videophone from Gateway Station, she makes it clear that she resents her mother for what happened, and coldly tells Ripley that she hates her.
