Carrie Henn – Teacher

Credits to those who can take a sudden detour in life with such grace. As such is Carrie Henn, who only appeared in one movie, Aliens, back in 1986. In the same film is where she won a Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor. She is the sister of other Aliens actor Christopher Henn. She must have thought that her lifelong career is acting with her achievement, but life must have other plans for her. Henn had a short-lived acting career in Hollywood.

She is supposed to have a leading role in the fan film Alien: Identity, but it got canceled. So, she chose to teach children and not continue acting in Hollywood. She earned a degree in liberal studies and child development at the California State University at Stanislaus in 2000. She is now a school teacher in Atwater, California, living a private life with stable finances and credits.
