CARRIE HENN – SCHOOL TEACHER

Carrie is the daughter of a military officer of the U.S Airforce. She started as a child artist and is best known for playing Rebecca ‘Newt’ Jorden who was lonely and terrified by the presence of aliens around her in the science fiction film Aliens. Carrie was spotted by Sarah Ferguson, the casting director of the movie, and within no time, Henn was contacted for an audition and later selected for the role. It was also the only one credited to her name because she wanted to prioritize her teaching career.

She never went back to acting and chose to pursue higher education. In 2000, she graduated from liberal studies and child development, and now, she’s a happy mom, and as a spouse. Currently, she is an elementary teacher at Shaffer Elementary school in Atwater, California. We never heard of Carrie applying for a student loan or payday loans in order to survive.
