Recognizing Jenette Goldstein

I’ve been getting late 80’s/90’s content in my Facebook feed lately, and was reminded of the movie Aliens (the sequel). I was also reminded of one of the great characters in that cast – Private Vasquez, played by Jenette Goldstein.

I then learned that Goldstein was also the foster mother (Janelle Voight), in the Terminator 2 movie. Who knew?

Here are two clips from her very cool career:

Some random trivia that I’ve since learned: for the Aliens audition, Goldstein thought it was a movie about immigration and illegal aliens. Perhaps this informed some of the dialogue (in the clip above). Also – since her movie career, Goldstein has a successful business focusing on large-cup bras called Jenette Bras.

Another bit of random trivia: Goldstein’s lines from Terminator 2 appear in the preloader, for my my ChatGPT-based game, Infinite Adversaries.
