Carrie Henn at age 10 in Aliens (1986).

Caroline Marie Henn (born on May 7, 1976 in Panama City, Florida, USA) is a former actress who became famous as the little girl "adopted" by Sigourney Weaver's character in the movie Aliens, the second installment of the Alien series.

Aliens was in fact Henn's only role, as she abandoned the career following the 1986 blockbuster and has affirmed repeatedly that she has no plans at all of returning. Aliens was also the first and only big screen work of her brother, Christopher Henn, who plays her character's brother at the colony before the Xenomorphs (the aliens) take it over (his is a small part though, as his character is reported as having been killed by the aliens).

Henn's father was an officer of the U.S. Air Force, and his duties led the family to relocate to England in the mid-80's, where Carrie auditioned and got the part of "Newt" in the movie. In 1992 she attended the premiere of Alien³ with Sigourney Weaver, who declared later that she did not approve that Carrie should see the scene with her character's Newt's body.

Living in Stanislaus, California, Henn graduated from the California State University and now works in child development and liberal studies. Reportedly, Carrie Henn still keeps in touch with former co-star Sigourney Weaver through correspondence.
