In terms of getting on the path to a wildly successful acting career, most would consider a role in one of James Cameron's films a pretty sure bet. Carrie Henn was just ten years old when she appeared in the blockbuster hit, Aliens, alongside big Hollywood names, such as Sigourney Weaver and Bill Paxton. She portrayed the character, Rebecca "Newt" Jordan and had zero acting experience at the time, which was strange for such a large production.
Henn always insisted she didn't want to pursue a career in acting, and she definitely stuck to her word on that one. Besides the odd promotional commitment for Aliens, such as interviews and DVD specials, she hasn't worked on any other production. She ended up becoming a teacher in California, which is a career she seems to be very happy with.
