While some younger Hollywood starlets have gained notoriety by flashing their underwear in public,, the public looks to the older generation of actresses to set an example..
As she approaches her 60th birthday this year, Sigourney Weaver is looking better than ever.
Appearing on U.S. morning show The View yesterday, Sigourney revealed every inch of her long legs... and then some as she sat on the sofas in the studio.

The talk show's hosts Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck were unaware Sigourney was flashing her underwear to both the studio and TV audience at home.
On the show to promote her new movie Prayers For Bobby, Sigourney unwittingly aped the famous scene in the movie Basic Instinct, in which Sharon Stone's character flashed the police while crossing her legs.
However, unlike Sharon's character in the 1992 film, fortunately Sigourney had underwear on.
The 5'11 actress outshone the presenters on the show - including Elisabeth who is 28 years younger - in a purple mini dress and killer heels.

After walking into the studio and greets the hosts, Sigourney went for a special hug with comedienne Joy and ended up displaying her underwear to the studio.
But her exposure didn't last too long with Sigourney spending most of the episode were her legs elegantly crossed.
Recently, the actress admitted she was bored of people asking her about Alien 5.
After playing Ellen Ripley in four of the sci-fi movies, she has said goodbye to the character... for now.
She said: 'I think its satisfying to create something new. I love the Alien films, but I think enough already.'
