10 Movie Character Details You Didn't Notice

10. Lambert Was Transgender - Aliens

Sometimes we can go entire movies without discovering crucial details about characters, only to have some valuable light shed on them in a sequel or prequel later down the line.

This much was true when it came to the Nostromo's navigator in the first Alien movie, Lambert. Though she dies a rather horrendous death in said 1979 feature from director Ridley Scott, her legacy lived on as the crew's various deaths were recapped during James Cameron's sequel Aliens.

It's here where a blink and you'll miss it detail about Lambert is brought to light for the first time. According to her report, Lambert was in fact transgender, with it being specifically noted that she was a "Despin Convert at birth (male to female)."

As well as this enlightening additional information on the character, it's also revealed that she was diagnosed as having "slight hyperactivity and nervousness", something that most would agree was abundantly clear from her actions throughout that first Alien feature.
