See More... Sigourney Weaver recently opened up about having her daughter, Charlotte (now 18), when she was 40-years-old. The actress recently starred in the big screen comedy, Baby Mama, alongside Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, playing the owner of a surrogacy agency. Tina Fey plays a businesswoman whose biological clock is feverishly ticking, a feeling in which Weaver is not unfamiliar.

On having her daughter later in life: ‘I didn’t have my own daughter, Charlotte, until I was 40 and, yes, it’s fair to say I was becoming more and more desperate to have a child. Definitely. We all have doctors telling us, “Oh, you can have a child until you are 45,” but it isn’t as easy as that. We took a long time to conceive Charlotte. She was a much-wanted baby. We sort of loved her into existence. I’ve had a lot of friends go though fertility treatment. And if I hadn’t had Charlotte I would probably have gone down that road.”
