Fainting cast members

Fainting on the set of ‘Alien’ wasn’t’ a rare occurrence, and it wasn’t due to the terrifying extra-terrestrial!

In fact, due to the big spacesuits that had to be worn for certain scenes, the actors would overheat, with some even passing out.

Veronica Cartwright, who played Lambert, revealed that a nurse was kept on standby due to the frequency of actors falling ill due to the sweltering conditions.

Eventually, the costumes were modified after Ridley Scott’s sons passed out while wearing the suits for the space jockey sequence.
