GEENA DAVIS

The former fashion model carefully constructed a successful screen persona that made her one of Hollywood’s most coveted actresses emerging in the early 1980s. Geena Davis’ humorous charm worked well in eccentric comedies Beetlejuice, but she also had a flair for drama, as demonstrated by her Oscar-winning performance in The Accidental Visitor. She cemented her status as a legend even more with her career-defining appearance in Thelma and Louise.

Her formidable physique also provided her with a reputation that enabled her to play athletes and other physically demanding roles. After a career setback, Davis soared with a series of serious parts that kept her in the spotlight, including a stint in Grey’s Anatomy. The actress is as well-known to make serious investments in the causes she believes in, such as her tireless promotion of gender equality in the mainstream. The actress, who recently turned 65, claims that she becomes wiser and more in tune with herself as she grows older.
