Geena Davis

Virtually from the moment Geena Davis landed on the big screen in "Tootsie", her run was unstoppable -- "Beetlejuice", "The Fly", "Thelma & Louise", "A League of their Own", an Oscar win for "The Accidental Tourist". And then as if out of a bad Hollywood script the roles dried up as soon as she turned 40.  On this visit to "Happy Sad Confused", Geena Davis talks about that amazing run as well as her inspiring work in recent years, launching her own institute studying gender inequality in media, acting in new projects like GLOW, and receiving an honorary Oscar very soon.  Her new film, "This Changes Everything" is in theaters and on VOD on August 9th.  Learn more about your ad choices.
