Geena Davis went from a sheltered New England childhood to international fame as one of Hollywood\u2019s biggest stars of the 1980s and 1990s.<\/p>\n

After starting as a model, she broke out in Tootsie<\/em> (1982) and went on to star in hits like The Fly<\/em>, Beetlejuice<\/em>, The Accidental Tourist<\/em> (Oscar win), A League of Their Own<\/em>, and Thelma & Louise<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Behind the success, she faced serious childhood struggles, including abuse and bullying, and later experienced a sharp slowdown in roles after 40.<\/p>\n

In her personal life, she became a mother in her mid-40s and later founded the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media to push for equality in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Today, she still acts and remains a major advocate for women in film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
