Geena Davis Biography

geena davis
  • Birth Name: Virginia Elizabeth Davis
  • Birth Place: Wareham, MA
  • Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 01/21/1956, Aquarius
  • Profession: Actor; producer; writer; model
This statuesque actress has experienced as much drama off screen as on, including four marriages, three children, one Oscar, and a wealth of high-profile blockbusters and bombs. Davis initially tried her luck at television with guest appearances on numerous series and regular roles on two short-lived sitcoms in the '80s, but film turned out to be her medium. Her model looks and loopy persona were showcased in both comedies and dramas, such as The Accidental Tourist and The Fly, opposite then-husband Jeff Goldblum. Her star shined brightly until the mid-'90s when her new spouse, Renny Harlin, directed her in two bloated action movies (The Long Kiss Goodnight and Cutthroat Island). They both flopped, as did the couple's marriage. In 2000, Davis returned to television with a short-lived eponymous sitcom. But her second attempt at a series, Commander in Chief, in which she played the first female President of the United States, thrust her back into the spotlight and earned her a Golden Globe, even though the show had trouble finding an audience and was canceled after one season.
