Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2021
- Thirty years after the Oscar-winning actress starred in the transcendent tale of female friendship "Thelma & Louise," Geena Davis is still fighting to improve opportunities for women in the film industry. She talked with correspondent Tracy Smith about seeking change in front of, and behind, the camera; playing an athlete (and becoming one); and what she'd like her headstone to read.

Hollywood forgets older women, but right about now we need their talent, because what Hollywood is putting out now is basically for kids.
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.
Love, Geena Davis
I have wondered for many years Where She Went. she has always been one of my most favorite actresses. anyone that grew up in the 90s knows that she was a beacon of all of our movies
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

I saw her this morning on.CBS and had to google her age. She looks amazing! Doesn't look a day over forty. Not only that, she's stunning. Hollywood full of ageism, womenism and racism!
And yet you're being sexist just talking about her looks!
@@gamingtonight1526 It is not sexist to pay someone a compliment like" you look nice today, or that they look good" especially in regards to there health or well being. It is only sexist when it can be considered discrimanatory. Such as, She looks good for her age but....I don't think she should have the part because we want someone younger. Or, She is pretty but....we are looking for someone that can do action so we think a man would be better.
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.
Love, Geena Davis
I would pay for a movie ticket to see her again!
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

Sharon Stone made some remarks about the age issue in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago. She said that when a producer or a director has a part for a woman in her 50s or 60s, they all go to Meryl Streep. And they forget that we have so many amazing actresses out there who can play these parts beautifully.
She has point about folks who older past 50 age some employers don’t hire this age range.
Women, for the most part - not cool.

I’m 60 (from Ohio), so I rarely watch movies unless there are older women in them. I see these young people who couldn’t possibly have the experience their characters are to have…. Makes the film seem so fake and flat. I watch European films that are more realistic. I saw a movie with Pierce Brosnan from
a few year’s ago, with an older woman and my friends and I loved it. Realistic and uplifting….name “Love is All You Need.” Hollywood, you are disrespecting women and you are losing money with this market. Wake up!!! Female actresses unite and produce and make more of these movies.
True European films embrace older actors. Which is much better to watch.
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

She is my favorite actress, she has real class,. I hope soon to see her playing new roles she's one of a kind.
I can watch this woman's movies over and over and over and I have I love her so much she's so good
Geena Davis rose up to the top in the early 1990’s and was making one great film after another. I was a huge fan, then one day years passed and I was wondering where is Geena Davis? I’ve brought her name up to friends in recent years and they’ll comment, “I loved her! Whatever happen to her?” Apparently Hollywood’s ageist clan happened. If they’d offer a handful of scripts over the last ten years people would go to see it. Loved her in The Long Kiss Goodnight, Angie, Hero, Earth Girls are Easy, Beetlejuice and of course the highly acclaimed Thelma and Louise, A League of Their Own and The Accidental Tourist. These are all films I recall from memory loving her in. I have no doubt that if the industry cast her in the right role that she’d skyrocket back to the top and nab every award nomination out of it. There have been many actresses over 40 that disappeared or stopped being cast in, then out of nowhere they land the role of a lifetime that puts them back on the map.
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

She's been memorable ever since her bit part in "love your body, Larry" Fletch.
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

She is (still) terrific!
I would drop everything and run to the theater to see a new Geena Davis movie👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️👏❤️👏
She was (and is) absolutely bangin'
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.
Love, Geena Davis!
One of my favorite actresses. The most common mistake the industry makes, is thinking women over 50 have less to offer than their younger colleagues. As they grow older and gain more life experience, women like Geena have absolutely *everything* to offer their performances. Sure, youth sells, but Baby Boomers are the 2nd largest generation still, and watch as many streaming services, etc as everyone else. Do you really think mature, female consumers can relate more to watching women in their 20's, or women closer to their own age...just a thought..
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

Long kiss goodnight. Thank you Geena.

They need actresses that are now the "it" girls or 50 and younger to assist in this charge...we can't wait until actresses wait to be of a certain age to start the charge... Let all women of all ages join this cause to make the biggest impact!
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

Geena Davis will always be one of my favorite actress. Always.
Her activist work for actors and opportunities in the field will be just as important as the work she has been a part of as an actress. #CBSThisMorning

I believed she did but it flopped.
"The Long Kiss" is up there, but Davis was/became Muriel in "Tourist". A great story, a superb cast, & she still really stood out. Bravo to her for her work in trying to aciheve equality for women in film.
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.
Love, Geena Davis...
A good bit of my childhood consists of Geena Davis movie's. I can't imagine having not seen these thought provoking films that just stand out in mental space.
1) The Fly
2) Earth Girls Are Easy
3) League of Their Own
4) The Long Kiss Good night
5) Hero
6) Thelma & Louise
The list goes on as they're almost meant to be in time...I only wanna know how she managed to pick so many interesting roles?
Love her!💐❤️
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

First...*I demand a sequel to "The Long Kiss Goodnight"* ( *Call it "The Return of Charli B"* )
( *Sorry, no 'Second'* )
*And what is it that makes an old guy's eyes start to 'get blurry' watching "A League Of Their Own"...one of my 'favs'*
Genna, you are awesome. Thanks so much for advocating for women and W.I.F.. I am one who is also working for her break for 3 decades, 1/2 my. life. Glad women are getting more opportunities, finally.
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

Was wondering why we weren't seeing Geena in movies. Any writers, directors here? She's available and we want to see more of her movies.

Such a beautiful and talented woman....
What a wonderfully engaging woman. If Geena would care to hop across the pond, there is certainly no shortage of mature female actors required, here.....Thank you for all the delightful cinematic outings & characters portrayed !! :D
I loved Cutthroat Island as a kid. Great Movie.
Uniquely beautiful face!

I will never forgive Dottie Hinson for dropping the ball.
Lol man the little sister was such a whiny ball player
*You KNOW why she did it!* *'Little Sister' needed the 'Game' more than she did, and because 'Love and Blood are always thicker than water' Dotty 'let it go' despite she badly wanted to go on playing*
( *I think this is called a 'sacrifice play'* )
There's still no crying in baseball!!!

Role model of the best kind.
Saw her on an old episode of Knight Rider.
From appearing in her very first film 🎞 in 1982 to winning an Oscar just six years later in 1989-taking up archery 🏹 and nearly qualifying for the Olympic Games just two years afte-,to winning yet another Oscar for her humanitarian efforts-I’d say Geena Davis is an overachiever!😘🙏😝🎥🎞😉
And women her age are having very interesting lives-contrary to Hollywood opinion. They are young grandmothers taking care of their grandchildren,they are CEOs of their own companies, they are still active sexually...let’s see more stories written about how these ladies are actually holding it down in their prime years!🙏😘🎞🎥👍
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.
Love, Geena Davis...
Love her!!! I thought one of her first mainstream appearances was a guest on Family Ties w. MJ Fox... I forgot she was in Tootsie. A movie i think is under-rated is Earth Girls Are Easy - makes me laugh every time even now. Accidental Tourist was excellent too.
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

I was today years old when I learned that she was once married to The Fly himself…

She is FAB. Looks incredible 😍for her age💋

“Tootsie”
I actually believe that Hollywood really changed , those 6 last years were absolutely phenomenal for female performances in both cinema and television and mooore movies lead by powerful feminine range such as " A QUITE PLACE , TÁR , EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE , THE FAVOURITE , READY OR NOT , THE WOMAN KING , WOMEN TALKING , A STAR IS BORN , ROMA AND MANY MANY MOVIES drives by its female lead ,and woman over 50 winning oscars such as Renée zellweger and frances mcdormand and Youn yuh-jung , and female directors jane campion and chloe zhao , emerald fennell , and female producers and writers
a retrospective of the many roles she had to become a movie star and then laments the lack of roles?
HIRE HER!!!! WE WILL GLADLY GO AND SEE HER STARRING IN A MOVIE OR SHOW!!!
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

There needs to be more screenplays written that feature older women. That's the real problem.
Where are the screenwriters who can come up with something for older women? Boggles the mind?

6:29 She's a Justin Huish fan.
i totally forgot about Tootsie. You could practically see Dustin Hoffman struggling to keep it together in their scene. She's amazing.
Geena Davis & Dustin Hoffman would reunite years later in the film Hero!! She played a reporter who was rescued in a burning plane that crashed by Hoffman's character, Bernard La Plante. The film also starred Andy Garcia who played John Blubber, the homeless man who would take credit for La Plante's act of heroism.

We made a personal commitment to radioh
Geena Davis is an excellent and amazing actress and beautiful as well.
When 60 or 70 year old women can star in and carry a movie that makes hundreds of millions of dollars like the rest of them ...then they will be hired like crazy.
Clint Eastwood can still make a movie and bring in tons viewers and money.
They're not going to hire a 70 or 80 year old woman for the kind of money she will have to have and lose money ...it's simple arithmetic it has nothing to do with her age.
It has to do with who goes to the movies and that's mostly younger clientele.

There’s just not enough cats and dogs in movies 🤪
Why would change come in Hollywood when it hasn't in real life? Nothing she complains about is unknown in daily life, and women are the first to notice a female actor's age or weight. Nothing has changed when you drill down into it.
Get woman writing more scripts and get the money to get women's films made!
Way to go Geena!
Thank you very my dear fan, your true love is highly appreciated.

Geena is very fresh and healthy looking for her age, you'd wonder is there a secret that she has for staying so young looking for someone in her mid 60's
I say this with love: wtf. every show and movie I see stars and is produced by or writen by women. what reality are these studies based on?
