Geena told a story about filming Thelma & Louise. The director, Ridley Scott, wanted her to take off her top. She talked it over with her costar, Susan Sarandon, and they both told him there was no need to do this for the scene to work. He backed down and never mentioned it again. Bravo to the ladies for standing their ground.
No she really has that lovely smile with her own teeth! I met her one day at a street outdoor market in NYC and I had to do it, I went up to her and said “are you Geena Davis, and she smiled that wonderful smile , and I said I’m not going to bother you any longer, I just wanted to tell you what a big fan I am, and then I left.
@@gymshoe8862I'm 61. No longer look like my old self at 30. Some people do age gracefully, as they say, others don't. But then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am an average looking guy. My friends tell me I look 10 years younger. So I don't know what I'm gonna look like when and if I get to 75, but in all honesty, I'm not worrying about that. I try to take better care of myself to have the least health problems if I can help it and so far I can complain. I focus on every positive aspect of life, big and small and don't dwell on the negative, specially the natural process of aging, be it graciously or not. Find all that's beautiful around you and you won't be bother about whether you are beautiful or not. Stay well , take care.
@@gymshoe8862 Nope, not all old people are ''ugly''. Look how beautiful are Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Jacqueline Bisset, Sharon Stone etc. - and they all are natural. Call yourself whatever you want but don't speak for others.
She probably learned a lot by going to the filming every day and speaking to Dustin Hoffman. Most actors would go crazy for such a diamond opportunity!
I was involved with a young woman (Dena) during my twenties, who had a strong resemblance to Ms. Davis. We were together for four years, and I've had a crush on Geena ever since because she looks like my Dena, and her performances in "Earth Girls are Easy. Speechless, Thelma and Louise, and "Hero," remind me of her. I would have loved to meet Ms. Davis in person.
Such an amazing lady! I try to find movies she's been in. One of my favs is "Earth Girls Are Easy". Also starring Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carey, Daymon Wayans and Julie Brown. So corny it's hilarious!
This is actually a funny story that doesn't make anyone look all that bad. Loved the late Sydney Pollack. Don't men use any finesse anymore or courting or is it all merely that they have the money and status to simply transact what they want?
@mikewhite4560 She had mentioned it way back, happened when she was at Yale, I believe. She met him backstage after a play and he burped, groped her and said "I'm Dustin Hoffman." It seems like I read something in more recent years that it was somewhat taken out of context, but in the original article, it seemed like a pretty straightforward anecdote from Meryl herself.
Sad that talented qualified women still have to waste time coming up with defensive strategies to avoid males who feel entitled to pester them when they are just trying to do good work. 4:09
When dude (I don’t know these modern “talk show hosts”) says, “Do you wanna lay down,” she should have said, “It might ruin the sexual tension between us.”
That's also Geena Davis telling us/ the world how sick and depraved Hollywood and it's stars can be. I mean would you really want to sleep with old men to further your career? Like Jack Nicholson, etc. Yes, some would because Jack is famous but then I'm sure you'd feel like a used whore afterwards. Basically, you get taken away from your nice family and friends atmosphere. The bottom line is that sleeping with people that you don't want to sleep with celebrity or not really just gives you bad memories. I mean why do you think some stars or celebrities have such a high suicide or death rate?
Times have changed. Its too bad in a way, almost cringe worthy from our new me too type perspective of relations between the sexes. Something gained and also lost.
Geena's a classy lady Shouldn't be bothered with creeps like Jack N (He's in the Howard Stern type of men) Never liked any of his movies Well....'Cuckoo's Nest was fair He didn't need to act
@@johnthehumanist2333 old news, the time Roman Polanski abused/seduced a 14 year old (delivered to their house by the mother), it was at Jack Nicholsons house. How much he was involved is never disclosed but of course: guilt by association.
She is delightful! Love Geena
She's pure class...
The idea of Hoffman cockblocking Nicholson with Davis is hilarious!
She's truly beautiful in more ways than one ❤️
She is particularly gracious.
What a great story and very useful advice for any actress.

Who’s side are you on James
@@BuddyGorey hahahaha
Heroic
Nothing bravo about, wish I could have seen the Ridley version instead.
Sarandon had a top to show, Geena didn’t.
Gena devis always a breath of fresh aire.,.. always unique,lovely and goofball yet strange a true aquarius.. good old us 😁
The fly....❤first movie i saw her in.thelma n louis.shes a legend.
Still looks gorgeous at 60-odd.
Dustin Hoffman just saved Gena Davis' life. But, it's so great that JN was a gentleman about being turned down and respected her wishes.
Live in Paris. Welcome anytime Geena. We love you !!!
Geena's a good actress. She mimicked Jack Nicholson so well hahaha 😄. I didn't know she was a Victoria Secret model.
I didn't either but I'm not surprised.
I didn't either but I'm not surprised 🙂🌸
Geena Davies also speaks Swedish and almost got into the olympic team of archery.
Geena should do a sequel to the Long Kiss Good Night movie. She is the right age to show a retirement assassin look like settle down in life.
My favorite
Great Idea.
That was a great film
Very underrated action flick.
Funny stuff. A hometown Massachusetts girl, way to go Geena!
I've always been a fan but, after this video clip, I'm now a bigger fan.
Did Geena ever look anything less than 100% BLIMMIN' GORGEOUS?
THE most heartbreakingly beautiful movie actress ever in my opinion
GREAT STORY....
Can't believe she Told it...
No she really has that lovely smile with her own teeth!

If she got her teeth fixed it wouldn't be her anymore!
@@gymshoe8862Lovely Geena.
Nothing to fix.
@@RogerPalacios-n4t Age is a horrible thing--I'm 75, I'm relatively ugly now. Geena's in decline as we all are.

She’s so attractive
She is a fantastic actress
Her impression of Jack Nicholson is entirely credible and believable. You can easily picture him saying it.
Jack always asked and was surprised at how many said yes ....
Well, he`s a fu...ing movie star. I always asked and was surprised at how many said no...
@@jackprescott9652 Not everyone wants to shag a ''movie star'' - but sure, if that's a comfort to you...
She still looks very flawless still hot after all these years
This was recorded many years ago.
You need glasses.
@@jamesanthony5681…genuinely interested….what’s your idea of attractive?
Especially in 360p resolution….
Nicholson sounds like a presumptuous dik when it come to women. Great actor though.
Gee a still has it! Class act
what a charmer.
Happy birthday geena from italian boy live in rome
Always gorgeous.

I was thinking the same exact thing, How much could a Victoria Secret model learn watching Sydney Pollack directing Dustin Hoffman? A: A whole bunch.
1:57 You sense here when Jack Nicholson is going to enter the story.
What a classy, talented and funny lady.

Great editing 👍
Ahha
Great story about Jack
Waoo she still so beautiful
Let your guests talk and stop interrupting!😊
...great...thanks...love...
Her voice got so deep, but still she's beautiful
her voice was always basically like this; i think she sounds the same

Her voice was higher
She sounds the same as she did in Beetlejuice 😁

The rich and powerful have no need for finesse -- they never have and never will.
@@James-zw6wbpoor men don’t seem to have the need for finesse or manners either
Man, the arrogance and presumption women have to put up with in her industry...she handled it super well!

i know right, why would anyone be ever attracted to a funny, rich, popular, most talented actors of his generation. you donkey.
😂 please
@@savage_skirt5386 Im sure it worked for often than not....
When all you can say is negative things, the problem might be you.
Great Jack story. She’s the only one who has ever said a positive thing about Hoffman
What? What do you mean? Does Hoffman have a bad reputation?

Poor Michael Keaton didn’t stand a chance. I’ve always liked Geena Davis and now I like Dustin Hoffman better too. Great story.
Love Geena!
She has aged very well, or rather not aged at all; she only had a relatively small role in Tootsie, but it was very memorable thanks to her.
Jack.was the bad boy of hollywood😅😅😅
Hilarious imitation. 😂😂😂
jimmy kimmel will be funny in his next life I am sure.
Easy answer to that problem of yours…don’t watch him!
@@DippyHippie thanks

He'll be a funny cockroach, or something.
I remember here being Alex P. Keaton's maid on Family Ties.
I remember she had her own sitcom opposite Bill Maher.
Plastic surgery aside she still looks bloody good for someone approaching 70.
A proud Terrier!
why doesn't she do any movies now?
When she smiles you see too much gum.
Poor Jack,one got away--according to her.
Now this is a WOMAN. Not LGBTXYZ. But a WOMAN. With brains.
Lovely of you to bring homophobia into this

Cant blame Nickelson. I mean, just look at her.
But she couldn't resist Jeff Goldblum.

Did not know he died.
So that prick Hoffman ruined it for Nicholson? Geena was a babe, spetacular catch!

Ain't she great?
Jimmy Kimmel. A genuinely unfunny person.
Jack bedded hundreds of stars. And numerous models.
😁
Hee a bee a geenax
Never saw the draw of Geena Davis. Tall, lanky, not sexy at all. Must have had one hell of an agent.
She slept with him 1000%
Guess what! I have no idea who these ppl are,or about what they are discussing.
She's like a more feminine Caitlin Jenner
didn't realise how manly she is
