吉娜·戴维斯

As a child, Geena dreamed of being an actress. While in high school, she felt left out and had low self-esteem because, at 6 feet, she was the tallest girl in school. After high school graduation, Geena entered New England College in New Hampshire and then transferred the next year to Boston University, where she majored in drama. In 1977, she graduated and moved to New York to start her career. Her career consisted of sales clerk and waitress. She worked at Ann Taylor, where she eventually rose to Saturday window mannequin while trying to get a job with a modeling agency. Eventually signed by the Zoli Agency, she wound up as a model in the Victoria Secret's Catalogue. Ever vigilant, 西德尼·波拉克 was looking for new talent in the catalog when he spotted Geena and cast her in 窈窕淑男 (1982). With good reviews, Geena moved to Los Angeles where she was cast as Wendy in the short-lived but critically acclaimed television series Buffalo Bill (1983) with 达布尼·柯尔曼. A starter marriage to restaurant manager Richard Emmolo dissolved around this time. Her next appearance on television was in her own series Sara (1985), which was also good, but soon canceled. Geena then returned to the big screen in the below-average 乌龙记者 (1985) followed by the successful 切维·切斯 movie 古灵侦探 (1985). From there on, she was on a roll with second husband 杰夫·高布伦 in the horror remake The Fly (1986). More successful were 蒂姆·波顿's dark comedy 阴间大法师 (1988) and 意外的旅客 (1988). For the last film, she was the surprise winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. More fun movies followed with the flying-saucer-in-the-pool 外星奇缘 (1988) and everyone-loves-a-clown 两男一女三逃犯 (1990) with 比尔·默瑞. The very successful 末路狂花 (1991), directed by 雷德利·斯科特, again garnered Academy Award nominations for Geena and 苏珊·萨兰登. 红粉联盟 (1992), with 汤姆·汉克斯 and directed by 潘妮·马歇尔, was the turning point as her next film, 无名英雄 (1992), was only average. Then she married director 雷尼·哈林 and they set up a production and development company called "The Forge". Their first film was 爱得没话说 (1994), which flopped at the box office. Undeterred, Renny decided to film the big-budget 割喉岛 (1995), starring Geena as pirate leader Morgan, which also flopped. Geena has since starred in the thriller 特工狂花 (1996) and played Eleanor Little in 精灵鼠小弟 (1999) and 精灵鼠小弟2 (2002). She's also returned to TV, headlining The Geena Davis Show (2000) and Commander in Chief (2005). Both shows were canceled after one season each, but she won a Golden Globe for the latter. Since 2001 she has been married to her fourth husband, neurosurgeon Reza Jarrahy, and they have three children. In 2008, after being missed from the big screen for some years, Geena ventured to Sydney, Australia, playing the foul-mouthed mother of 哈里·库克 and 哈里森·吉尔伯特森 to shoot the dark comedy Accidents Happen (2009).
