Geena Davis on her new Oscar, Glow, and changing Hollywood from behind the scenes.
, Geena Davis was catapulted to stardom with back-to-back roles in hits like. In the early aughts, she stepped away from acting—mainly, she says, because the roles lacked complexity and the projects weren’t interesting. Davis decided to set her sights on a new challenge: After observing the way women were narrowly stereotyped and hypersexualized onscreen, she launched the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media in 2004 to increase the presence of female representation in film and television.
Well that’s not gonna be true because once these women get to 40, they’ll have fixed it! Look at what they’re doing and these great parts!Yes. I thought there was a wave going on and then I started getting some really cool parts that seemed to back up my notion that things were getting better. Whencame out the press all said, "This changes everything now, we’re going to see so many more movies starring women about women." And I was sure that would happen… until it didn’t.
I thought it was interesting the documentary doesn’t try and paint these executives as villains but point out the reality that most of them are just careless.
