Geena Davis Biography
Two-time Academy Award winner Geena Davis is one of Hollywood’s most respected actors, appearing in several roles that became cultural landmarks. Early roles include her debut in "Tootsie" in 1982 and Muriel Pritchett in "The Accidental Tourist," which earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1988. She broke new ground as Thelma in "Thelma & Louise" in 1991, a performance that earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She also portrayed Dottie Hinson in "A League of Their Own" in 1992.
Throughout her career, Davis continued to take on diverse roles in both television and film. She starred in the "Stuart Little" film series, portrayed the first female president of the United States in the TV series "Commander in Chief," and had a recurring role as Dr. Nicole Herman in "Grey's Anatomy." Davis's performance in "Commander in Chief" earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Television Series Drama. Davis is also featured in Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut, "Blink Twice."
Outside of acting, Davis launched the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, a non-profit organization that works to increase the number of female characters and reduce gender stereotyping in media made for children. Davis also executive produced the documentary "This Changes Everything" in 2018, which explores gender inequality in Hollywood. Davis is also a world-class athlete (at one time the nation’s 13th-ranked archer), a member of the genius society Mensa, and the author of the 2022 memoir, "Dying of Politeness."
Over the years, Davis's contributions to film and her advocacy work have been recognized with numerous awards. In addition to her Academy Award wins and nominations, she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Academy Awards in 2019 for her work in promoting gender equality in the entertainment industry. She also received the Women in Motion Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 and was honored with the Legacy Award at the Coronado Island Film Festival in 2022.

The team was instrumental in making SHAPE the success that it was! I worked most closely with the Logistics Team who were very detail oriented. Carolyn and Jeana have the utmost confidence in the AAE Team, and they were very helpful to me as we were trying to finalize the last few open sessions.

It went AWESOME!!!!! Geena did such a great job with a powerful message that was packed with interesting insight, stats, research and humor!!!! Our attendees loved the program. And the program went over by 13 minutes or so and the attendees were glued to their seats because of how engaging Geena was.
The United Way of Greater Atlanta - Nov 10 2017 -
"Geena’s keynote address was truly outstanding and her content was so 'right on' with our theme (change) and relevant with our members. Her delivery was outstanding, extremely genuine and sincere. Her keynote was undoubtedly the ‘buzz’ of the conference. In addition to her keynote address, the VIP Session was very well received. Thank you!"
Women Presidents’ Organization - Nov 13 2014 -
So many women were enlightened by the information and could sense her passion to improve the future for females. She was able to connect with each individual on a personal level.
