“I WANT TO PICK WOMEN IN CHARGE OF THEIR OWN FATE’ Academy-Award-winning actress Geena Davis gave an amusing and passionate keynote speech during The Women’s Foundation of Colorado 25th anniversary luncheon Friday at The Colorado Convention Center, Penny Parker writes for Blacktie-Colorado. “The film that had the most impact on my life was Thelma and Louise,” Davis told the packed room, which erupted in applause. “First, I had to get cast. The movie was already cast, but they kept changing actors and in the end there were three Thelmas and Louises. My agent called every week for a year.”
GEENA DAVIS EVENT grossed $928K.
