Geena Davis, 70, Is a Marvel in a Minidress on the Red Carpet
Geena Davis rarely hits the red carpet, but the film legend knows how to pack a punch when she does.
Davis, 70, rose to stardom in films like Beetlejuice and The Accidental Tourist, for which she won an Academy Award. She later became instantly identifiable thanks to roles in Thelma & Louise and A League of Their Own, and even tackled television with her role in Commander in Chief. Behind the scenes, Davis launched the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, which works to increase the presence of female characters in media. Not one to hit the red carpet too frequently, the stunner attended the premiere of Netflix's The Boroughs + ATAS Event at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on May 18 in Los Angeles, California. Showing off her impressive height and natural beauty, the star rocked a minidress like an absolute queen.
Davis Was Teased as a Child
While Davis is praised for her beauty these days, she found it challenging as a child due to her height. Growing up in a small Massachusetts town, she stood out in comparison to the other girls, and her classmates made things difficult. However, she channeled her experience into her debut children's book, The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page.
"I was tall from minute one," Davis said on an episode of The View back in April of 2025. "I was very self-conscious and shy, and the last thing I wanted to do was stand out, and yet, every minute, I stood out."
Children teased her in school, which was tough to deal with.
"So, it was really tough growing up. The boys' nickname for me in high school was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which, you know, is so charming," she recalled, referencing the iconic Los Angeles Lakers player.
What is The Boroughs About?
Davis' TV turn in The Boroughs is an exciting one. The supernatural mystery, which is made by the popular Duffer Brothers, "is set in a seemingly picturesque retirement community where a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don't have… time," Deadline reported.
