Considering Quick Change was Murray's first foray behind the camera, I'm almost certain he would've had this in mind -- A veteran of TV/film sets, He'd also be cognizant of how much one pissy actor can drag down everyone else (with them), should they feel wronged or neglected; As well as the importance of attending to, nurturing, or patronizing said actor's fickle needs is just one of many needless on-set duties a proficient director needs to be mindful of, lest they emulate McG (or Bill Murray) …hence Quick Change’s dual-directors credit. The way I understand is she was just in the right place at the right time and modeling was her foot in the door.

Full of humour with occasional spikes of anger and a sense of melancholy with her parents, I really enjoyed this perfectly realised and written memoir. Bill Murray has often been seen as an affable guy, but there have been more than a handful of allegations against him over the years. On the other side of that, she delivered her memoir as a story relayed to an old friend with whom you’re just catching up. I liked this, but didn't love it for some reason- it was full of intimate information but somehow never felt intimate.I realized that I was very, very anxious about doing the right thing and getting perfect grades, and I started thinking to myself, in 10 years, you won’t remember that you got a B on a math test. There’s the director who asked her to audition by sitting on his lap while he rubbed his face in her breasts (she complied) or the time Bill Murray, during a meeting, insisted on trying out a massage machine on her, despite her repeated refusals. I liked the threads of her discovery of feminist and finding her voice but wish they had been explored further.

When watching children’s programming, she noticed that boy characters were much more plentiful and got more action-oriented roles. It’s 30 years since A League of Their Own was released, and it was so juicy to hear some behind-the-scenes details about the movie. raging at me in full clown getup: the makeup, the shoes, the whole nine yards” [by the way: fcking L O L ! Geena Davis is an American actor, advocate for gender equality, executive producer, and former model.

She is the nice girl working to become a bad-ass I want to be, but way smarter than I am and far more capable than I will ever be.

By now we were getting close to where everything was set up: It was a big outdoor scene at an intersection, and between the cast, crew, extras, and spectators, there were easily more than three hundred people there—and Murray was still screaming at me, for all to see and hear. It says that I graduated in all of the press that I did because if I admitted it in the press, they would then see it and realize it. And that said, I have never seen "Thelma and Louise" (I know, I know, it's on the list), but I've loved "Fletch" and "Speechless" (I still think that movie is underrated) and "Beetlejuice" and "A League of Their Own" and a myriad of other movies that I'm forgetting right now. Just a bit on Christopher McDonald, as well as director Scott, and then Brad Pitt's back and George Clooney's ego.Davis' exploitative, PR-bait regarding her time with Murray, making his Quick Change (1990) is petty and self-serving for the sake of pandering to a particular demographic.

In this simultaneously hilarious and candid memoir, Davis regales us with tales of a career playing everything from an amnesiac assassin to the parent of a rodent, her eccentric childhood, her relationships, and helping lead the way to gender parity in Hollywood—all while learning to be a little more badass, one role at a time. Now, with a slew of iconic roles and awards under her belt, she has surpassed her childhood dream—but the path to finding yourself never did run smoothly.

I’ve said this in other reviews but I don’t listen to celebrity memoirs because I care about your craft-tell me more stories about your donkey. a wannabe maniacal director hurt your feelings -- this is clearly someone exploiting contemporary socio-political progress for their own publicity/book sales. Anyway, my point is, I've never quite discerned the origin of my life-long girl-crush, but I've always loved Geena Davis, and now I love her more. Some of this chronic politeness is likely due to her lowkey parents, who are depicted as throwbacks to the 1940s and 50s.
