Geena Davis An Amazing Cougar
June 6th, 2008 by GiGi
She may be one of our favorite cougars, but she’s picked her boytoy with better precision that she has her movies. Forget the fact that Geena Davis hasn’t had a big screen Hollywood hit in some time. Her last hits were in 1991 and 1992 for Thelma and Louise[tag] and [tag]A League Of Their Own. Her Oscar winning performance in The Accidental Tourist (1988) just isn’t carrying much weight these days.
Not only does she appear to have a knack for picking the wrong pictures to showcase her talents, prior to her 4th marriage to Dr. Reza Jarrahy, who’s 15 years her junior, she’s struck out in the marriage department with Jeff Goldblum, (Transylvania 6-5000, The Fly and Earth Girls Are Easy) Richard Emmolo and and Renny Harlin (Cutthroat Island and The Long Kiss Goodnight).
In television she was off to a rocky start with her short-lived sitcom The Geena Davis Show. But this show was the forerunner for better things to come as she guest-starred as Grace Adler’s sister Janet on the NBC sitcom Will & Grace in 2004.
Finally the viewers sat up and took notice as she starred in the ABC television series Commander in Chief as the first female President of the United States. This role captured her a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series in 2006. She also was nominated for a SAG Award for Outstanding Female Actor in a Drama Series and an Emmy Award.
Here’s hoping her newest venture “Exit 19, scheduled to premiere this fall, will give us another round of awards.
