Geena Davis was born on January 21st, 1956 in Wareham Massachusetts with the birth name Virginia Elizabeth Davis.  From a young age she had aspirations of becoming an actress.  After completing high school she went on to enroll at New England College in New Hampshire and then transferred to Boston University and majored in drama.
 
Upon earning her college degree, Davis relocated to New York in pursuit of a career as an actress.  While trying to find stage work she supported herself working as a waitress, sales clerk and a window mannequin for a modeling agency.
 
Soon the Zoli modeling agency signed her to a contract and she was working on Victoria Secret print catalogs.  In 1982 she got her break into the film industry when she was cast in her first film role, "Tootsie" (1982) starring Dustin Hoffman, which was a successful film and earned her the attention of Hollywood.
 
Davis then relocated to Los Angeles and began appearing on a number of television series such as, "Buffalo Bill" (1983) and "Sara" (1985).  Along with television she continued appearing on the big screen in such films as, "Transylvania 6-5000" (1985), "Fletch" (1985), "The Fly" (1986), "Beetlejuice" (1988) and "The Accidental Tourist" (1988) for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

In addition to her successful acting career Davis along with her then husband, director, Renny Harlin, the couple started a production company called, The Forge.  Such films they produced were, "Speechless" (1994) and "Cutthroat Island" (1995), however both films were unsuccessful at the box office.
 
Davis also appeared on both "Stuart Little" films in 1999 and 2002.  Some of her last known roles have been on the television series, "Commander in Chief" (2005-2006) and the film, "Accidents Happen" (2009).  She is also a cast member of the television series, "Coma" set to release in 2012.
