After Rosie O’Donnel announced that she is leaving The View, blogs and papers are buzzing with rumors and suggestions on who to replace her. This is from The Detroit News:

Geena Davis: Strong, smart and in need of a day job after ABC canceled her TV run as the president of the United States, Davis could whip this morning show into shape.

Who could not agree on this? Take a look at the interviews section for examples on how well Geena fits in that couch! : D

The UK car rental company Sixt Holiday Cars has conducted a survey where they asked their customers to vote for their favorite “road movie”. Not surprisingly to fans of Geena, Thelma & Louise was voted the top favorite! They ran - or drove, rather - off with a whopping 46% of the votes, while runner-up Easy Rider received 23% of the votes.

Thank you so much to Jo from Singapore for not only providing me with the scan of an old magazine cover (view full size in the gallery), but also taking the time to type down the 4 page interview within the same magazine! The following article was published in the autumn issue of Premiere, a UK magazine.

“Did you shoot him? Did you do a Thelma and Louise?”

Geena Davis cocks her forefinger and thumb into the shape of a gun, blowing her imaginary assailant away, a tactic thankfully not needed by her interviewer the prevous night after an attempted mugging on L.A.’s Melrose Avenue. The woman who was Thelma suddenly laughs, clearly pleased at this real-life reference to her favourite movie, the one that transformed her from the quirky star of such features as The Accidental Tourist, The Fly and Earth Girls Are Easy into the woman at the centre of last summer’s feminist zeitgeist. And now, with the huge success of the Davis-domincated A League of Their Own — $90 million and rising – into the woman who has dramatically become a major movie star, right there at the very top of the Tinsel Town tree. Not bad going for a former oversized model from somewhere called Wareham, Massachussetts.
