Virginia Elizabeth "Geena" Davis (born January 21, 1956) is an American actress, film producer, writer, former fashion model, and a women's Olympics archery team semi-finalist. She is known for her roles in The Fly (1986), Beetlejuice (1988), Thelma & Louise (1991), A League of Their Own (1992), The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), Stuart Little (1999) and The Accidental Tourist, for which she won the 1988 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
In 2005, Davis won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama for her role in Commander in Chief. In 2014, she returned to television portraying Dr. Nicole Herman in Grey's Anatomy. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress along with her co-star Susan Sarandon for Thelma and Louise.
Davis was born in Wareham, Massachusetts. Her mother, Lucille (née Cook; June 19, 1919 – November 15, 2001), was a teacher's assistant, and her father, William F. Davis (November 7, 1913 – April 2, 2009), was a civil engineer and church deacon; her parents were both from small towns in Vermont. She has a brother named Danforth ("Dan"). At an early age, she became interested in music. She learned piano and flute and played organ well enough as a teenager to serve as an organist at her Congregationalist church in Wareham. Davis attended Wareham High School and was an exchange student in Sandviken, Sweden, becoming fluent in Swedish. Enrolling at New England College, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in drama from Boston University in 1979. Davis is a member of Mensa, a social organization whose members are in the top 2% of intelligence. Following her education, Davis served as a window mannequin for Ann Taylor until signing with New York's Zoli modeling agency.

Johnny Davis never let us down
Started up on the west side of town
By the 60s the midwest was ours
The bike's a body and John was the heart
Meetings and the races and the women looked good
Raising hell and living like nobody else would
Johnny Davis never let us down
Since he's gone the boys are different now
Hang on, hang on, we're going for a ride
Hang on, hang on, it's alright
These streets are ours to take
Faster than trouble
Too fast to fade
Johnny never backed down from a fight
By the end we lived in changing times
The new guys thought that they were movie stars
After '69 it fell apart
Edges of an empty parking lot it rained chrome
Johnny in the middle stood his ground and fought alone
Johnny could took em one on one
But his young rival simply pulled a gun
Hang on, hang on, we're going for a ride
Hang on, hang on, it's alright
These streets are ours to take
Faster than trouble
Too fast to fade
You live the life you love, you love the life you live
Maybe that's enough honey to get us out of this
Build it up to speed, Give it all it needs
In the end it knocks you down and throws you in the weeds
If what you say is true, hell sometimes you gotta lose
Hang on, hang on, we're going for a ride
Hang on, hang on, it's alright
These streets are ours to take
Faster than trouble
