Geena Davis, a two-time Academy Award winner, revisits her unusual path from an overly polite childhood to a career that taught her to claim space on screen and off. She balances wry humor with thoughtful reflection as she recalls memorable parts and turning points.
The book traces how varied roles and life events shaped Davis’s confidence and convictions. Alongside behind-the-scenes anecdotes are clear-eyed accounts of her efforts to promote gender parity in film and television.
Accessible and engaging, the memoir will appeal to readers interested in Hollywood, actors’ craft, and stories of personal and professional reinvention.
