Geena Davis had already made a name for herself in films like "Beetlejuice" and "Thelma & Louise" before taking on the role of Dottie Hinson in "A League of Their Own" (via IMDb). Since portraying the simple farm girl who transitions to the Chicago Major Leagues, Davis has managed to stay in the glow of Hollywood's limelight, thanks to roles in the "Stuart Little" franchise, "Grey's Anatomy" and "GLOW".
In addition to her professional success, Davis has also found fulfillment through her philanthropy work. She founded the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media in 2004 (via Us Magazine), "the only research-based organization working collaboratively within the entertainment industry to create gender balance, foster inclusion and reduce negative stereotyping in family entertainment media" (via See Jane). In a 2020 interview with The Guardian, Davis explained, "Our goal is very simple: the storytellers and people on screen should reflect the population, which is half female and incredibly diverse. It's not like: 'Wow, what a far-fetched idea!' It just makes total sense."
Unlike her character Dottie, who linked up with husband Bob at the end of the film, Davis is still looking for love. She's been divorced four times, following marriages to Richard Emmolo, Jeff Goldblum, Renny Harlin and Reza Jarrahy, with whom she had three children. Davis doesn't have plans to wed again anytime soon, but states, "With my track record people might be skeptical" (via The Guardian).
