Geena Davis, 70, is promoting her new Netflix series 'The Boroughs' ahead of its May 21 premiere. The show follows a group of retirees in an upscale community who uncover a mysterious threat. Davis plays Renee, a volunteer eager for action, and the ensemble cast includes Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodard, and Bill Pullman.
Davis recently appeared at Coachella during Sabrina Carpenter's set, where she participated in a skit referencing her 1991 film 'Thelma & Louise,' which turns 35 on May 24. The cult classic is being celebrated at the Cannes Film Festival, where it serves as the official poster's centerpiece.
Davis discussed her career and new projects during an interview with CBS Mornings. She reflected on her Oscar-winning role in 'The Accidental Tourist' (1988) and her work in films like 'A League of Their Own' (1992) and the 'Stuart Little' franchise. 'The Boroughs' marks her return to a leading role in a series, blending action and drama.
The 79th Cannes Film Festival, running from May 12 to 23, is honoring 'Thelma & Louise' with special screenings and tributes. The film, directed by Ridley Scott and written by Callie Khouri, remains a cultural touchstone for its portrayal of female friendship and rebellion.
