Geena Davis has been keeping a pretty low profile lately, and while many of you may have been wondering how she’s spending her time, I can now assure you that she’s doing just fine – she’s just been giving interviews about pretending to be a mannequin in the window of the Ann Taylor shop she worked in before her big break. Yes, seriously. Love it!
In an interview about her first big break, Davis told NPR (via NY Mag), “I didn’t know, but I had an uncanny ability to be still.” In fact, crowds gathered outside the store to argue about whether she was a plastic statue. It sounds like a lot of fun. The best part is that Davis says she tried to get her friends to dare her to hang out in the display window, and her friends refused, but she did it anyway. Sometimes, you’ve just got to dare yourself to be the best beautiful prankster mannequin you can be.
Well, I guess the smallest thing can lead to the biggest opportunities, or something? Also, Geena Davis is awesome. I would watch a whole movie of her pretending to be a mannequin in a store window. Make it happen, Hollywood!
Nice to see that it appears she’s not had plastic surgery.
