Geena Davis Embraces Height, ADD, and Authenticity

Geena Davis, a celebrated Hollywood actress, recently graced the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards in Los Angeles, appearing remarkably youthful. Her career, which began over four decades ago, has seen her star in iconic films like 'Tootsie,' 'Beetlejuice,' and 'Thelma & Louise.'

Davis has spoken openly about her journey to self-acceptance, particularly regarding her six-foot stature. She shared that as an adult, she learned to embrace her height and her whole self unapologetically. This personal growth led her to write a children's book, 'The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page,' to encourage young people to be true to themselves.

Furthermore, Davis revealed in 2022 that she was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) by a therapist. This diagnosis brought significant relief, helping her understand past struggles and release a long-held burden of shame. She noted that understanding the reason behind her difficulties made her feel less ashamed.

Davis also shared how her friendship with Susan Sarandon profoundly influenced her. Sarandon showed her the power of expressing oneself authentically and without hesitation, a stark contrast to Davis's own tendency to be overly polite. This encounter inspired Davis to live more fully and in the moment.
