Dying of Politeness

So wonderful to hear Geena Davis read her memoir aloud. I appreciated her using different accents and the voices she did to represent her parents were fantastic. She was delightful and charming. Also loved her documentary I saw on Netflix “This Changes Everything” about representation of women in the film industry. She doesn't mention the documentary by name but she does talk about the research that went into it and some of the positive outcomes from the data and discussions.

Love her openness about discussing her depression and ADD, her mother's Alzheimer's, and her father's aging.

Highlights and quick things to help jog my memory: being a mannequin/part of the window dressing, going to Sweden to study abroad as a high school senior, the donkey, the question about her children being “natural” or IVF and her answer, and archery.
