- Dying of politeness / by Davis, Geena,author.;
From two-time Academy Award winner and screen icon Geena Davis, the surprising tale of her "journey to badassery"--from her epically polite childhood to roles that loaned her the strength to become a powerhouse in Hollywood. At three years old, Geena Davis announced she was going to be in movies. Now, with a slew of iconic roles and awards under her belt, she has surpassed her childhood dream--but the path to finding yourself never did run smoothly. In this simultaneously hilarious and candid memoir, Davis regales us with tales of a career playing everything from an amnesiac assassin to the parent of a rodent, her eccentric childhood, her relationships, and helping lead the way to gender parity in Hollywood--all while learning to be a little more badass, one role at a time. Dying of Politeness is a touching account of one woman's journey to fight for herself, and ultimately fighting for women all around the globe.- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Davis, Geena.; Motion picture actors and actresses;

The film accumulates startling facts and statistics that leave audiences shaken and armed with a new perspective.E.DVD; NTSC; widescreen presentation (16:9) aspect ratio; Dolby digital 2.0.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Gender identity in mass media.; Leadership in women.; Women in mass media.; Women in popular culture; Women; Women;
