This generation's Geena Davis?

Geena was known for playing the role of a smart capable woman well and I think that type of role is in Hailee's wheelhouse as well (see True Grit). Hailee doesn't do well when she plays typical teenage girls interested in typical teenage girl things. Like Geena before her, I think she would be well advised taking roles that play to her strengths.

Oh God, don't jinx the poor girl like this...Hailee does NOT need a Cutthroat's Island on her resume, thank you very much...

Geena is a very respected actress that has worked in Hollywood a long time. Right now, Hailee needs something. She cant hang her hat on True Grit forever.
