Did Geena Davis play her older self?


If she did, it was very well done. It appears she did but there was a scene the character looked to be lip syncing.

See, this is the IMDb - that stands for Internet Movie Database, and it has all kinds of information about the movies, TV shows, etc. that people come here to comment on. So, the trick is to look up the media presentation you are interested in, and find out the answer to the easy questions yourself: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104694/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

No need to be an ass. Besides, what's the point of typing all that? In the same amount of time and keystrokes you could've just answered the OP's question.

vincentsteely, it wasn't Davis in old-age makeup. In fact, the elderly characters were all played by lookalikes. Old Dottie was played by Lynn Cartwright, a character actress who worked steadily on television for 37 years. (A League of Their Own was her last acting gig.) Sadly, she passed away ten years ago. The reason why she looked to be lip-synching is because her dialog was dubbed by Geena herself in post-production. Davis said in the making of documentary "Nine Memorable Innings" (found in the Special Edition DVD) that Lynn spoke too fast, so she had trouble trying to match Lynn's lip movements.

I thought the comment was a humorous attempt to tell the poster: don't be so lazy, look it up yourself. How many times have you seen "How old is so-and-so?" or "Who played the role of ?" If you are tech savvy enough to get to the IMDB in the first place, then why ask the board for help on such readily available stuff? Sorry. I don't think the OP was being an ass.

BTW, I laughed out loud when I saw your username. I suppose it means you are a marvelous lass, but you can see the other connotation, I hope. It's like another Tom Hanks film, That Thing You Do. The group is named "The Oneders," as in "One-ders / Wonders", get it? But people keep calling them the Oh-needers. LOL! So, you are Marvel-Ass, until otherwise corrected. Personally, I don't mind people trying to tell other people to look it up themselves, but it is a useless waste of time. People are who they will be.

Don't bother flaming me. I shan't be back this way again.

It actually is an amalgam of marvel and ass, as well as a corruption of marvelous. My first name is Marvin, so I was called "Marvelous Marvin" or simply "Marvelous" growing up, but it wasn't until after high school that "Marvelous" morphed into "Marvelass" because of my ample bottom. I came out in college and my new gay friends said my ass was a marvel.

I have a great ass, too... but I'm a teen girl. Sometimes my doctor requests to see it as part of my yearly physical. He says, "Let me check the back." I know he just wants to appreciate it, so I comply.

I'm a real kewl kat.🐈

I'm with both of you. Seriously, you have to scroll past the cast list to get to the boards even...

The first time I saw the movie I thought the older Dottie Hinson may have been Geena Davis in prosthetic makeup or Davis's mother.

reply

I thought that same thing too. It definitely looked like her and of course sounded like her. I was disappointed to see another actresses name for that credit. But if it had really been her I'm sure it would have been exposed by now.

reply

They did a great job finding look alikes for both Geena Davis and also Lori Petty, until now I swore it was just them both in a lot of makeup.

reply

I always thought she did till I looked it up! They got an amazing actor to play her..

reply

They could all gather together in a few years and reshoot that scene.
