Geena Davis All-Star Ranking: After graduating from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in fine arts, Geena Davis signed with the Zoli modelling agency in New York, with an agenda to expand her repertoire to include acting. She made the obligatory turn as a waitress, then landed a memorable role as a soap-opera actress dressed only in her skivvies, in Tootsie. This auspicious start led to quirkier, more substantial television assignments, most notably on Family Ties and on the cult hit Buffalo Bill. Davis' stunning good looks and Mensa-level I.Q. made her a rare commodity in Hollywood: her unique ability to portray both goofy awkwardness and high-octane sexiness led to castings in a wide variety of roles. Davis's success in television was short-lived. At six feet tall, Davis is larger than life in life, and seemed custom-made for the more expansive panorama of a movie screen. She landed a small role in the Chevy Chase vehicle Fletch, but it was her dramatic turn in David Cronenberg's remake of The Fly that set her on the road to stardom. The film provided her with the opportunity to cut her acting teeth, and it led to a short marriage to the fly himself, Jeff Goldblum. With 1988's Beetlejuice, Davis proved that she could dart effortlessly between drama and comedy.
