"If you risk nothing, then you risk everything."
~ Geena Davis
Famous actress, Geena Davis is known for starring in movies such as Thelma & Louise, Stuart Little, Beetlejuice, The Long Kiss Goodnight, etc.
Geena Davis is known for her height as well. She is extremely tall. She is the kind of woman who would stand shoulder to shoulder with a person like Samuel L. Jackson (6'2" in his prime) and still look very feminine and... well, very beautiful.
Geena has claimed many times in the past to be six feet tall, and after just taking a look at her, we think she knows her height better than many celebrities know their own.
Though now in her mid-sixties, Ms. Davis could be expected to lose some height due to age. Taller people lose height faster than the shorter ones, and it seems -- females seem even prone to it.
The height of Genna Davis in prime was
6" or 183 cm
Present height could be around 5'11½"
