It was 25 years ago that Geena Davis played a member of a women’s baseball team in “A League of Their Own.” Now the Oscar-winning actress visits TODAY to reminisce about the film, saying that it inspired her to take up athletics in real life, and that many girls and women tell her the same thing.

I have met and talked with several stars along the way. If you are gracious, most are pleasant and down to earth. Bill Pullman actually graduated from our local college. Several stars have vacation homes in the area. 👍🙂

As I type this it's now 30 years ago this weekend that the film opened in theaters. Just went back and watched it again on Prime. STILL made me tear up at the end when they show the gals in the reunion game under the closing credits. Old dude here who used to umpire fast pitch until my body gave up. I'm thrilled to see so many girls and young women commenting here that this picture was at least part of what encouraged them to play ball. So, so very important to hear women's voices!

mlvc82 it is because they are insecure with Madonna's massive success. maybe they were oriented not to ask about madonna

Geena was asked about working with Madonna on the View. She said she would pose nude at 60. She is 2 years older than Madonna.

@@prosygumbao3378 Maybe because Madonna, despite her massive success OUTSIDE the movie...wasn't really that a key a character INSIDE the movie. The interview was not about Madonna, it was about the movie. Wanna see an interview about Madonna, google "Interviews with and about Madonna." Plenty of stuff out there.

Its weird to see how uncomfortable both the hosts looked when they were talking about the Geena Davis Institute of Gender in media. It’s like they were nervous about how much she has accomplished and then the guy turns the conversation to her kids since they felt more comfortable to talk about them with her.
