Geena Opens Up
Davis recently interviewed with The LA Times to discuss not only “The Boroughs” but also recently becoming a trending topic after appearing at Coachella. Regarding the much-talked-about appearance, she said, “The reaction really blew my mind. I didn’t expect to suddenly be trending!”
From there, she discussed the series, saying, “It’s such a special project, so well-written. And I just love the ensemble.” She added, “I wanna kick some [but], stack some bodies. The gray rebellion rises.”
Regarding the timing of the Netflix series and the Coachella signing a “Davis-sance,” she quipped, “It’s a Geena-sance. Although I guess Davis-sance is good as well.”
Toward the end of the discussion, Davis reflected on her career and the choices she has made. According to her, “I decided early on that I didn’t want to play just the girlfriend of the person doing the stuff. I wanted to do cool stuff, too. I have avoided being typecast.”
