It was a reunion more than three decades in the making. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, the beloved duo from the 1991 classic “Thelma & Louise,” delighted fans as they reunited at Rhode Island Comic Con, posing for photos and sharing smiles that instantly brought back memories of their iconic film.
A Sweet Reunion
Sarandon, 79, known for timeless performances in “Dead Man Walking,” “Stepmom,” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” looked effortlessly cool in a black cap with her signature red curls framing her face. Davis, 69, radiated warmth in a colorful knit cardigan and jeans, beaming beside her longtime friend as fans playfully recreated the movie’s unforgettable road-trip moment.
Davis Stays Largely Out of the Spotlight
GettyWhile Susan Sarandon often stays in the public eye, Geena Davis prefers a quieter presence. She rarely posts photos of herself on social media, though she occasionally shows up in snapshots shared by friends.
Recently, actress Joanna Cassidy posted a picture from a memorial for Dabney Coleman, where Davis appeared glowing and warm as the two smiled for a selfie.
“What a memorable time at Dabney Coleman’s memorial at the iconic restaurant #dantanasrestaurant with family and friends,” Cassidy wrote. “@geenadavisorg and I shared stories of Buffalo Bill!!!! Incredible comedy we did together in the eighties!!!!! Brilliant!!!”
The candid moment offered fans a rare glimpse of the Oscar-winning star, who continues to age gracefully while mainly staying out of the spotlight.
Sarandon Makes Her London Stage Debut

The performance marked another milestone in a career that continues to evolve with bold new challenges.
