Fashion important to Davis' new role
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Geena Davis is wearing a Teddie outfit.
A black leather, zip-front skirt is unzipped just enough to emphasize the length of her long legs, encased in black fishnet tights and spike-heeled boots. Her skimpy cream sweater reveals the whole length of her long arms. Gold hoop earrings glisten against the waves of her russet hair.
The glamorous actress, known for her eye-catching style, is dressed in clothing suited for Teddie Cochran. That's the character she plays on The Geena Davis Show, her new ABC sitcom, which will air Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 8:30 p.m.
Although the series bears her name, and she's one of the executive producers, the sitcom was not conceived with Davis in mind.
No, not that sort of teddy
Off-camera, Davis insisted she was happy in simple workout clothes. But, even when acting goofy, Teddie is strictly high-style, dressed to the nines.
"The thing about Teddie is that she tries to keep all the balls in the air all the time," Davis said, explaining the many sides of the life of Cochran, a glamorous New York career woman who falls into a passionate love affair with a man (Peter Horton) who lives in the suburbs with his two kids. Moving in with him makes Cochran's life complicated. But that's the point.
Clearly, this is not a woman to be overlooked.
Davis said she looked for as much complication as possible in a role, and that this one is so complicated that she really could picture playing it for a number of years.
Creator and executive producer Terri Minsky couldn't imagine that a well-established movie star would want to do series television. But, of course, she's delighted that Davis responded with enthusiasm.
"The thing about Geena which is so great is that she's totally unafraid to make herself look silly and goofy." Minsky said.
"Life is all about prioritizing and compromising, but the humorous thing about Teddie is she doesn't want that," Davis said. "She's always forced to by the end, but she thinks, I'm Wonder Woman. I can do everything. Watch me do it."
