Are You Dying of Politeness? Geena Davis Explains.
Geena Davis became a breakout star in Hollywood, with an Oscar under her belt and starring roles in hit films like \u201cA League of Their Own\u201d and \u201cThelma & Louise.\u201d Yet even all that success didn\u2019t always protect her from feeling small in Hollywood. In this episode, we visit her memoir, \u201cDying of Politeness,\u201d and Davis opens up about moments in her life and career when she felt too polite to speak up. Decades later, many of these moments remain raw.\n\nBefore and after the episode, Kara and Nayeema reflect on their own personal experiences, talk about the tax that women pay and discuss how Hollywood, Silicon Valley and other powerful industries have changed \u2014 and how they haven\u2019t.\xa0\n\nYou can find Kara Swisher and Nayeema Raza on Twitter @karaswisher and @nayeema.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
