GEENA DAVIS

When you’re on a winning streak at a casino, it’s hard to stop. You think you’ll constantly win while the iron is hot. That notion might have some truth, but it’s not always the case–sometimes one abruptly loses a streak, and sometimes, one ends up losing everything. Such was the case with Geena Davis’ career.

Davis’ career was on an upward slope. She went from being a model to an actress and then an Oscar winner. She starred in big movies such as The Fly and Beetlejuice. This came into a halt when she appeared in her husband’s film, Cutthroat Island.

The film lost a ton of investment money, having only pulled in $10 million at the box office, giving it an incredible deficit of $88 million. Davis has never achieved the same level of success since then.
