How ‘A League of Their Own’ made you think that it was Geena Davis at the end

Thirty-three years ago today, the historic baseball photo A league apart Mounted on the plate and knocked it out of the park. Directed by Penny Marshall and with Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell, and, as a Grignonneux coach, Tom Hanks, the film was a professional league based on the basic girls of the world’s world war.

The film was a winner winner and a critical success, also becoming a classic of instant summer. The film laughed, thrills, camaraderie, classic lines (“There are no crying in baseball!”), And the required nail bottle that comes with a self -respecting sports film. But the English on the ball came in the additional sleeves – a big shot on the heart strings when we move forward “today”, seeing the girls who kept relevant baseball during the war years who finally obtain their due with a presentation of the renowned temple.

Cooperstown license sequences NY present what many viewers can think, at first, is only Geena Davis in aging makeup. But that was not the case. She was an older actress in the game. However, there was a short magic film that was going there, so don’t feel too bad if you were fooled.

As the producer of the film Elliot Abbott said Los Angeles Times In 1992, the enveloping scenes with other actresses had everyone a little nervous.

“We thought it was a bet,” he said. “We didn’t know if it was going to work or not, which scared us to death.”

There was a large casting search to find older versions of the main distribution, and they were delighted when actress Lynn Cartwright, in the mid -1960s, interviewed to play the role of the mid -1960s that Geena Davis played, Dottie Hinson.

“We were not looking for someone who looked like him,” said Abbott. “We were also looking for someone who had the same behavior, someone whose mouth moved in the same way, who said the same words in the same way. Lynn’s ways were really adapted to Geena.”

But there is an end of torsion. Cartwright’s voice was apparently much deeper than that of Davis, and that “you would have withdrawn. That’s all you would have thought,” according to the producer. So the decision was made to see Davis nickname his own voice. And that’s probably why so many people (maybe even you!) Think that it’s really Geena Davis in these scenes.
