Geena Davis Reveals Bill Murray Harassed Her

Geena Davis has claimed that Bill Murray harassed her on the set of the 1990 film Quick Change.

In her new memoir, Dying of Politeness, Davis alleges that Murray used a massage device on her during their first meeting in a hotel suite, even after she refused the offer.

She also claims that the actor screamed at her for being late while she was waiting on wardrobe, and kept yelling at her from her trailer to set.

“That was bad. The way he behaved at the first meeting,” Davis told The Times during an interview. “I should have walked out of that or profoundly defended myself, in which case I wouldn’t have got the part.”

In the book, the Massachusetts native also reflects on her regret over the situation. “I could have avoided that treatment if I’d known how to react or what to do during the audition,” she said. “But, you know, I was so non-confrontational that I just didn’t.”

She adds that she doesn’t want to focus on what could have been done differently, saying, “There’s no point in regretting things, and yet, here I was regretting. And yes, exactly, it wasn’t my fault.”

Davis starred as Murray’s onscreen girlfriend in the 1990 crime drama Quick Change. The movie, which is based on the novel of the same name by Jay Cronley, also featured Randy Quaid, Jason Robards and Stanley Tucci.

This isn’t the first time Murray has been accused of inappropriate behavior on set. Earlier this year, production on his film Being Mortal was suspended following an alleged incident with another cast member.

“I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way,” Murray told CNBC in April. “The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out, investigate it, and so they stopped the production.”

Murray added: “As of now, we are talking and we are trying to make peace with each other. We are both professionals, we like each others’ work, we like each other I think and if we can’t really get along and trust each other there’s no point in going further working together or making the movie as well. It’s been quite an education for me.”

Davis has had a successful career in Hollywood. She is best known for her roles in films such as Beetlejuice, Thelma & Louise, and A League of Their Own. She has also won a Golden Globe award and been nominated for an Academy Award.

Meanwhile, Murray is a well-known comedian and actor, best known for his roles in films such as Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, and Lost in Translation.

He has also won a Golden Globe award and been nominated for an Academy Award.

In light of these allegations, it remains to be seen how this will impact Murray’s career. As of now, it seems that he and Davis are trying to move past the situation and make peace with each other.
