After "A League of Their Own" — for which Geena Davis scored her second Golden Globe nomination — the American actress starred in "The Long Kiss Goodnight," "Stuart Little," "Speechless" — for which she earned her third Globe nod — and, more recently, the 2020 action flick "Ava." She also headlined the short-lived TV series "The Geena Davis Show," "Commander in Chief" — for which she scored an Emmy nomination and won her first Golden Globe — and "The Exorcist." She portrayed Dr. Nicole Herman on "Grey's Anatomy" off and on between 2014 and 2018 and recently starred on the third season of "GLOW." A year after "A League of Their Own" debuted, she married her third husband: her "Cutthroat Island" and "The Long Kiss Goodnight" director Renny Harlin. She filed for divorce in 1997 after he welcomed a child with a woman who'd worked as a personal assistant for each of them. In 2001, she married Dr. Reza Jarrahy, though she's since argued that their union was never legally binding. They welcomed daughter Alizeh in 2002 and twin sons Kian and Kaiis in 2004. The plastic surgeon filed for divorce in 2018.
