Cutthroat Island ruined Geena Davis’ marriage and career
The League of Their Own and Thelma & Louise, among other films, helped Geena Davis rise to fame and earn multiple nominations for awards. Cutthroat Island, a pirate film, blasted her from prominence just as her career was reaching its zenith.
Opponents declared that they would sooner walk the plank than ever have to endure it. In addition, the star’s marriage to director Renny Harlin suffered due to the movie’s failure, and the two separated in 1998.
