Thelma & Louise 30th Anniversary (MGM) Interview Geena Davis & Susan Sarandon.
Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon and Callie Khouri Recall the Life-Altering Experience of ‘Thelma & Louise’ at 30th Anniversary Screening.
The ending of “Thelma & Louise” stands as one of Hollywood’s most epic finales, but for screenwriter Callie Khouri, writing the scene was simply a no-brainer.
“It literally just appeared in my head. And I knew that that was the ending,” Khouri told Variety at the film’s screening at Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on June 18. “I’m so grateful to Ridley for keeping it that way, because I know that there were people who were nervous about it.”
The 30th anniversary celebration of “Thelma & Louise” by MGM and Cinespia brought Khouri, Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon together for a Q+A and drive-in charity experience that benefited the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. The two leading ladies donned matching shirts that read, “I’m Her Thelma & She’s My Louise.”
