Geena Davis opens up about taking turns working with Bill Murray

Geena Davis has some horror stories about working with Bill Murray.

Talk about “On with Kara Swisher” in New York Magazine. Davis recounted two specific instances where Murray made her extremely uncomfortable while working with him on the 1990 comedy. Quick change.

First, Davis shared how she met Murray and the Quick change co-producers when the massage incident occurred.

“I’m like ‘No, no, no thanks.’ And he goes on,” Davis said. “And I keep saying ‘no’ to the point where I had to yell at him, ‘Stop asking me! Which I was way too embarrassed to do. So I sat on the corner of the bed and let him do it and he did it for a second and then he didn’t ask how I liked it or anything so I figured it was just to see if he could force me to do something to do inappropriately,” Davis said.

“I looked at them and hoped they’d say, ‘Come on Bill, give it up’ or something. But they didn’t,” Davis said. She added that she later found out that Murray – who was worried she might have an inflated ego after just winning an Oscar – was testing her.

The next day Murray was still playing with her, she claimed.

“We shot a big scene at an intersection in Manhattan with hundreds of extras and a big crew and all that stuff. And they said, ‘We’re ready for you to rest,'” Davis said. “Well, Costumes asked me to wait here. Can I do that or should I come with you? He said, ” No, no, no.” The AD said, “No, go ahead. Wait here.’ “

That’s when Murray allegedly stormed into her dressing room and shouted at her.

“‘Bring the fk over there! what the hell are you doing Movement! Move,'” Davis said, quoting Murray.

“And he came up behind me and shouted in my ear: ‘Move! Move faster! Move!’ And we get to this intersection where hundreds of people are watching, and he keeps going until he says, ‘Stand there,’ and he points to a marker on the sidewalk and starts shooting,” she said.

Murray later asked her what was going on, she added.

“When I talk about it, it’s still — it’s very emotional for me because I felt so ashamed, you know, for someone who wants to fix things. You know,” Davis said.
