Geena Davis is opening up about working with Bill Murray. Reports over the years have said that Bill will often get upset on the set and cause issues with other actors. Geena experienced this firsthand while working with him on the 1990 film Quick Change. Bill was also the co-director with Howard Franklin.
The Times UK summarized the experience. They wrote, “Sheโs introduced to [Murray], she writes, in a hotel suite, where Murray greets her with something called The Thumper, a massage device he insists on using on her, despite her emphatically refusing. Later, while theyโre filming on location, Murray tracks Davis down in her trailer and begins screaming at her for being late (sheโs waiting for her wardrobe), continues to scream at her as she hurries onto the set and even as she gets there, in front of hundreds of cast, crew, curious passers-by.”

Geena later added, โThat was bad. The way he behaved at the first meetingโฆ I should have walked out of that or profoundly defended myself, in which case I wouldnโt have got the part. I could have avoided that treatment if Iโd known how to react or what to do during the audition. But, you know, I was so non-confrontational that I just didnโtโฆโ
