Geena Davis traces her journey from small town girl to Hollywood star and activist

Geena Davis has starred in some of the biggest movies of the last 40 years, like Thelma & Louise, The Fly, Beetlejuice and A League of Their Own. Even after winning two Oscars, she never seemed to let the fame get to her head. In her new memoir, Dying of Politeness, she writes about her journey to stardom and how she learned to become a little bit more "badass" along the way. She also takes a pretty stark look into Hollywood and the mistreatment she experienced at auditions and on set. Davis joined Tom Power to tell us more.
