January 21 is a day of celebration, especially for actress Geena Davis, who turns 70 today. Known for her groundbreaking roles in classics like“Thelma and Louise”and“A League of Their Own,”she continues to be a beacon for women’s representation in film and media, proving that age is just a number when it comes to impact. In addition to her acting achievements, Davis’s unexpected venture into archery, where she competed for the US Olympic team, showcases her determination and versatility.
This date in history also features significant events, like the first Monte Carlo Rally in 1911 and the establishment of The Wilderness Society in 1935, which has played a vital role in wilderness conservation. And let’s not forget the grassroots “cash mob” initiative in Ohio that helped breathe new life into a beloved local hardware store! Today is filled with milestones, and as we celebrate Davis and these historic moments, it also happens to be National Hugging Day. So whether you’re throwing an Oscar-worthy party or just giving a great big squeeze to a friend, let’s embrace the goodness around us!
