Thelma and Louise, 20 years later

Last evening, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, located in Beverly Hills, celebrated the 20th anniversary of this iconic road warrior film.  Geena Davis, producer, Mimi Polk Gitlin and screenwriter, Callie Khouri, appeared after the screening to talk about working on "Thelma & Louise", the instant pop culture touchstone for the '90's.  It earned six Oscar nominations with Khouri winning for her original script.  Julie Wagner, Director BHCVB, thoroughly enjoyed the buddy movie about two great friends trapped in mundane lives.
