In the early 1990s, actresses Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon teamed up for the movie Thelma & Louise. Now, they're joining forces once again for The Oprah Show!

Although it's been more than a decade since they first met, Geena says she remembers the day well. "I had been cast in Thelma & Louise, and I didn't know who was going to be the other person," she tells Susan. "Then it was you, [and] it was, like, so amazing."

Geena reveals that up until the moment she met Susan, she thought she could play the role of Thelma or Louise. "You walked in the room and immediately I was like, 'I could never play Louise!'" she says.

Neither actress won an Oscar® for her contribution to that classic road-trip flick, but both have received Hollywood's top honor for other roles.
