Sheryl Crow; Terry Wyatt/Gettyof her choreography is done on airplanes, where
she writes out dance ideas in Word on her laptop,
and once she even tested some moves in the plane’s
bathroom. “ I have to do that so I won’t forget!” she
says.
Now that she’s just getting started, Silver is
shimmying her way toward a bright future. “Don’t
feel like you have to stay in the box,” she offers by
way of advice. “I think you should always try to do
multiple things. I was doing videography, editing,
acting, choreographing, charity work.” She grins.
“ Who k nows what I’l l do nex t? ” QThe Champion

was my first audition, and I got the part.”
Onscreen, Davis’s unique blend of vulnerabil-
ity and strength, goofiness and intelligence (she’s
famously a member of Mensa, with a reported IQ
of 140), has made her the perfect heroine for our
age. And in real life, all those traits are still very
present, even in casual conversation. She speaks
slowly, in a low, measured voice, and chooses her
words carefully, but she’s also quick to laugh and is
brutally honest about her own journey toward
self-acceptance. A breakthrough happened for
Davis in her 40s, when she discovered a previously
u n t a p p e d a t h l e t i c a b i l i t y : a r c h e r y. S h e wa s s o g o o d
that she made it to the semifinals of the trials for
the Sydney Olympics.
“My coach started working with me on self-
talk,” she says. “I would shoot an arrow, and my
coach would say to me, ‘What were you just think-
ing?’ ‘Uh, I was thinking, “I suck.”’ Then he would
be like, ‘Well, we have to fix that.’ I became aware
that I was doing this all day long, telling myself
that I was awful and embarrassing. So it was really
helpful to change all that. ‘I’m doing the best I can.
I’m trying my best’—that’s the conversation I
should be having. It impacted my whole life.”
While Davis continues to appear in films and
recently wrapped Eve, a drama with Jessica Chas-
tain and Colin Farrell, her most important work in
the industry at the moment is the research she and
her team at the institute are commissioning. The
data they ’re producing are hard to refute, and Da-
vis’s hope is that they will instigate lasting change.
The institute’s motto, “If she can see it, she can
b e it ,” r el at e s t o mor e t h a n ju s t s t or y t el l i n g. D a v i s ,
like the rest of us, watched the recent midterm
elections carefully and was encouraged by the
number of first-time female government officials
elected. “It’s going to take tremendous effort over
decades to get any where close to parity,” says Da-
vis. “But onscreen we could reach parity over-
night. The next movie somebody makes that has
s c ene s wit h C on g r e s s i n it , w e ma k e it h a l f w omen.
If we show a version of the president’s cabinet, we
make that half women. You see it and you realize,
‘Hey, that’s someone like me. I could do that.’ Then
maybe life would imitate art.”
What we need, Davis says, are real-life role
models that women can see and aspire to be like
and that men can accept and embrace. What we
need are more women like Davis.
“It’s very simple,” she adds, her smile widening,
revealing a glint of Thelma in her eyes. “You just
have to expand the possibilities.” Q
