What

happens

in Vegas...

Hollywood star Geena Davis heads to

Sin City to star in wrestling hit GLOW

B

race yourselves for

another round of glitter

and grappling as we

return to the glamorous

world of female wrestling for

a third season of Netflix’s hit

1980s nostalgia-fest, GLOW.

The comedy drama has an

extra treat up its sleeve, too, as

Thelma & Louise legend Geena

Davis is a recurring guest star!

Telling the fictionalised

story of the Gorgeous Ladies of

Wrestling (GLOW), a real-life

1980s women’s professional

wrestling circuit, we rejoin the

group for their Las Vegas shows.

Oscar winner Geena plays

charismatic Sandy Devereaux

St Clair, a former showgirl-

turned-entertainment director

at the Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino.

‘It was such fun!’ says Geena,

63. ‘I adore that show and all the
    amazing women on it – behind
    and in front of the camera!’
    Geena appears in five of the
    10 new episodes, and the cast
    admit they were star-struck!
    ‘Having her on the set was
    amazing,’ says British star Kate
    Nash, 32, who plays Rhonda
    ‘Britannica’ Richardson. ‘We’d
    all sit together and then Geena
    Davis would be there, learning
    how to flip a card or roll dice!’
    Kate promises fans that the
    best is still to come in the new

series, which is set in Las Vegas

but still filmed in Los Angeles.

‘There’s some really

groundbreaking TV in our

show this season – there’s so

much happening for lots of

different characters,’ she says.

Safe to say there’s more drama

ahead as the group realise that

Sin City is more grind than glitz.

‘This season feels unlike

anything we’ve shot before,’

says Alison Brie, 36, aka Ruth

‘Zoya the Destroya’ Wilder. ‘All

of our characters are trying on

different versions of themselves,

and embracing the themes of

Las Vegas – you know, what

happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

It feels like there are no rules...’
