Davis was born January 21, 1956, in Wareham, Massachusetts. Her mother, Lucille (née Cook; June 19, 1919 – November 15, 2001), was a teacher's assistant, and her father, William F. Davis (November 7, 1913 – April 2, 2009), was a civil engineer and church deacon; her parents were both from small towns in Vermont.[9] She has a brother named Danforth ("Dan").[10][11] At an early age, she became interested in music. She learned piano and flute and played organ well enough as a teenager to serve as an organist at her Congregationalist church in Wareham.[12][13] Davis attended Wareham High School and was an exchange student in Sandviken, Sweden, becoming fluent in Swedish.[12] Enrolling at New England College, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in Drama from Boston University in 1979.[2][12]

Good Method Actress I like her Moves,... Glad She Got Rid of Pitt the Prick,.. The other "type" is method acting. Where the actor uses a series of exercises to portray their character to the best of their ability. They may, fill in a questionnaire about their character to try and find things out about the character that isn't written in the script like who their favourite celebrity is and what their life motto is. The most extreme method acting is where, for instance if the performer was playing a nun, they would go and live at an abbey for a while to see what it truly is like to be a nun.
