Geena Davis was spotted wearing an exam-style mask and a scarf wrapped around her forehead as fans swarmed her at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
The Thelma & Louise star, 68, was at the annual event to promote the sequel to her 1988 classic Beetlejuice — cheekily titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice — which is set to hit theaters on September 5 of this year.
She was dressed casually in wide-legged jeans and a zip-front hoodie.
Geena is also slated to receive the Viola Davis Trailblazer Award — the second to be awarded — at the convention, which started on Monday.
CinemaCon is a gathering for the National Association of Theater Owners in which Hollywood studios, filmmakers and actors promote their upcoming films to entice exhibitors.

‘Geena Davis exemplifies the true essence of a trailblazer in Hollywood for not only her remarkable film career, but also in her tireless advocacy championing underrepresented voices in film and other forms of media,’ CinemaCon Managing Director Mitch Neuhauser said, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Geena will also be part of the panel awarding the grand prize in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films Red Ribbon competition, which will be screened at CinemaCon.
Davis won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her breakout role in 1989’s The Accidental Tourist.
