"Its sweet we know eachother so well," says Goldblum of ex-wife Davis (with him at their 1989 EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY premiere
"Jeff makes a joke out of everything," observed his first wife, actress Patricia Gaul (here singing in the rain with him in 1980).
"Hes happier than ever," says sister Pam of Goldblum (relaxing at home), "and more accepting of life on life's terms."
that I had a lot more to learn."
Geena Davis was the one he decided to learn it with. The pair began dating seriously when playing opposite eachother in THE FLY. They wed in 1987 in Las Vegas, with pal Ed Begley Jr. and his then wife Ingrid, as attendants. Although the rangy couple (she's a six footer) seemed so right for eachother, the marrage quickly bottomed out. "Were both independant types, unconventional and free spirited," muses Goldblum about their 1990 divorse. "I think we
were lucky to get together and we both had a great time."
These days, the two are replaying the good times, seeing eachother once a week or so. On a recent Sunday afternoon, Geena, Jeff, sister Pam, and her boyfriend, artist Jeffery Keistershot, loiled around Goldblums pool and later dyed easter eggs. "I love Geena," Pam says "Im really glad they are buddies." Says Goldblum "Were close and soothingly caring toward eachother." Any remarrage in sight? "I dont know," he says. "I dont predict anything."
In the meantime Goldblum relishes his independence. An avid painter whose colourful abstract work fills his house, he sometimes asks first time dates
to paint a canvas with him. Or read movie scripts a deux. Other wise he likes being alone. "Ive been married my whole adult life," He points out. "I like taking care of myself. I like the rhythm of it, going to bed when I want, eating when I want. I dont feel the need right now to possess anybody. And I dont want to be possessed. I like being, uh, free, you know in all kinds of ways."
