Like many here, I stop the dial and watch this whenever I see it on. Happened again last evening.
I can never get over how much Geena Davis
looks
like a woman from the 1940s here. Hair, makeup, mannerisms, dress I can name all the elements but still not express it.
She looks like she just climbed off the nose of a B-17. She looks like an actual woman from the 1940s surrounded by a bunch of 1991 actresses who are just playing the part.
That said, I was born in the 1960s. Any one of my older IMDB colleagues who were alive at the time share my impression?

Geena Davis is extremely gorgeous in this movie. I had a huge crush on her then.

Her "Dottie" is great, but Nothing can match "Thelma".

SO TRUE!
I just 'landed' on this.. this afternoon while dial surfing & my immediate thought was: "i LOVE this movie!"
So of course i watched it!! And (TO ME!) Geena is the
most
"Authentic" character in this film..& do i believe that her AMAZING 'look' here sure helps!! ..Or perhaps thats just Geena.
This just may be the 'finest' film of hers that i have seen.. I SERIOUSLY DON'T Think there is another role of hers that has 'affected' me so..

I'm not old enough to answer your question, but I thought Geena D. was superb in her acting, her look, everything loved her in this.
