The Geena Davis peeling an onion scene is from when she was speaking on stage after being presented an award at a broadcaster ceremony, which was from the movie "Hero" with Dustin Hoffman

You're right. It's Geena Davis in the movie Hero.
from imdb: In the movie, after receiving an award, Gail Gayle mentions "Life is like an Onion, you peel away and the story becomes different, but when you peel everything away, everything is all a lie" as part of her News acceptance award speech.
Woot!! I was the PP who suggested Geena Davis! If only there was a way to monetize my memory for random details from old 80s and 90s movies, b/c my poor, aging, peri-menopause foggy brain is FULL of them! But I can't remember where I put my reading glasses.
Well done! I, too, have a brain full of trivia about 80s and 90s movies and my aging brain can't remember where I put my phone. Solidarity!

Or you could go the horror movie route and think this is some Silence of the Lamb type reference.

I keep thinking about a scene from an older movie where the actress delivers a monologue while peeling an onion. The monologue ends with her saying something like 'now there's nothing left' and the onion is gone too. Anyone have any idea what movie this is?
