Gina Gershon
(born June 10, 1962) is an American actress. Gershon was
born in Los Angeles, California to Stan Gershon and
Mickey Koppel, of Jewish heritage. She has dated hotel
owner Shawn McPherson, wealthy entrepreneur Jay Penske,
and actors John Cusack and Owen Wilson. She attended
Beverly Hills High School with Lenny Kravitz and the two
remain close friends.
Sultry, dark-eyed, brunette leading actress Gina Gershon
mixes a muscular toughness with her seductive
femininity. Born the youngest of five children, raised
in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, Gershon gets her
exotic looks from her French, Russian, and Dutch
heritage. After high school, she decided she wanted a
more sophisticated image than those usually attributed
to Valley Girls like herself and so moved to the Big
Apple, to earn a bachelor of arts degree at New York
University. While in New York, she studied acting with
such well-known teachers as Sandra Seacat, David Mamet,
and Harold Guskin. She started out in theater and worked
on both coasts.
Since the mid-'80s, Gershon has carved out a living as a
reliable character actress on both the big and the small
screens. Her most notable role on the tube was that of
Nancy Sinatra, the famous wife of Old Blue Eyes himself,
in the CBS miniseries Sinatra (1994). Gershon made her
feature film debut playing a small role opposite Molly
Ringwald in 1986's Pretty in Pink, and graduated to the
jucier role of of Coral opposite Tom Cruise in Cocktail
(1988).
Through the 1990s, Gershon vascillated between high-brow
and low-brow fare, the former exemplified by her
memorable turns in John Sayles's City of Hope (1991),
Robert Altman's The Player (1992), and Michael Mann's
The Insider (1999); the latter, by her gleeful,
scenery-chewing work in Best of the Best 3 and the
infamous Showgirls (both 1995). Gershon's signature
role, however, was a synthesis of B-movie pulp and indie
smarts, courtesy of the Wachowski brothers' twisty 1996
neo-noir Bound.
Cast as a woman falling in love with an abusive
gangster's moll, Gershon was able to radiate an
intelligence, sexuality, and power not afforded her by
previous scripts, and the lead part would go a long way
in establishing her screen persona into the new
millenium.
Gershon is regarded as a gay icon due to her roles in
movies such as Bound (in which she played a butch
lesbian) and Showgirls (which is regarded as a camp
classic). She was ranked #51 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women
of 2004. Gershon played Jew's harp on "I Can't
Decide", a song on the Scissor Sisters 2006 release
Ta-Dah. Gershon did a stint in the starring role of
Sally Bowles in the award-winning 1998 revival of
Cabaret on Broadway.
