Gina Gershon

Gina Gershon was born on 10th June 1962 in Los Angeles, California, USA. A mix of Dutch, Russian and French, Gina is the daughter of Stan, a salesman, and Mickey, an interior decorator.

Gershon is well known for having a large and dedicated lesbian following, probably influenced in part by her roles in such movies as Bound and Showgirls, in both of which her character has a lesbian relationship. Much of her beauty is attributed to her lips, which are similar to those of Angelina Jolie but less well known.

Once she graduated high school, Gina headed out to Boston, but then went to San Francisco to study at the American Conservatory Theater. She headed back east to New York City, where she studied drama and child psychology at NYU.

One of the founding members of the New York based theater group, Naked Angels, Gina took her act to the stage in plays like Camille and The Substance of Fire. She finally got her break when she was cast in a bit part in 1986's Pretty in Pink.

1998 was busy for Gina, with roles in Palmetto, I'm Losing You, One Tough Cop, and Black and White. While staring in the TV series Snoops, Gina starred as an artist in the alternative film, Guinevere and played with big-timer Al Pacino in 1999's The Insider.
