Gina Gershon

Born: 10th June 1962
Where: Los Angeles

Gina first won notice within the theatre world as a co-founder of Naked Angels, a company of actors and writers.

She made her feature film debut with a small role in Pretty in Pink, but it took another two years before Gina won a film role that anyone really noticed, playing a socialite who seduces Tom Cruise in Cocktail.

That same year, she had a co-starring role opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in Red Heat, and continued to appear in small roles including one in John Sayles' City of Hope and Robert Altman's The Player.

She landed a role in Showgirls, and straight after went and filmed Bound, then had a featured role as Nicolas Cage's love interest in Face/Off.

2001 saw her Broadway debut in the acclaimed revival of Cabaret, and a feature part as Sylvester Stallone's ex-wife in Driven.
