Linda Fiorentino

Born: 9th March 1960
Where: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Linda was one of a handful of applicants chosen to be part of the prestigious Circle in the Square Performing Workshop in New York.

Her big break came in 1984 when she made her feature film debut in the romantic drama Vision Quest. During the same year she demonstrated her full talent: a cool young sculptress in Martin Scorsese's After Hours, and a convincing femme fatale in Gotcha!

Linda finally got her breakthrough role in The Last Seduction. Later that year she starred in Jade, which was not received well. She explains, "I had a movie in the 10 best list, and the 10 worst list. And that says it all Doesn't it? That's show business in a nutshell".

She met Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld during a game of poker, where according to Linda, she got him to bet her the role and she won the hand!
