Gershon Gina
Date of Birth
10 June 1962
Since making her unaccredited debut as a dancer Beatlemania (1981) (1981), Gina Gershon has established herself as a character actress and one of the leading icons of American camp. For it was fourteen years after her movie debut that Gina made movie history as the predatory bisexual who was the leading light of a Las Vegas leg-line in director Paul Verhoeven's kitsch classic Showgirls (1995). Exploding out a a plaster-of-paris volcano clad in nothing but body makeup and a G-string, Gina Gershon obtained cinema immortality. After "Showgirls", she solidified her reputation playing a lesbian sexpot in the Wachovski Bros' neo-noir Bound (1996). She now is an icon in that part of the gay community that worships camp like a secular religion.
