Gina Gershon

In the extensive filmography of this Hollywood actress, there are dozens of roles, with only a few of the main ones. Despite this, the characters she played are remembered on a par with the main characters thanks to the dazzling appearance and talented performance of Gina Gershon. Unconditional fame and a number of awards brought her roles in the films of the great provocateur Paul Verhoeven ("Showgirls") and the Wachowski sisters ("The Connection").

Gina Gershon was born on June 10, 1962 in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills. Stanley Gershon's father worked in sales, Mickey Gershon's mother is an interior designer. Gina became the youngest daughter of three children of a married couple. The actress has an older brother, Dan, and a sister, Tracy. Gina's grandparents are from Jewish families: on the father's side - from Russia, on the mother's side - from Poland.

Gina had to change her place of study often. She attended Collier Street Elementary School, then transferred to Woodland Hills Academy. An artistic girl at the age of 7 got her first role in a school production. Since then, she was fascinated by vocal and acting skills, and when the girl was 14 years old, her parents were forced to move to Beverly Hills so that her daughter could study at Beverly Hills High School and develop creatively, play in student performances.

In 1980, after graduating from high school, Gershon moved to Boston and attended Emerson College. Gina graduated from New York University (bachelor's degree in drama, psychology and philosophy), graduating in 1983.

Gina Gershon received her first acting experience on the stage, working with such playwrights as David Mamet and Harold Gaskin, who, as she later admitted, had a huge influence on her acting development. The actress began to receive her first roles in extras in the early 80s. Thanks to professional choreographic training, she played in the corps de ballet. Gershon's debut in film is considered to be a cameo role in the romantic comedy "Cutie in Pink" by Howard Deutsch.

Popularity comes to the actress only 2 years later, after the release of the picture "Cocktail" with Tom Cruise in the title role. Gershon played Coral - the girlfriend of Brian Flanagan (Cruz), an ambitious careerist who is forced to go to work as a bartender, and soon becomes a gigolo. The film had a successful distribution, but received mixed reviews: it was nominated for both the Golden Globe and the Golden Raspberry.

In any case, the work of the young actress did not go unnoticed, which affected her further relevance. In 1991, Gina appears in two notable films at once: the urban drama City of Hope and the crime thriller In the Name of Justice with Steven Seagal in the title role.

Яркая, броская внешность Джины стала причиной того, что режиссеры и продюсеры часто предлагают ей роли определенного амплуа. Так, в последнем фильме девушка сыграла «ночную бабочку» Пэтти Мадано. В 1993 году ее пригласили в суперпопулярный телепроект 90-х «Мелроуз-Плейс» - актриса сыграла проститутку Эллен из эскорта мадам Хейди Фляйс.

Поэтому, когда в 1995 году знаменитый режиссер Пол Верховен предложил артистке роль стриптизерши в своем новом фильме «Шоугелз», Гершон уже не удивилась. Однако она еще не знала, что эта работа станет прорывом в ее актерской карьере.

«Шоугёлз» - история о закулисной жизни знаменитого танцевально-эротического шоу в люкс-отеле «Звездная пыль». Джина сыграла приму шоу Кристал Коннорс, которая противостоит молодой, но амбициозной танцовщице Номи (Элизабет Беркли), приехавшей в Нью-Йорк в поисках лучшей жизни. Несмотря на 8 номинаций на «Золотую малину», фильм имел бешеный успех, а актеры картины стали суперзвездами.

Почти сразу Джина окунается в новый проект – криминальный триллер «Связь» сестер (на тот момент братьев) Вачовски. Гершон снялась в роли лесбиянки Корки, которая только что вышла из тюрьмы и поселилась по соседству с главой местной мафии Сизаром.

Вскоре между его любовницей Вайолетт и Корки возникает взаимная страсть. Женщины придумывают коварный план – украсть деньги клана и сбежать. Фильм оказался не очень успешен в прокате, но был выдвинут на получение нескольких кинонаград.

Очередная работа Джины – в суперкассовом боевике Джона Ву «Без лица» (1997), девушка сыграла Сашу Хасслер – возлюбленную преступника Кастора Троя, вокруг охоты за которым и разворачивается сюжет фильма.

К концу 90-х годов Джина Гершон зарекомендовала себя как яркая характерная актриса, ломающая стереотипы и не боящаяся самых скандальных образов. В начале 2000-х она вернулась на театральную сцену, сыграв Салли Боулз в мюзикле «Кабаре» в 2001 году. После небольшого перерыва вновь блистала на бродвейской сцене уже в 2008-2010 годах. Также стала одной из основательниц нью-йоркской театральной группы «Naked Angels».

В 2010 году Гершон блеснула в комедии «Ранчо любви» с Хелен Миррен и Джо Пеши в главных ролях: звездные актеры сыграли супружескую пару, открывшую свой бордель. Следующий год отметился работой вместе с Мэттью Макконахи в черной комедии «Киллер Джо», снятой оскароносным режиссером Уильмом Фридкиным.

В 2013-м Джина Гершон играет дизайнера Донателлу Версаче в фильме-биографии «Дом Версаче» об известном итальянском клане в мире большой моды. Для этой роли артистка впервые перекрасилась в блондинку и стала точной копией модельера.

Сегодня актриса уже не снимается так часто, как в молодости. Но при этом качество ее работы и фильмов по-прежнему остается на высоте. Из свежих работ знаменитости стоит назвать триллер «Непостижимое» режиссера Джонатана Бейкера, снятый в 2017 году. Здесь она играет главную роль вместе с Николасом Кейджем и Фэй Данауэй.

Gina Gershon's personal life has always been the focus of the paparazzi's attention. And although the actress was never officially married, she was always surrounded by prominent men.

In the early 90s, there was an affair with actor John Cusack. In 2000-2002, Gershon dated Owen Wilson. She was later seen in a love affair with Rafe Fiennes.

In 2008, Vanity Fair magazine published an article about the actress having a romantic relationship with former US President Bill Clinton, posting a photo of them together. This information was denied by both parties mentioned, saying that they met only at official events.

Since 2015, Gershon began dating Belgian footballer Bobby Deckiser. However, in January 2018, the movie star announced that they were no longer together. The actress has no children.

In addition to the acting profession, the Hollywood diva is engaged in music, sometimes performs with songs of her own composition. Gershon is also the author of children's books. In 2008, the first edition of Camp Creepy Time was published, a story about a boy who discovers aliens while on vacation at a summer camp. The book was co-authored with brother Dan Gershon.

Now, in addition to working in films, the actress is engaged in the filming of the series "Riverdale", which started on American television screens in 2018 and was renewed in 2019. Gershon has been playing a regular role as Gladys Jones since season 3 of the project.

Gina is also busy in new film projects and will soon appear in the comedies "Craftique" and "The Mimic".
