Gina Gershon is the pillow-lipped actress known for playing sexy lesbians and femme fatales in movies like Bound and Showgirls. Gershon grew up in Los Angeles and moved east after high school, attending Emerson College in Boston before transferring to NYU. Her first big movie role came in 1988 when she was cast in Cocktail with Tom Cruise. More than a dozen films followed during the '90s, although none ever quite earned her A-list status in Hollywood. In recent years, she's appeared on Broadway (as Sally Bowles in Cabaret, Rosie Alvarez in Bye Bye, Birdie, and Gabriella in Boeing-Boeing), in a handful of indie films, and on a number of television shows (including Curb Your Enthusiasm and How to Make it in America). In addition to her acting credits, Gershon's also written a children's book with her brother and played Jew's Harp on songs by Rufus Wainwright, the Scissor Sisters, and Herbie Hancock, among others. A Vanity Fair rumor suggested she'd had a brief fling with President Bill Clinton in 2008, but little evidence supported it (though she is, despite her notable queer-leaning roles, straight-identified).
