Biography

Personal life

Gershon was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Mickey (née Koppel), an interior decorator, and Stan Gershon, who worked in import/export business and sales.[1][2] Gershon is Jewish,[1] and has a brother, Daniel, and a sister, Tracy. She attended Beverly Hills High School with Lenny Kravitz.[3] She then went on to attend Emerson College with the likes of comedians Denis Leary and Mario Cantone. Gershon has dated hotel owner Sean McPherson, wealthy entrepreneur Jay Penske, and actors John Cusack and Owen Wilson.

A 2008 Vanity Fair article linked her with former President Bill Clinton[4]. Speaking on the U.S. television show Live with Regis and Kelly on June 9, she said, "It is such a crazy, outrageous lie.... I met him three times at events. It disturbed me on so many levels. I felt I had to stand up and say the truth."[5]

In addition to Clinton, Gina has been romantically linked in the past with Beck, Owen Wilson, Benjy Bronk, Balthazar Getty, Jennifer Tilly and Larry David

Career

Gershon is regarded as a gay icon[6] because of her roles in movies such as Bound (in which she played a butch lesbian) and Showgirls (which is regarded as a camp classic). At the same time, her sultry good looks and frequent nude appearances in other films have also gained her a substantial heterosexual male fan base. She was ranked #51 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2004.[7]

Gershon played Jew's harp on "I Can't Decide", a song on the Scissor Sisters 2006 release Ta-Dah. She also played Jew's harp on the song "I Do It For Your Love", Paul Simon's collaboration with Herbie Hancock on Hancock's "Possibilities" CD. On television, she has recurring roles on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm (as a Hasidic drycleaner), Rescue Me, and the U.S. dramedy series Ugly Betty (as Italian cosmetics mogul Fabia, the rival of Wilhelmina Slater). She also has served as the voiceover for Major League Baseball's "I Live For This" promotional campaign.
