Gina Gershon, born on June 10, 1962, made her acting debut in 1981 as a dancer in "Beatlemania." Even though her role was uncredited, she gradually honed her craft and became an established character actress.

Before entirely making acting a career path, she had studied philosophy and psychology at New York University. After this, she attended the Tisch School of the Arts, graduating with a bachelor of fine arts degree in drama in 1983.

Gershon made her big screen break three years after graduation in "Pretty in Pink." Over a decade after her debut, she made history by playing the role of a predatory bisexual in the 1995 classic movie "Showgirls." The following year, her role in "Bound" solidified her industry position.

She has since starred in other movies and series, such as "Riverdale," "Lost in Oz," "Glee," "Red Oaks," "Emily the Criminal," "Borderline," and more, including voicing other animated characters. The actress is also notably known for playing Sasha Hassler alongside Nicolas Cage in "Face/Off."

While she has been in the entertainment industry for several decades, she has kept her relationships, family, and personal affairs relatively private. She has not been one to engage in tabloid fodder or paparazzi attention and instead focused on her career.

Gina Was in a Lesbian Neo-Noir Movie Her Agent Said Would Ruin Her Career

In 1995, when Gershon starred as ex-con Corky in the 1995 film "Bound," a neo-noir crime thriller directed by the Wachowskis, her agent advised her not to take the role. She said:

"My agents didn't want me to do it. Literally, I was told, 'You are ruining your career doing this movie. We will not let you do this movie.'"

In the film, she played the lead character, Corky, a lesbian ex-con who falls in love with Violet, played by Jennifer Tilly. The movie was considered groundbreaking for portraying a lesbian relationship on screen.

However, Gershon felt strongly about the character and believed in the film's message, so she went against her agent's advice and took the role. The film became a critical and commercial success and helped establish her as a respected actress.

Despite her success, she has remained private about her personal life, including her sexual orientation. She has not publicly confirmed nor denied rumors about her sexuality.

Gina's Role in 'Bound' Was Not an Indication of Her Sexual Orientation - She Dated Men

Gershon and her role in the movie "Bound" did not indicate her own sexual orientation. She has been open about dating men and has not publicly identified as a lesbian or bisexual.

In 2010, she was in a relationship with former "ER" star Noah Wyle, and they reportedly spent a lot of time in her Los Angeles home. Five years later, she was in an on-and-off relationship with Bobby Dekeyser, a furniture brand founder.

Even though he lived abroad, they worked together and reportedly sold an $8.2 million three-bedroom and three-and-a-half-bathroom unit together. The property at 200 11th Avenue with the Hudson River views was initially listed for $8.5 million and had residents like Nicole Kidman.

Gina Allegedly Had an Affair with a President

In the late 2000s, some rumors insinuated that Gershon had an affair with former President Bill Clinton. The story then reported that the former president visited with the actress, but they denied the allegations.

The actress's lawyers demanded the story be retracted as she had been in the former president's company on three occasions. At each time, at least a dozen other people were present.

Just like Danai Gurira, Gershon keeps her personal life private. Based on her Instagram account, there are no signs that she is currently in any romantic relationship. She uses her platform to share a mix of personal and professional posts.

The actress shares photos and videos from her work as an actress, photos of herself with friends, family, and pets, and snapshots from her travels and daily life, as well as her political and social views, such as advocating for human and animal rights.
