Gina was born on June 10, 1962 at Cedar-Sinai
Medical Center in Los Angeles, California....the
youngest of 5 children. She was three weeks early...and
says that is why she is so impatient today! Her
ethnic background is French, Russian, and Dutch,
and says "I could be the Meryl Streep of
the Mediterranean world!" She was a Valley
girl, and a surfer chick! She grew up in Woodland
Hills in the San Fernando Valley. Trying to shake
that image, she moved to New York and studied
at New York University, and got a degree of Bachelor
of Arts.
She has studied
with such prestigious teachers as Sandra Seacat,
Harold Guskin, David Memet and at Circle in the
Square. Her theatre credits include Camille, John
Robin Baitz's The Substance of Fire, and William
Mastrosimone's Nanawatai.
She is a founding
member of the New York based theatre group Naked
Angels.
Her big screen
debut was in Pretty in Pink in 1986, and soon
had roles in Red Heat (1988), Cocktail (1988),
Out for Justice (1991), and Sinatra (1992)which
she won rave reviews for the portrayal of Nancy
Sinatra. Some of her most recent roles were in
The Player (1992), Showgirls (1995), Bound (1996),
