Linda Fiorentino -- her life.
The LINDA FIORENTINO File
BORN: Clorinda Fiorentino, Philadelphia, Pa. Two brothers, five sisters.
"I'm convinced my mother only had sex eight times."
RAISED: Grew up in Turnersville, N.J. At 5'7" she excelled in baseball,
basketball and cheerleading. "I was trouble."
MARRIAGE: Married once. Now divorced. "Marriage is a financial contract;
I have enough contracts already."
EDUCATED: Rosemont College, Political science, pre-law. "I was actually
three months away from going to law school. I think I would have been a
trial lawyer."
ATTENDED: Circle In The Square Acting School, New York.
UPCOMING FILMS: Unforgettable - directed by Last Seduction's John Dahl.
"I play a scientist who's discovered a memory drug. Ray Liotta plays
a medical examiner trying to solve the mystery of who killed his wife and
he injects himself with the memories of key witnesses. It was great working
with John Dahl, and actually having a budget. We were talking, `Imagine
Last Seduction with a $20 million budget!'" Zenith Suites - Spanish
Civil War romance directed by ex-husband Byrum. "We're really professional
and we're friends. The fact that he knows me makes the job easier, not harder."
ADDRESS: I know how to get this. But, in fear of informing psycho stalkers
on the Internet, let's just say she lives in Beverly Hills and leave it
at that. Thanks for understanding.
Her first movie was Vision Quest, which
she beat out fellow actresses Rebecca
Demornay, Rosanna Arquette and Demi Moore to name a few. But,
check out her first "big" role of Sasha in the movie Gotcha!
Fiorentino is a wonderful actress who received
national acclaim for her role in "The Last Seduction". Critics
compared her work, equal, if not above the work of Sharon Stones and her
performance in "Basic Instinct". However, the "Seduction"
role was low profile because it was released as a TV movie on HBO and never
hit the theaters.
She didn't receive full exposure until the release of the movie
"Jade" where she played the role of the seductive Katrina Gavin.
Though critics argue her best work was still in the "Last Seduction",
one can't denote her performance, but rather her fellow actors. As Katrina
Gavin, a.k.a. Jade, she plays a beautiful woman who is willing to try anything
of a sexual nature. As Angie Everhart states brilliantly, "I don't
take it like that. But this Jade couldn't get enough of it".
As much as guys love to see Fiorentino naked, the movie wasn't
successful due to the acting of first-time stars Angie Everhart (whom should
stay a full-time model) and David Caruso (who should go back to NYPD Blue).
Alien lovers can now see Fiorentino in the current summer hit,
"Men in Black", though her character is no where near the same
as it was in "Jade" or "The Last Seduction".
Fans need to see these and other movies while they can. Fiorentino
has expressed plans to begin a career as a director and could very well
put her acting career on hiatus. Last month she reportedly will begin work
on directing her first play in New York.
