All The Very Best Of: Gina Gershon’s Long Career Of Fantastic Nudity From Movies and TV

One of the sexiest brunettes to ever grace the silver screen, Gina Gershon had a pout and a smoldering intensity for the ages, and when used correctly, could be the most electric thing on screen. Not coincidentally, most of the films where she's utilized to her full potential—Showgirls, Bound, Killer Joe—are also the ones in which she does nudity.

Gina was born in Los Angeles, and seems like a Californian to the core: Jaded and sexy. It's a potent combination and has served Gina well throughout her career. The first time I saw Showgirls, I knew that she was one of the only people in the film that got what was going on. As the Bette Davis surrogate in the All About Eve inspired elements of the plot, Gershon was fantastic and put on a clinic in virtually every scene she was in, playing it for the back row but also making it painfully real.

The best moment in Gina's filmography, however, came in 1996's Bound when she and fellow busty brunette Jennifer Tilly were gifted the roles of their respective careers and got down in one of the best lesbian sex scenes in cinema history. And it's still one of the hottest, twenty-plus years later! That's the power of Gina Gershon, she is the gift that keeps on giving.
