Gina Gershon

Gina Gershon is, to my mind, one of the great underappreciated character actresses of her generation. Hollywood never quite knew what to do with her — too smart, too dangerous, too knowing for the standard leading-lady mold — so she carved out her own territory in films like Bound and Killer Joe, turning what could have been camp into something genuinely electric. I respect that she never apologized for Showgirls and instead outlived its mockery to see it reappraised. Add her work as a singer, screenwriter, and stage actress, and you get a performer who simply refused to be one thing. That stubbornness is her superpower.
