Gina Gershon Recalls Agents Dropping Her, Saying She “Can’t Play A Lesbian” In ‘Bound’
Gina Gershon took a major risk early in her career to work with talented first-time directors, the Wachowskis.
The actress recalled that her agents nearly blocked her from taking on the lead role in the 1996 sapphic noir cult classic Bound as she reunited with co-star Jennifer Tilly to discuss the movie. In Bound, Gershon stars as Corky, who is fresh out of prison when she begins a love affair with Violet (Tilly), the girlfriend of ruthless gangster Caesar ( Joe Pantoliano). Written and directed by sisters Lana and Lilly Wachowski, Bound served as the pair’s directorial debut, three years before they went on to helm the Matrix franchise.
