Gina Gershon: AlphaPussy Memoir Reveals Bold Life
23 Feb
Summary
- Gershon's memoir, AlphaPussy, details her life from childhood to stardom.
- She discusses her assertive 'AlphaPussy' technique for dominance.
- Gershon defends working with Woody Allen despite allegations.
Actress Gina Gershon is set to release her memoir, "AlphaPussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs," on March 3. The book promises a candid exploration of her four-decade career, from her upbringing in the San Fernando Valley to Hollywood stardom.
Gershon details her unique "AlphaPussy" technique, a method of asserting dominance she developed by observing her cats, which she applied to interactions, particularly with overbearing men. This assertive approach is a recurring theme throughout her life and career.
The memoir recounts pivotal moments, including her role in "Cocktail" alongside Tom Cruise and her memorable performance as Cristal Connors in "Showgirls." Gershon also addresses industry ageism and her personal choices regarding professional collaborations.
Despite resurfaced allegations against Woody Allen, Gershon reiterates her support for the filmmaker, stating she believes him to be innocent and that she would still work with him today, having conducted her own research into the claims.
Her memoir also touches upon personal anecdotes such as dancing with Jodie Foster, her connection to "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" inspiration, and her role in the cult classic "Bound," which nearly cost her representation.
