Growing up in the Valley, Gina Gershon learned how to steer through toxicity

She admitted she hadn’t quite perfected her performance yet, and kept asking me what I thought – if I was enjoying it. It was amazing to me, considering how long Gershon has been performing – in small indie films, huge Hollywood movies, and even as a singer-guitarist on stage – that she still genuinely cared about my opinion, even if she wasn’t going to change anything based on it. I think that’s probably why she’s had such a long and successful career – she still connects with the audience, and values what they think.
