Episode 189: Gina Gershon

Actress Gina Gershon hadn’t had what you’d call a traditional Hollywood career. So, it’s no surprise that she’s written a memoir with an in-your-face title. Alpha Pussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs. Gershon says the alpha pussy part has something to do with the fact that she raises male cats. As a result of her roles in films like Bound and Showgirls, which has gained a reputation as a camp classic, Gershon has become something of a gay icon. Around 2016, the actress began impersonating Melania in sketches that appeared on Funny or Die. Now, Gershon is writing screenplays. We talk about breasts, ageism and stupid Hollywood executives on the new episode of “Now What?”
