Actor Gina Gershon & Bill Clinton

Personal life
Gershon was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Mickey (née Koppel), an interior decorator, and Stan Gershon, who worked in import/export business and sales.[1][2] Gershon is Jewish,[1] and has a brother, Dann, and a sister, Tracy. She attended Beverly Hills High School with Lenny Kravitz.[3] After high school, Gershon moved to Boston, where she attended Emerson College.
A 2008 Vanity Fair article linked her romantically with former President Bill Clinton.[4] Speaking on the U.S. television show Live with Regis and Kelly on June 9, she said, "It is such a crazy, outrageous lie.... I met him three times at events. It disturbed me on so many levels. I felt I had to stand up and say the truth."[5]
Gershon has dated hotel owner Sean McPherson, wealthy entrepreneur Jay Penske, actors John Cusack and Owen Wilson, and musician Beck Hansen.[citation needed]

Film star Gina Gershon is demanding a retraction of a US magazine's suggestion that she had an affair with Bill Clinton during his wife's failed presidential campaign.
In a letter released today, Gershon's lawyer asked Vanity Fair magazine to correct its report implying "an inappropriate sexual relationship" between the sexy actor and the former president.
Vanity Fair scribe Todd Purdum, whose wife is Clinton's former press secretary, attributed the alleged dalliance to "recent high-end Hollywood dinner party gossip". Gershon was not asked to confirm the information before the story was published, her lawyer said.
"The truth … is that Ms Gershon has only been in the same room as President Clinton on three occasions, during which she was always in the presence of anywhere from approximately a dozen people to several hundred or more," Gershon's lawyer, Lynda Goldman of the firm Lavely & Singer, wrote to Vanity Fair.
Goldman suggested that the actor would pursue a defamation lawsuit if the magazine did not immediately remove the report from its website.
Gershon's irate response to the magazine comes just after Clinton himself blasted Purdum as "sleazy" and "dishonest", forcing his wife's campaign to apologise for using inappropriate language.
Vanity Fair, meanwhile, has issued a statement defending Purdum and his reporting on the former president's travels on the Hollywood party circuit with billionaire friend Ron Burkle and film producer Steve Bing.
Gershon's lawyer said the actor, famous for her film roles in Bound and Showgirls, attended a dinner party given by Burkle "with 10-15 people in attendance, including President Clinton".
Lavely & Singer has represented a series of celebrities in the aftermath of damaging media allegations. The firm helped Angelina Jolie quash premature reports that she had given birth to twins and demanded that a Florida radio station kill promotions featuring unflattering photos of Britney Spears.
