Clorinda "Linda" Fiorentino[1] (born March 9, 1958) is an American actress. She became known for her leading role in the 1985 coming-of-age drama film Vision Quest; then, in the same year she earned wide recognition for her role in the action film Gotcha! (1985); later on, she appeared in After Hours (1985), Queens Logic (1991) and Jade (1995).

In 1997, Fiorentino's career took an upturn due to her role in the science-fiction action comedy film Men in Black; afterwards she appeared in the films Dogma (1999), Where the Money Is (2000), and Liberty Stands Still (2002). For her performance in the 1994 film The Last Seduction, she won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress, the London Film Critics' Circle Award for Actress of the Year, and was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Early life

One of eight children in a Catholic Italian-American family, Fiorentino was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on March 9, 1958[2] or March 9, 1960,[3] the third child of Salvatore and Clorinda (Bianculli) Fiorentino.[4][5][6] She grew up in Philadelphia and later the Turnersville section of Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey.[7] In 1976, Fiorentino graduated from Washington Township High School in Sewell, New Jersey.[8] She began performing in plays at Rosemont College in suburban Philadelphia before graduating in 1980.[7] She has studied photography since 1987 at the International Center of Photography in New York City.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

Career

Fiorentino got her first professional role in 1985 when she starred in Vision Quest.

She then starred in the action film Gotcha! which was filmed in the United States, Paris, and on both sides of the Berlin Wall. Her co-star, Anthony Edwards, later directed her in Charlie's Ghost Story.

It was not until 1994 that she became widely recognized, receiving accolades for her performance in a modern film noir, director John Dahl's The Last Seduction, as the murderous femme fatale, Bridget. She later worked again with Dahl on his film Unforgettable (1996).

Fiorentino played the female lead in Men in Black in 1997 alongside Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. She was reunited with her Jade co-star, David Caruso, in Body Count, originally announced as The Split.[9] In 1999 she starred in Kevin Smith's Dogma as an abortion clinic employee tasked with saving the world.

Fiorentino co-starred with Paul Newman in the 2000 heist film Where the Money Is, and she played a woman threatened by a sniper in the 2002 film Liberty Stands Still opposite Wesley Snipes. Between these features, she was in talks to star in producer Tom Fontana's CBS drama pilot Hudson's Law, but ultimately did not take the project.[10] Kyra Sedgwick appeared instead in the eventual 2001 TV-movie pilot.[11]

In April 2001, the German production company Art Oko Film sued Fiorentino, alleging she caused production delays on its Georgia O’Keeffe biographical drama Till the End of Time, leading that film, co-starring Ben Kingsley as Alfred Stieglitz, to cease production.[12] Fiorentino countersued, stating in her filing that she had spent 16 months helping to develop the project and that the producers had promised investors she would "perform the full frontal nudity and prurient sex scenes that they had added to the script without Fiorentino's approval."[13]

In 2007, Fiorentino optioned the rights to a Jim Curtis screenplay about Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, with plans to produce and to possibly star in and direct, but no film came to fruition. During this period, Fiorentino also had been developing two documentaries, one on research into juvenile diabetes and autism and the other, titled Equal Protection, about discrimination against Italian-Americans, as well as a daytime talk show about parenting, titled The Motherhood.[14]

Personal life

Fiorentino was married to film director and writer John Byrum until their divorce in 1993.[15]

Involvement in Anthony Pellicano case

In 2009, former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Mark T. Rossini, a 17-year veteran of the agency, pleaded guilty to illegally accessing FBI computers during the prosecution of Los Angeles private investigator Anthony Pellicano.[16] According to prosecutors, Rossini was dating Fiorentino, who previously had a relationship with Pellicano and wanted to assist his defense.{{sfn|"Ex-FBI Agent Mark Rossini Sentenced for Using Bureau Computers in Pellicano Case"}} As part of this effort, Rossini conducted searches of government computers for information related to the Pellicano case.[17] He gave the search results to Fiorentino, who claimed to be considering writing a screenplay on the Pellicano case. In fact, she hoped to provide Pellicano's lawyers proof that prosecutors had withheld evidence from them.{{sfn|"Ex-FBI Agent Mark Rossini Sentenced for Using Bureau Computers in Pellicano Case"}} The Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting the case against Rossini indicated that Fiorentino did pass Rossini's search results on to Pellicano's lawyers.{{sfn|"Ex-FBI Agent Mark Rossini Sentenced for Using Bureau Computers in Pellicano Case"}} As part of his plea agreement, Rossini received a year's probation, was required to pay a $5,000 fine, and agreed to resign from the FBI.{{sfn|"Ex-FBI Agent Mark Rossini Sentenced for Using Bureau Computers in Pellicano Case"}} Pellicano served 30 months in federal prison for illegal possession of explosives, firearms, and homemade grenades.[18] In 2008, he began serving an additional sentence for other crimes including racketeering and wiretapping; he is scheduled for release in 2019.[19]
