i'll be in the classic gina gershon. delaware's new bio when i read the book i thought it was such a great character i almost wish it hadn't been her because he had his an onus of playing down a tele plus it's the one project i would say in my career that actually really scared me when i read it did you know girls would become a cold i was thought it was funny but then i realized i don't think everyone was thinking it was funny so i decided to drag queens eleven at that if that's all ahead on larry king now. welcome to larry king now a special treat to be gina gershon is our guest the multi-talented actor musician and author and now you can find those you know before as donna delivers saatchi in

the or bio pic was called by picked. up house of verse saatchi is alive to i wanted to take this role you know regionally i think when it was first offered to me i was a little bit has a ten for several reasons but mainly because you know she's so larger than life and such an icon and we have such an image of who she is already without really really knowing you know who she is when i read the book i thought it was such a great character i almost wish it hadn't been her because he had his own as a plane down a tele but her story i just i love the idea of. kind of she's under being under your brother's shadow who's a genius and then all suddenly having all this responsibility and tragedy laid upon you kind of going down the drain becoming an addict coming out and then she really found her voice which is amazing that she had a lot of hope and a lot of guts she's incredible i respect her now is it tough to play who won we've seen. who is satirized on saturday night live who is

a public figure so we know her yeah so is it tough to play someone we know yeah absolutely i mean i've played people who are alive and who are real but they're not as unknown and you know when she's satirize i mean everyone like my it is such a funny job with her and and she's just kind of a big character of herself almost but when you really get into this story which is really like the family drama it's it was imperative you have to get to the real person and make a three dimensional person try to figure out what's really going on. you know yeah it's and you are i had to really focus on and i'll be done all the work is still doing stuff i finished doing a.d.r. and looping probably a week ago lifetime i mean we finished it we finished it and i k i went away for a holiday and i came back like all right so doing a.d.r. it's coming out i was like are you insane that's leaving is when you do the voice that you do the voiceover with the words we're going to show

a picture of you side by side with the real you can we put that out look at that it's amazing. how do you like the way you look you're the one on the left by the way audience do you like the way you look i love the way i look there i wish i wish i looked like that throughout the entire film because when you have the lighting in the right place then it really helps with the illusion of looking more like donna did you spend time with her i've never met or did they want you to meet her. you know they didn't say one way or the other and originally i thought i did but i i have played people who are actually living and. you kind of once you meet someone you feel so protective over them and i think subconsciously you start shying away from things that you may not want to reveal about that person so actually it's weird that we've never met we have so many good friends in common and it seems like our paths sort of cross and she lives in new york writes she is in new york and

she's in italy and live with me or i live in new york we've never met and we have really really good friends in common about iraq. did you find it i think i found it you know there's a lot of video in a lot of you know i listen to everything i want to sleep listening to or i listen to it before but you know this is the life time version of the movie and i think sometimes on t.v. you know i guess they like you to be understood because if it were up to me i would have i wish we could had subtitles because i was on a jihad and everything is like animals and everything else but i don't know we have to hear what you're saying so i had articulated do a little of that or is it hard to go but do it. i have to smoke a lot of cigarettes before as i haven't but. down here like larry actually no i mean going into my weird russian thing outright. i don't get that on one side here and i don't do it what do you thing she'll think of your performance or do you

think she'll think. i have no idea i hope she doesn't hate it i mean i don't i was really i really do truly respect her and i was johnny johnny and rico cantone who's fantastic and he really looks like john what we want people to is always in this film how should we look at this family drama i think it's definitely a family drama i think it's you know lifetime they tend to do redemption stories especially they're strong with women. i think she's an incredible woman and i think what she went through and how she came out of it is very impressive and so i you know i think you come out with a real respect for who she is what she went through i think the family unit that southern italian bond that they have it's it's a really unusual story a little out of his clothes do you do that is an issue of i like her such well yeah there's a question about you i told you this before one of us been bugging me for years.

before we close out the first chapter of this interview ok why are you a major star you are extremely dumb but you are drop dead gorgeous and you know people know you why aren't you. julia roberts. i don't but it was a great compliment that was very nice you know maybe it has something to do i mean i don't know you know i've been working actress for a long time and i don't have any complaints i'm very fortunate you know i have never julie someone like julia roberts who has very commercial you know and she's done big movies i think in order to become i've really kind of always done underground you never got more food roles to do big movies. i did a couple on my couple times but there was never really great parts that i wanted to do and the one time i made is like you have to do this it was one of those movies and i really had

a miserable time so i don't know movie was do you really want to say that he was so mean driven when he was like this vast and he's fantastic stallone spent half of the movie just to me felt silly after a while no offense anyone who worked on it but you know i think my choices like i remember when i had to abound which is a movie i really loved and i really wanted to do especially after showgirls which everyone thought it was only one thing and i was like get me a real like acting job you know not that it wasn't but it was a certain sort of movie and i remember my agents saying you cannot take this movie it will ruin your career and i was like why it's a fantastic part these guys who are unknown directors you could tell five minutes sitting with them i'm like i think these guys are geniuses i think they're really really good and so i remember having to leave my agency i said it you'll get commission but i'm taking the movie so i loved it and so i've been told my choices and that you made your own decisions yeah for better or worse maybe that's i don't

know why it's i don't know you're known for very risque roles you someone called you magazine the n.c. seventeen women a label that meant to just get you did killer joe and show girls just sort shouldn't process like what do you what do you what does gina say i will do this what do you have to like it's very it's kind of a weird random gut reaction i sometimes i'll read something and i just see how to do it as i'm reading it and immediately i connect or sometimes if it's a part that i read that really scares me that i might a high can play that why would i want to play that and i really push it away in a very aggressive way i ultimately realize oh i think i have to play it for a b. and c. reasons. you particularly. well i mean i like what i like you know i love doing comedy and i love doing drama i love doing weird parts it's really a combination if it's

a direct if the director's amazing i'll do anything with you like theater i loved it or that's what i was raised and brought up on tell me about killer joe movie i loved i was hard to believe it was a play yeah did you have a chance to do the play too you know it's i never did that it's the one project i would say in my career that actually really scared me when i read it they sent it to me as a play all of that on a tele project i would say scared me but i ended up doing it but killer joe when i read it i thought oh my god this guy's a great writer like great characters blah blah blah and then i got to the end like oh there's no way i'm doing is eight times a week i thought i psychically emotionally i couldn't handle it so. i didn't do it and then when i came back of course was william friedkin and matthew is just like i am doing that he was on and he was with us you were you i really do i thought you should situational you do you come to the door naked from the waist down in the first scene and i ended up my merch announcement sure didn't seem closing shame

when you were engaged it chipped a bomb. there's no way to put this what was that like to play that well that was the scene that scared me about the play that i it's so visceral and so. i remember just saying to to billy friedkin and to matthew i said you know what i don't want to talk about it i don't want to discuss it we're going to do this in one take which how he shoots anyway i said just show me where to go matthew and i never even spoke about it i trusted him as an actor he trusted me we discussed the movements of where we should go and i was like let's go for it i didn't want to think about it i sometimes over intellectualize things i do think about things quite a bit and i just felt for a lot of reasons this was seen better to let happen and not just you know maybe i'm weird are those are great for. it's a fantastic had a lot to say about us about violence about corruption about so many

foreign read and most of it awhile to play he's such an amazing director i'm so pleased that i got to work with and it was such a great cast all around that it was really. it was scary because you know you rehearse it rehearse it out of matthew told you we basically kind of did one take we were lucky to so you kind of have to come with your game on you know and but they're such great characters and you have believed directing a caleb deschanel shooting at tracy letts who wrote it a great cast it was heaven you know great movie thank you you are a gay icon. what makes someone a best is a bit mental. fare what makes someone a gay idol why why do you gauge like you do you think i think do you like me because of show girls and because of bound those two movies i don't know spoke to them and they liked me from there when you have them as

a fan base they are really loyal fans so i think after that they were there you know did you know girls would become a cult hit which he did. i you know when i went into show girls i i was really obsessed with all of his dutch films you know they're hoping as dutch film so i thought oh it's going to be so dark and intense and you know and i got on to the set and i was like oh ok wow this is a different it's like going in the wizard of oz the black and white to the colorful to the technicolor so i thought i was that it was funny but then i realized i don't think everyone was thinking it was funny so i decided to drag queens will love me after the show give it turned your grabber. yeah probably a lot i've done a couple stupid things i realize as you start to get older it's the one thing i'm starting to notice that you actually have regrets which i don't really believe in regrets i try not to because i think you have to go with those flows

a juggler i've been termed a hustler gregory peck turned high new but maybe they would have been as good in it you know maybe not you know maybe it would have worked out but only one year turned . boy did i turn down you know one thing that i did that was really stupid. i remember thinking of the other day as now when i had a t.v. show that david kelly was writing and i was starring in and basically we had a very nice agreement on working i wasn't into doing t.v. at the time and i were at some point to solicit skill and i can't deal with this right now and that was a down move. to kill. bill is a genius david kelly is a genius new and but he was doing three other shows of the time he's like are you sure i said what if i was in a very strange headspace at the time and i said one of you know a.b. and c. i just want off the show he goes all you have to say is like i'm done and i was like really and of course there was as there is no way am i but i really love david

kelley he's a man of his word and at that moment i just was like i after one season i'm like this isn't that was stupid i thought we all do yeah i will get personal she don't get to see the versace and we're going to talk about our love of cats. don't go away. why do you make a face like. soldiers you're in the military no more joking more. never been some time in my life. every day i would still. think it's going to be. everyone's just.
