Clorinda Fiorentino (born March 9, 1958 or 1960, reports differ) is an American actress.
Fiorentino made her screen debut in the 1985 coming-of-age drama film Vision Quest, followed by a lead role in the action film Gotcha! Also an appearance in the film After Hours.
Fiorentino gained fame for her lead roles in the erotic thriller Jade (1995), the science-fiction action comedy film Men in Black (1997) and the fantasy comedy Dogma (1999).
She was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 1994 for her role in the 1994 film The Last Seduction.
Early life and education
Fiorentino, one of seven or eight children in an Italian-American family, was born in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was born in South Philadelphia and then migrated with her family to Washington Township's Turnersville neighborhood in nearby South Jersey.
Fiorentino graduated from Washington Township High School in Sewell, New Jersey, in 1976. She began performing in plays at Rosemont College in suburban Philadelphia, from which she graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science. She trained at the Circle Theater School in Manhattan while working as a bartender at the nightclub Kamikaze, where Bruce Willis also worked.
Personal life
In 1993, Fiorentino divorced film director and writer John Byrum.
During the trial of Los Angeles private investigator Anthony Pellicano, former FBI investigator Mark T. Rossini pleaded guilty to illegally accessing FBI computers. Fiorentino had a history with Pellicano and wanted to assist his defense, according to law enforcement officials. Fiorentino was then dating Rossini and informing him she was researching a screenplay based on the situation, according to prosecutors. He searched databases of government computers for details relating to the Pellicano case and turned the findings to Fiorentino, who then turned the files over to Pellicano's lawyers in a failed attempt to save Pellicano from a 15-year prison term.
Career
Fiorentino made her first professional appearance in 1985 as "Carla" in Vision Quest. "Without knowing the actress, it's impossible for me to decide how much of Carla is original work and how much is Fiorentino's personality," film critic Roger Ebert said of the newcomer. What comes out is, however, is a woman who is enigmatic without being egotistic, separated without being cold, and self-reliant without being suspicious. She has a way of speaking, which makes you listen to everything she says." Fiorentino said she opted to stop acting for a period of time after Warner Bros. executive Mark Canton told her during the filming of Vision Quest, "you have a stellar ass, but your jeans need to be tighter." She said she recovered to acting later to pay off mounting credit card debt.
She appeared in the espionage comedy film Gotcha in 1985. The film was shot in Los Angeles, California, Paris, France, and Berlin, Germany. Anthony Edwards, her co-star, later directed her in Charlie's Ghost Story.
After appearing in various roles in director John Dahl's 1994 neo noir film The Last Seduction, she was given an award for her role in the murderous femme fatale, Bridget. Her work was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Leading Role at the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress and the London Film Critics Circle Award for Actress of the Year, as well as the Best Actress Award of the Year. She portrayed herself as the femme fatale in the 1995 erotic thriller Jade, a critical and box-office failure. She co-starred with Dahl on his 1996 film Unforgettable (1996).
Fiorentino appeared in the direct-to-video Body Count in 1998, playing the female lead in the highly popular Men in Black's 1997 to 1998. She appeared in Dogma in 1999 as an abortion clinic employee tasked with saving the world. Fiorentino did not get along with director Kevin Smith, which caused her to be criticized by the public.
Fiorentino's career came to a halt after a co-starring role in the 2000 documentary Where the Money Is and a lead role as the titular character in the 2002 film Liberty Stands Still. She had been in negotiations to appear in a series directed by Tom Fontana, but ultimately did not accept the offer. Fiorentino had been attached to a Georgia O'Keeffe biographical drama called Till the End of Time, but the project was stalled when Fiorentino was out of love with German producer Karel Dirka.
Fiorentino acquired the rights to a screenplay about Russian poet Anna Akhmatova in 2007, with plans to produce and possibly act in and direct, but the project was cancelled. During this time, she was rumored to be producing two documentaries, neither of which progressed.
She was playing a supporting character in Once More with Feeling, which was released direct to video in 2009.
