Gina Gershon actor

“Here's a movie that is not as well known. I read about her, I fell in love with her story. This is years ago and I thought oh I can play her, I want to play her. What an interesting woman. Lola Montès, this to me is a cautionary tale of what not to have happen. I don't want to end up in a cage. I don't want to give it away but I'm not going to lie I got really depressed after watching it but I love it.”
