| 5 | Clorinda "Linda" Fiorentino (born March 9, 1960[[note]]1958 according to some sources[[/note]] in Philadelphia) is an American actress of Italian descent. She began performing in stage plays at Rosemont College before graduating in 1980, and making big-screen debut in the 1985 drama ''Film/VisionQuest'' and receiving further recognition for ''[[Film/Gotcha1985 Gotcha!]]'', ''Film/AfterHours'', ''Film/TheModerns'', ''Film/QueensLogic'' and ''Film/{{Jade}}''. |

| 7 | During a good part of TheNineties, Fiorentino's career was at its peak thanks to her appeareances in ''Film/TheLastSeduction'', ''Film/MenInBlack'' and ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', with the latter two being among her most recognizable roles. For her performance in ''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 UsefulNotes/{{BAFTA}} for Best Actress in a Leading Role. |

| 9 | Once considered a very noteworthy actress, Fiorentino's career [[StarDerailingRole began to falter]] at the beginning of the 2000s. The films on which she starred at that year, ''Film/WhatPlanetAreYouFrom'' and ''Film/WhereTheMoneyIs'', were critically and financially panned, and her next movie, ''Film/LibertyStandsStill'' even went straight to video as a result. This, coupled with the fact that ''Dogma'' director Creator/KevinSmith revealed the actress was quite ThePrimaDonna on set (though he later apologized), caused Fiorentino to largely vanish from the film industry, and she made one last appearance in the 2009 movie ''Film/OnceMoreWithFeeling'' before disappearing from the big screen altogether. |
