Birth Facts
Linda Fiorentino was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on March 9, 1958. Her nationality is American, and her zodiac sign is Pisces. Linda is also known by the name Clorinda Fiorentino. She has reached the age of 62. Salvatore is her father’s name, and Clorinda Fiorentino is her mother’s.
Catherine Fiorentino, Rose Fiorentino, and Terry Fiorentino Christie were among her seven siblings that grew up in an Italian home. Fiorentino was more of a tomboy as a child, constantly thinking her sisters were prettier than her. She grew up with a passion for basketball and used to practice with her brothers on a regular basis.
Education
Linda was born and raised in Philadelphia before relocating to Gloucester County, New Jersey. She went to Washington Township High School there. She then went to Rosemont College and majored in political science with the goal of becoming a lawyer. She received her diploma in 1980. Fiorentino, on the other hand, became interested in theatre during her junior year, and by graduation, she had decided to pursue a career as an actress. She went on to study photography at the International Center of Photography.
Career and Workplace Life
Linda’s first professional acting job was in the 1985 drama film “Vision Quest,” in which she co-starred with Matthew Modine and Ronny Cox. She subsequently went on to star in the action film “Gotcha,” in which she played a mystery spy. The film was a financial failure. She also had a guest appearance on the TV show “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” at this time.
In 1988, she starred in the films “The Moderns” and “Wildfire.” A year later, she starred as Lucy in the TV film “The Neon Empire,” about a gangster named Junior Morloff who decides to create a casino in the little town of Las Vegas after learning that gambling is allowed there. In the early 1990s, Linda appeared in the comedic film ‘Queens Logic,’ the romantic picture ‘Shout,’ and the drama film ‘Chain of Desire.’ In 1995, she appeared in the suspense films “Bodily Harm” and “Jade.”
Fiorentino also starred in Anthony Edwards’ directorial debut, “Charlie’s Ghost Story,” in which he co-starred with Cheech Marin and Trenton Knight in an adventure comedy. She then starred alongside Ray Liotta in John Dahl’s film “Unforgettable.” The film follows a man who is concerned with discovering who killed his wife. She starred as Megan in the comedy film “Kicked in the Head” in 1997. Matthew Harrison directed the film, which also starred Kevin Corrigan, Michael Rapaport, and Lili Taylor.
1998-2008
The gifted actress starred opposite David Caruso, John Leguizamo, Donnie Wahlberg, Forest Whitaker, and Ving Rhames in the 1998 film ‘Body Count.’ Despite the presence of a well-known cast, the film was released in a direct-to-video format due to low crowd response during test screenings. She appeared in the fourth film of Kevin Smith’s ‘View Askewniverse’ series, ‘Dogma.’ The film’s satirical portrayal of the Catholic Church and Catholicism sparked a lot of debate before it came out. In addition, concerted protests in numerous countries delayed its release, and Smith received a few death threats.
Fiorentino worked on several projects in 2000, including ‘Ordinary Decent Criminal,’ ‘What Planet Are You From?,’ and ‘Where the Money Is.’ While Thaddeus O’Sullivan’s film “Ordinary Decent Criminal” is partially based on the tale of Martin Cahill, a legendary Irish crime boss, the other two films are sci-fi comedy and drama crime flicks, respectively. She starred alongside Wesley Snipes in the 2002 film “Liberty Stands Still” as a woman endangered by a sniper.
Linda then created two documentaries, one about studies in juvenile diabetes and autism and the other, titled “Equal Protection,” about prejudice against Italian-Americans. In 2009, she starred in the independent comedy-drama film “Once More with Feeling,” directed by Jeff Lipsky and written by Gina O’Brien. The film, which also stars Chazz Palminteri and Drea de Matteo, is about a man who uses karaoke to chase his childhood ambition of becoming a singer.
She has been making documentaries about studies in juvenile diabetes and autism, as well as “Equal Protection,” a daytime show about parenting approaches, and “Motherhood,” a daytime show about parenting tactics, since December 2007. She also made a donation in 2008.

She earned 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 for her portrayal in The Last Seduction (1994). Her work in ‘Men in Black’ was equally well-received, and she received two nominations for best supporting actress.
Linda’s net worth is estimated to be at $2 million.

Rossini was said to be dating Fiorentino, who had previously dated Pellicano, according to some accounts.
