Guinevere Turner Detailed Biography -

Guinevere Turner (May 23, 1968) is an American actress and writer. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts. She is a lesbian. Amongst other recent films, she starred in the 1997 British BDSM/fetish comedy film Preaching to the Perverted as the New York dominatrix "Tanya Cheex". Guinevere Turner and I Shot Andy Warhol director Mary Harron wrote the screenplay which ended up being selected for the film version of Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho. She has a brief cameo in the film, in which she delivers the in-joke line "What makes you even think I'm a lesbian?" This line is a further in joke, referencing Sarah Lawrence College from which she graduated. An early film Guin starred in, for which she also helped produce with her then-girlfriend, Rose Troche, was called Go Fish. In the film, she plays a young woman whose friends help her in the lesbian dating scene. Director Kevin Smith was a fan of the movie, particularly a scene in it wherein, in an imagined sequence, some of a character's friends chastise her for "selling out" and sleeping with a guy, and used it as an inspiration for his rather unique take on a similar theme in his own film Chasing Amy. Turner later appeared in Smith's Dogma, in a small role as a bus clerk. Turner has made several guest appearances on The L Word as a character's screenwriter ex-girlfriend. She was a writer and story editor on the show for the first two seasons. Recently Turner has written the script for the upcoming BloodRayne directed by Uwe Boll, and the script for "The Notorious Bettie Page", with Mary Harron, who directed it. The L Word
