Gina Gershon is demanding a retraction of a US magazine's suggestion that she had an affair with Bill Clinton during his wife's failed presidential campaign.
Gershon's lawyer asked Vanity Fair magazine to correct its report implying "an inappropriate sexual relationship" between the sexy actor and the former president.
Vanity Fair scribe Todd Purdum, whose wife is Clinton's former press secretary, attributed the alleged dalliance to "recent high-end Hollywood dinner party gossip". Gershon was not asked to confirm the information before the story was published, her lawyer said.
"The truth … is that Ms Gershon has only been in the same room as President Clinton on three occasions, during which she was always in the presence of anywhere from approximately a dozen people to several hundred or more," Gershon's lawyer, Lynda Goldman of the firm Lavely & Singer, wrote to Vanity Fair.
Gershon's irate response to the magazine comes just after Clinton himself blasted Purdum as "sleazy" and "dishonest", forcing his wife's campaign to apologise for using inappropriate language.
Vanity Fair, meanwhile, has issued a statement defending Purdum and his reporting on the former president's travels on the Hollywood party circuit with billionaire friend Ron Burkle and film producer Steve Bing.
Gershon's lawyer said the actor, famous for her film roles in Bound and Showgirls, attended a dinner party given by Burkle "with 10-15 people in attendance, including President Clinton".// Today magazine
