Guinevere Turner is a lesbian actress and writer. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA on May 23, 1968.
Amoungst 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.
An early film Gwen starred in, for which she also helped produce with her then-girlfriend, Rose Troche, was called Go Fish. In it 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 similiar theme in his own film Chasing Amy.
Gwen appeared in Kevin's Dogma, in a small role as a bus clerk.
