As Trina Gavin AKA, Jade? I'm sorry but she was UNCONVICIING as the mysterious, illustrious, and wicked Sex-addict, who was supposed to be this HOT thing that no man could resist. I'm sorry, Linda Fiorentino is pretty but gorgeous, mysterious and HOT? NO!
What, just for once in your life can't you be serious?
And her acting ability is on par with Keanu Reeves'
shareShe did a real Bacall.
shareShe is gorgeous, mysterious and HOT. Just not in this movie.
Currently feeling:
(out of 5_s)
lol. She should have done one of her sex scenes nude like Sharon Stone did in Basic Instinct rather than wearing that black dress you see her wear when she's "Jade".
Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours

Fiorentino’s big-screen follow-up to The Last Seduction was the erotic thriller, Jade.share
David Caruso played the Assistant District Attorney investigating the murder of a politician. The governor had been involved with prostitutes one of whom may have been a woman played by Fiorentino. Fiorentino was married to a lawyer played by Chaz Palminteri. All the characters find themselves caught in a web of black mail, murder and secret sex tapes. In other words, it was written by Joe Eszterhas.
Jade was directed by the legendary William Friedkin. Friedkin massively rewrote Eszterhas’ script to the point where the writer asked to have his name removed from the credits. Friedkin, who has directed The French Connection and The Exorcist, considers Jade to be the best movie he ever made. It just goes to show you that those who make art are rarely in a position to be objective about the merits of their own work.
There was a lot of buzz about Fiorentino starring in another sexy thriller. But that was nothing compared to all the noise that was being made over Caruso. Caruso had shot to stardom in 1993 with the successful TV show, NYPD Blue. He made national headlines when he left the show during its second season. Immediately, every one turned against him. It seemed like the press, critics and audiences all wanted to see Caruso’s movie career fail. And fail it did. Caruso was sent into exile for years until he finally resurfaced on CSI: Miami.
Jade was panned by critics and bombed at the box office. It was nominated for two Golden Raspberry awards. Eszterhas was nominated for Worst Screenplay which had to hurt seeing as how his script was almost completely rewritten by Friedkin. But then again, Jade lost Worst Screenplay to Showgirls which was actually written by Eszterhas. Proving my point about how much animosity there was towards Caruso.
Whatever happened to her?
Before the Internet the paper written rumors was that she was a difficult actress to work with from both the director and fellow costars.
I think the last film I saw her in was "Dogma" but her performance was underwhelming at best
