Gershon has appeared in more than a few bad movies over the years, and done some bad acting in them. On the other hand, when gifted with good material, she proves herself a capable, even awesome, leading lady.Case in point: Prey for Rock & Roll, the overlooked 2003 musical which cast Gershon as Jacki, a longtime rocker girl on the brink of turning 40.
Jacki supports her lifestyle as a tattoo artist when she’s not on stage and, like so many rock stars, has more than a bit of trouble when it comes to romance.
