Born and raised the youngest of five children in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, Gershon gets her exotic looks from her French, Russian and Dutch heritage. After high school Gershon decided she wanted a more sophisticated image than those usually attributed to Valley Girls like herself and so moved to the Big Apple to earn a bachelor of arts degree at New York University.
