Linda Fiorentino (born March 9, 1960 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an Italian-American actress noted for her dark beauty and husky voice. She is known for her roles in films such as Dogma, Vision Quest, Men in Black, and The Last Seduction, perhaps her signature role, where she plays femme fatale Bridget, almost the textbook example of a murderous seductress in a modern film noir.

Fiorentino graduated from Washington Township High School, in Sewell, New Jersey and is a graduate of Rosemont College, Rosemont, Pennsylvania. She was formerly married to director John Byrum.

She has the reputation of being hard to work with, even among those who acknowlege her talent. Director Kevin Smith confirmed this view in his Dogma DVD commentary. Smith also said that Linda wouldn't even speak to him some days and, in retrospect, he wished he had given the part of Bethany to Janeane Garofalo instead.
