I'm sorry about how scant this bio is, but I don't want to put anything remotely gossip-y on this page. I'm a fan of her movies, not her personal life. Thank-you. If you have any info on Sorvino, please email it to me.Please do not email me correcting the birthdate. I'm just going to leave that one up because no matter which one I have, there will always be someone complaining. Thanks.
