A lesbian sex scene cut from the original production of the 1998 TV movie Gia has begun to circulate on the web. The telefilm helped catapult Angelina Jolie to international fame. The actress was awarded both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her hard-hitting portrayal of top fashion model Gia Carangi, who became an IV drug user and died of AIDS in 1986. Gia's lover Linda, a make-up artist, was played by actress Elizabeth Mitchell, who now stars in the hit TV series Lost.

The video shows a rough cut of a tender moment between the lovers. It does not have the same quality as the rest of the film because the scene never made it into the final cut. The British tabloid The Sun reports that the film's producers will be releasing a new version of the film with this and other scenes restored. In the meantime, watch the lesbian sex scene after the jump.
