Biography
The American press wrote about Hollywood actress Lara Flynn Boyle as a star of experimental and independent cinema and a “charming career woman,” and recently awarded her with labels like “ex-dream girl.” But fans of the TV series “Twin Peaks” well remember Donna, Laura Palmer’s friend with an aristocratic appearance, and hope that their favorite will still give up trying to escape from time.
Childhood and youth
Lara, the only child in the family, was born in March 1970 in Davenport, Iowa. Her father is Irish by nationality, and Sally’s mother has Italian, Irish and German blood mixed. Boyle's daughter was named after the heroine of Boris Pasternak's novel Doctor Zhivago.
Actress Lara Flynn Boyle
At the age of six, after her parents' scandalous divorce, the girl and her mother moved to Chicago. Sally gave birth to her daughter early, by American standards, and spent her entire life striving to provide her with a decent future. In the future, her mother will become Lara's closest ally and assistant. They will live together for a long time, and even when the actress’s fees finally allow her to acquire her own home, their houses will be separated by only ten minutes of walking.
Lara knew from childhood that she would be creative: she dreamed of singing or dancing, but she had ambitious plans for the future and the post of mayor of Chicago. However, the future actress was soon diagnosed with dyslexia - the inability to perceive information from written text. Then, in order to learn to express her thoughts and feelings, to develop the skills available with such a disease, Boyle took acting classes.
Lara Flynn Boyle in her youth
At school, Lara was shy and inconspicuous, she tried to hide her congenital defect, but she realized early on that success in life was in her own hands. After graduating from school, the daughter, accompanied by her mother, went to Los Angeles in search of ways to develop a career in cinema.
But there are thousands of such seekers of a better life in the capital of the world film industry, and no one was waiting for Lara there. Mother and daughter had to live in rented apartments and work as waitresses. Eventually, Boyle entered the Chicago Academy of the Arts, whose famous alumni include producer and director Adam Rifkin, actors Robin Tunney, Nan Woods, and Cecily Strong.

Tenacious Lara plunged headlong into her studies. Despite the diagnosis, by the end of the course she became the best student and surprised the teachers with her choice of thesis. It was the play “Waiting for Godot” by the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, called in literary circles “the most influential English-language dramatic work of the 20th century.” Fellow students took a more traditional route, presenting excerpts from Shakespeare and Russian classics. Enthusiastic teachers predicted a bright future for the student.
Plastic surgery of Lara Boyle
She has long been immune to annoying paparazzi, no need to pull her glasses down over her eyes and wrap herself in a hood. Photos of Lara Flynn Boyle do not adorn the glossy pages of men's magazines only because of her own stupidity. At 46 years old, Lara Flynn Boyle has so disfigured her own face with plastic surgery that it is impossible to call it anything other than “face”.
- Blepharoplasty. There is an opinion that drooping eyelids are a sign of impending old age. In her youth, Lara Boyle decided that growing old was for the weak and threw her entire arsenal of surgical methods into the fight against age. Note that Lara Boyle began this path at the early age of thirty-two. The surgeons were found to be extremely cross-handed. They tore off the unfortunate eyelid that was pressing on the eye, but they took too much. The operation was done, so to speak, in advance for the future. The shape of the eye is so distorted that the once beautiful eyes of the star cannot be recognized in the resulting pig slits. After surgery, Lara Flynn Boyle has pear-shaped eyeballs that seem to have grown into her skull. The remnants of the eyelids stretch like a sail with every blink. Even makeup cannot hide such an unfortunate mistake by surgeons.
- Eyebrow correction. Before the operation, Lara Flynn Boyle was the happy owner of thick, beautiful eyebrows. Why she needed to tighten and tighten the strips of facial hair is a mystery. Now her face froze in the eternal “surprise”. This emotion is carefully sculpted by the hands of plastic surgeons. Probably, this operation is not so striking to the audience compared to all the other disfiguring transformations of her appearance. The former men's magazine model now tops the list of Hollywood's ugliest actresses.
- Rhinoplasty. Perhaps the only successful operation out of the dozen the actress underwent. Lara Flynn Boyle, after surgery to correct the shape of her nose, demonstrated to the public its precision and aristocracy. “After all, her nose was lovely even before the plastic surgery,” you will be surprised. Yes, exactly, initially her nose did not bring any disharmony to her face. However, the surgeons did not disfigure her real nose, and thank God. The actress was glad that the hump that was previously present on her nose had disappeared. Fans wondered why such a beautiful young woman had to go under the knife.
- Changing the shape of the lips. Lara Flynn Boyle before and after lip reshaping surgery are two different people. What had to be done with the woman’s lips on the operating table to achieve such a sickening result? For everyone this remains a secret behind seven seals. One thing is clear, the photos of Lara Flynn Boyle after lip surgery are amazing.
The protruding upper lip seems to fly up to the nose, exposing the woman’s mousy teeth. The average person would think with sympathy that a woman has a “cleft lip.” The lower one is of an awkward shape and size, and cannot jump to the upper “girlfriend”. After all, the surgeons did their best. They pumped Lara's lips so much with silicone that it is now fantastically difficult for her to completely cover her mouth. The ugly mouth resembles the mouth of an overfed fat cat.
- Circular facelift. In the fight against the hated years, women are capable of anything. Lara Flynn Boyle went for a circular facelift with ease. It would seem that for several years a woman should have forgotten about wrinkles and folds. But it was not there.
Photos of Lara Flynn Boyle are terrifying. It is not clear whether the lift was successful. Perhaps the actress’s chin makes it difficult to appreciate the beauty of the effect. It's up to you to decide which of the three chins bothers you more. The skin after so much abuse resembles the skin of a not very fresh dead man. She was swollen and swollen.
- Botox injections. Lara Boyle hoped to add youth to herself and smooth out wrinkles with the help of beauty injections, very common in Hollywood. After all, her unsuccessful personal life, alcohol, and the problems that her children caused her were instantly reflected on her face. A myriad of injections has resulted in the woman's face clearly resembling a trampoline. Children would happily jump on it, because the swollen, red plump, which previously served as a woman’s pretty face, beckons to its attraction. The redness of the skin has acquired a frightening character, and the absence of wrinkles does not beautify the woman’s tormented face.
- Anorexia. Lara Flynn Boyle is now in excellent physical shape, unless of course we are talking about her face. But just recently a woman came close to death after refusing to eat. Lara Boyle was not a chubby girl or a bun in her youth. But Hollywood does not tolerate extra pounds on the stomach or butt. So Lara Flynn Boyle became interested in various diets. She was so thin that she resembled a walking skeleton covered in skin.
With a height of 165 cm, she weighed 45 kilograms. This soup set has become an excellent role model for thousands of American and European girls. They starved themselves, tortured themselves with diets, just to get one step closer to the parameters of their favorite star. Result: Lara Flynn Boyle was admitted to the hospital and was fed through IV drips.
Lara Flynn Boyle paid a tidy sum for all operations to change her appearance. Her costs for “unearthly beauty” are estimated at $28,000. The forgotten actress continues to experiment with her appearance, although doctors strictly prohibited further operations.
The process of deformation of her face can no longer be stopped; despite all the beauty, the hair of the former star is mercilessly climbing, hanging in rags on her shoulders. Now we know that for $28,000 you can get from Hollywood doctors the excellent appearance of a drunken homeless woman.
Movies
On television, 17-year-old student Boyle made her debut in a cameo role in the mini-series “America.” People started talking about the young actress after Lara appeared as Donna Garden in the third part of the horror film Poltergeist 3, which was included in the top 10 damned Hollywood films due to the tragic events that took place during and after filming.

Afterwards, Lara starred in films whose names can hardly be called caressing to the ear - the detective story “Murder of a Graduate” and the drama “Dead Poets Society.” The consolation is that the aspiring actress got the chance to work next to experienced masters Robin Williams and Danny Aiello. In “The Graduate,” the then little-known Sandra Bullock appeared in one of the first roles of her creative biography.
The main film in Lara Flynn Boyle's filmography is considered one of the best TV series of all time, according to Time magazine, Twin Peaks. According to rumors, the actress even managed to intervene in the development of the film's storyline. Lara allegedly insisted that the main character, played by Kyle MacLachlan, not enter into a close relationship with a high school student, played by Sherilyn Fenn. The ubiquitous journalists found the reason for this turn of events: on the set of a detective story, a romance broke out between Lara and Kyle, which, however, ended in nothing.

The cult series brought Boyle to the top of her popularity. The actress wisely took advantage of her star status - she did not agree to every new offer, but through a careful selection of films she won the status of “princess of independent cinema.” But critics believe that these films are unremarkable; Lara, by and large, did not achieve great fame, and moreover, she suffered from star fever. Otherwise, how can one explain the refusal to star in the full-length prequel to the series Twin Peaks: Walk Through the Fire?
Boyle herself explained the refusal by saying that she was disappointed with the second season, in which new writers and directors were invited, and the unexpected ending led to a drop in ratings. To be fair, it should be noted that Lara was not the only one from the main cast who refused to participate, and the prequel failed at the box office.

Among Boyle’s more or less notable films of the “post-Twinpeaks” period are the crime thriller “Equinox,” the comedy “Baby Walking, or Crawling from Gangsters,” and the science fiction film “Men in Black 2.”
A bouquet of awards was collected by the black comedy “Happiness” about the destruction of the American ideal of family, where Lara got the role of a nymphomaniac porn writer. The film was awarded the FIPRESCI Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the British Independent Film Awards and the US National Board of Film Critics, and was nominated for the Golden Globe and Independent Spirit.

The former glory briefly returned to the actress, dressed in a strict business suit in the legal drama “The Practice” about the work and life of employees of a law office. Lara Flynn Boyle played the role of assistant district attorney.
Agent Cooper
Actor: Kyle MacLachlan
Kyle MacLachlan claims to be a descendant of Bach. As a child, this fact forced him to learn to play the organ, but his mother persuaded him to choose an acting profession. Kyle’s “godfather” in cinema was David Lynch, who noticed him as a participant in the Oregon Shakespeare Film Festival. McLachlan played in Dune and Blue Velvet, but the absolute peak of his career was the Twin Peaks series. Film critic Roger Ebert wrote about him: "MacLachlan is so handsome and expressive that it is impossible to imagine him on the street of modern Chicago." In 1992, during the filming of the prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, a serious quarrel occurred between McLachlan and Lynch. In the two-hour feature-length film, the legendary Agent Cooper appears only four times.
Either it was an accident or a pattern, but after that McLachlan’s career went downhill. Critics ignored his work in the film based on Kafka's novel The Trial, which he worked so hard on. And for his performance in Paul Verhoeven’s “Showgirls,” the actor was even nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award. He also had a not-so-great role in the TV series Sex and the City, where he played Charlotte’s “ideal husband.” Then the actor’s filmography was replenished with several more TV series, including “How I Met Your Mother,” “Desperate Housewives,” “The Good Wife” and “Portlandia.” In addition, McLachlan voiced one of the heroes of the game Grand Theft Auto III. And finally, two weeks ago, photos of Lynch and MacLachlan having breakfast together leaked onto the Internet, after which Kyle tweeted: “I’ll go turn on the coffee maker and look for my black suit.”
Personal life
Lara made her first attempt at building family relationships while still studying at the academy. David Spade and I were brought together by common interests - jazz, Ingmar Bergman films and playing Scrabble. The young people rented an apartment, and relatives began to wait for the engagement announcement. But at that moment the actress received an offer from David Lynch, and Lara made a choice not in favor of a quiet family life.
Lara Flynn Boyle and Jack Nicholson
Later, the names of Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, and Clint Eastwood will appear on Lara’s list of heartfelt victories. Before everyone's eyes, the relationship with Jack Nicholson developed rapidly. Boyle was very upset about the end of her affair with the star, drowned her grief in a glass, so she had to turn to Alcoholics Anonymous. Officially, the actress went to the altar twice: her marriage to John Patrick Dee III lasted two years. Lara is now married to investor Donald Ray Thomas.

The actress does not have official accounts on Instagram or Facebook. And photos of Lara on the Internet, unfortunately, appear more often with ambiguous comments about her greatly changed appearance.
Boyle did not have children either. The celebrity spoke out twice about this. At first she said that she considers her own mother to be a model of motherhood, but she does not see as much responsibility in herself and is afraid that her children will suffer from lack of attention. In another interview, Lara openly stated that she is a self-sufficient person, and such selfishness does not allow her to share love even with her children.
Lara Flynn Boyle now
In the spring of 2018, the Hollywood actress joined the list of celebrities buried during their lifetime. The first reports of the death of Lara Flynn Boyle appeared on Facebook, but an official representative hastened to assure fans that everything is fine with the actress.

However, the Internet community is not going to leave Lara alone. There is unconfirmed information circulating on the Internet that Boyle may again appear on screen as a “Bond girl” in the next series of the franchise.
Anonymous sources refer to the words of the actress, who is allegedly preparing to announce the end of her film career. Fans tend to view news, even if fake, as evidence of its enduring popularity.
Donna from Twin Peaks is no longer invited to films
And then her film career slowly but surely began to decline, and over time it completely faded into history. Why? At that time, the actress was only about 30 years old - everything in her life was just beginning! But no! Lara Flynn Boyle destroyed her career with her own hands, being carried away by plastic surgery.

Now the actress is 48 years old, but she has not been invited to the set for a long time. You can understand the directors! Well, who in the frame needs such a woman, spoiled by beauty injections and a plastic surgeon’s knife?
