Hollywood has always been home to young actors trying to break into show business.
Aside from her earlier work, most people may know her as Donna Hayward from “Twin Peaks.”
So much so that it inevitably created a distance between her and Hollywood.
As time went on, Boyle’s acting gigs grew fewer and farther between.
Which begged the question: Whatever happened to Lara Flynn Boyle?
From its premiere in 1997, Boyle’s fame was further solidified as the show grew in popularity.
The series went on to win Golden Globes, Primetime Emmys, and many other awards.
Boyle’s performance on the long-running show also earned her a slew of award nominations.
We didn’t make any decision," she stated.
“We had a decision that was translated to us.
I always think honesty and being upfront with people is the best way to be correct.
In this situation, that did not happen.”
Despite Boyle’s success, this appeared to be one public instance when she faced unfair treatment in Hollywood.
Her character Serleena Xath an alien masquerading as a Victoria’s Secret model was the film’s main antagonist.
“I play a lot of strong women and a lot of smart women now,” she expressed.
“A lot of times that translates into being the villain.
But there’s a strength there when you’re portraying someone bright that’s very empowering.”
In a 2002 interview withDark Horizons, Boyle made sure to give them their flowers.
In addition to complimenting Jones on his masculine persona, she praised Smith for his infectious personality on set.
One of which happened to be her lengthy dating history, for which she was judged negatively.
Boyle addressed the harsh criticism of her dating multiple partners, ruling it an unfair double standard women face.
“Women are judged differently,” she iterated.
“That’s how I found out,” he stated.
“She and I didn’t talk too much after that.”
In 2006, Boyle married real estate investor Donald Ray Thomas.
So much so that she “could barely breathe,” as was Thomas.
This surely must have been a breath of fresh air for the actress.
She could enjoy spending time with her significant other without worrying about public attention.
According toDeadline, Boyle was set to star in her own reality show.
This didn’t stop the show from getting confirmed and set to premiere on the E!
Her acting gigs, however, slowly became short-lived and nonexistent.
“I try not to think about it every day.
The roles are just not very plentiful once you hit a certain age,” she responded.
“You know, that’s just an obvious thing.
So, you got to beg for something.”
In many cases, the industry actors grew passionate about may send them into a spiral of despair.
It happens all the time."
“It still stays with you,” she said.
Aside from several online theories, Boyle seemingly couldn’t return due to scheduling.
In a 2014 interview withA.V.
Because MacLachlan and Boyle were dating, Boyle convinced director David Lynch to scrap the idea.
“[H]is girlfriend, Lara Flynn Boyle, kiboshes an astonishing thing.
I remember saying, ‘David … is this how it goes?
An actor complains because she’s the girlfriend, and then you change?'”
“It felt exactly the most brilliant way it should feel.
There’s no need for an alarm clock.
it’s possible for you to’t wait to get to set.
you’re free to’t wait to show up.
You hope everyone is there, with no ego.
Sometimes it doesn’t happen that way, but you pray for it,” she replied.
“On this, no ego, everyone wanted to make a movie.
We weren’t trying to prove anything.
She has had a love-hate relationship with fame
Lara Flynn Boyle is no stranger to public attention.
In 2005, Boyle toldCosmopolitanabout her views on fame.
“Look, I love being famous.
Everything from her physical appearance to prior relationships has since been a consistent talking point for several outlets.
This, however, didn’t leave her with any regrets.
“It’s worth it.”
