Lara Flynn Boyle was born on March 24th, 1970 to 21-year old Sally Boyle. For Sally and young Lara, money was not plentiful so Sally was required to work three jobs in addition to raising baby Lara by herself. Since Lara was mostly around Sally, they developed a bond that still binds Lara and Sally today. Until recently, Sally lived with Lara. Now they only live 10 minutes away from each other. Growing up, Lara had many struggles including dyslexia and a learning disabilty.
Boyle's film debut came as the cousin of little Carol Ann (Heather O'Rourke) in the rather unnecessary sequel "Poltergeist III" (1988), but she nonetheless gained prominence with her portrayal of homicide victim Jennifer Levin in the made-for-television movie "The Preppie Murder" (ABC, 1989). After a turn as Charlie Sheen's girlfriend in "The Rookie" (1990), David Lynch cast her as the wholesome girl-next-door, Donna Hayward, who is the best friend of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) and obsessed with finding her killer in the surreal cult drama, "Twin Peaks" (ABC, 1990-91). Boyle tried to shake her alleged nice image playing a showgirl involved with gangster Lucky Luciano (Christian Slater) in "Mobsters" (1991), a teenaged runaway in "Where the Day Takes You" (1992), and as the accident-prone former girlfriend of Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) in "Wayne's World" (1992). She delivered a delicately nuanced performance as Matthew Modine's shy lover in "Equinox" (1992), before turning villainous in the cliché-ridden psychological thriller, "The Temp" (1993). Boyle was fine as the manipulative target of a hit man in John Dahl's neo-noir "Red Rock West" (1993), which she followed as a promiscuous collegian in the poorly received comedy "Threesome" (1994).
