Lara Flynn Boyle
Place of birth: Davenport, Iowa
Date of birth: March 24th, 1970
Although born in Iowa, Lara Flynn Boyle was raised in the Chicago area by her mother after her parents' divorce. Boyle tried to shake her "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 voracious, former girlfriend of Mike Myers' Wayne in "Wayne's World" (also 1992). She delivered a delicately nuanced performance as Matthew Modine's shy lover in "Equinox" (1992), directed by Alan Rudolph before turning villainous in the cliche-ridden "The Temp" (1993). She was fine as the target of a hit man in John Dahl's neo-noir "Red Rock West" (1993) and as the spunky collegian in the triangular "Threesome" (1994). While receiving a string of favorable reviews for her film and television work to date, it was not until she returned to series television that Boyle started to become a household name. In 1997, she joined the cast of David E Kelley's legal drama "The Practice" (ABC) as an assistant district attorney attracted to defense lawyer Dylan McDermott. She also reunited with director Alan Rudolph as a young woman involved with a much older handyman in "Afterglow" (1997). In 2002, Boyle scored her first blockbuster hit after replacing actress Famke Janssen in "Men In Black II."
