Lara Flynn Boyle Latest Celeb Plastic Surgery Nightmare?

What happened?  She could be Priscilla Presley’s long-lost sister.  Actress Lara Flynn Boyle was spotted out and about, and with her emaciated frame and puffy features, she was practically unrecognizable:

The 38-year-old’s bloated face, drooping jowls and bursting trout pout rendered her almost unrecognisable from the actress who first shot to fame in director David Lynch’s cult television series Twin Peaks.

Her famously fragile, childlike frame, which was left swimming in a beige pant suit, only added to her worrying appearance.

Lara, who formerly starred in popular US series The Practice and chalked up big screen credits including Men In Black 2, has struggled to keep her career as buoyant in recent times.

Six years ago, Lara, who once dated Jack Nicholson, admitted she dreaded getting older out of fear her Hollywood roles would dry up.

Then just 32, she said: “I know I may be running out of time. There are just not that many roles for older women.”

She added: “On a vanity level, I am not looking forward to ageing at all - I think I look pretty good now.”

When, when, WHEN will people in Hollywood learn…trying to appear younger than you are isn’t the answer to landing film roles.  There will always be someone younger and fresher-faced than you, and when you alter yourself you just become one of that crowd, just older.  Age gracefully, embrace who you are, and if enough women do this then maybe the Hollywood machine will take notice that we refuse to bend to an artificial standard of what a very few minority consider to be “beauty”.

As it is now, she looks much, much older than 38.  Hopefully this is a temporary effect of Botox or medication or something that will wear off.  I hate to see beautiful women do things like this to themselves because they think they need to live up to some anonymous and undefined “beauty rule”.  Stop now, before it’s too late!

  5. Plastic surgery is part of Hollywood. If you want to stay then you have to look good and look young. That is why most celebrity in Hollywood always went on plastic surgery, for them to stay in touch.
