During her latest conversation with People magazine, Lara Flynn Boyle expressed her love for Hollywood and opened up about her success over the years. She stated that she had a few "#MeToo experiences" throughout her career, adding that she left a few meetings, leading to bad consequences.
Notably, she has not appeared on the big screen for around four years, and referring to her mother, she stated:
"I never wanted to bow out. Any moment I was feeling down or sorry for myself, I made sure I did not complain. My mom used to sometimes bring me articles about other actresses to show me I'm not the only one getting a raw deal."
Lara Flynn Boyle addressed the break she has taken from acting, saying that it was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and a choice to spend more time with her husband, Donald Rey Thomas, a real estate developer. She said that she had a "lovely marriage" and that they had been together since they first met.
The actress disclosed how she has been adjusting her life between acting and family responsibilities. She stated that her marriage to Donald has not faced any problems until now since there has been a lot of "honesty, maturity, experience, and respect" between them.
She added:
"A lot of it is when you're ready, and I've been so fortunate, I've had so many lovely gentleman callers. I have had a blast, and I have just met wonderful men to have time with and to learn with and grow with. It was just the right timing."
She mentioned the things that have changed in the film industry since the time she made her debut and addressed the concept of "ageism in Hollywood".
Lara will next appear in the upcoming comedy-drama film, Mother, Couch, which features Ewan McGregor playing the lead. The film is arriving on the big screen on July 5, 2024.
