Lara’s day out.
Reclusive actress Lara Flynn Boyle made a rare outing in Los Angeles over the weekend.
According to photos obtained by Page Six, the “Twin Peaks” actress was spotted smoking a cigarette while walking her rescue dog, Shrimp.
Boyle looked casual for the stroll, wearing a gray sweatshirt with the word “Irish” written in white letters, khaki pants and sneakers.

The “Men In Black II” star, 56, was last publicly seen in June 2025, when she was walking her dog around her Bel Air neighborhood.
Boyle stopped to chat with a neighbor before heading back into the house.
The actress was best known for her breakout role as high schooler Donna Hayward in Seasons 1 and 2 of “Twin Peaks.”

She starred in successful franchise films, such as “Wayne’s World” and “Men in Black II,” and earned an Emmy nomination for her role as prosecutor Helen Gamble on the legal drama “The Practice.”
As her fame rose, Boyle faced public scrutiny as tabloids reported on her every move, including her appearance and her high-profile romance with Jack Nicholson, who was 33 years her senior.
Though the “Threesome” actress worked less after marrying real estate developer Donald Ray Thomas in 2006, the paparazzi still hounded her, even snapping photos of her drinking whiskey in her car.

Despite all the negative attention, Boyle never thought about leaving Hollywood altogether.
“I never wanted to bow out. Any moment I was feeling down or sorry for myself, I made sure I did not complain,” she told People in 2024.
“My mom used to sometimes bring me articles about other actresses to show me I’m not the only one getting a raw deal,” she added.
