Lara was glimpsed walking her dog in Los Angeles earlier this month – the first time she was snapped out in public in two years.

Back in 2018 she hit the headlines when she was seen holding a Johnnie Walker Red Label bottle to her mouth as she drove.

The Iowa-born actress broke into Hollywood in the 1980s, getting a Screen Actors Guild card via a bit part in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

She earned even greater fame on the David Lynch series Twin Peaks from 1990 to 1991 and became romantically involved with her co-star Kyle MacLachlan.

Her dating history has also included Jack Nicholson, who is 33 years her senior, as well as actor and comedian David Spade.

She was married to one John Patrick Dee III from 1996 to 1998 and has been married to her current husband, real-estate investor Donald Ray Thomas II, since 2006. 

Lara earned an Emmy nomination on The Practice and has also acted in such films as Wayne’s World, Dead Poets Society, Red Rock West and Men In Black II.

The last completed project Lara has acted in was the 2015 family comedy Lucky Dog, according to her IMDb page.

She gave a rare interview to the Hollywood Reporter in October 2017 as the #MeToo movement began to take off.

When she was asked if she was ‘ever mistreated in your career’ she replied: ‘Oh, all the time. All the time! It happens all the time.’

She said of her response: ‘I looked at it on two levels: Do I want to flip burgers, or do I want to put up with someone not being appropriate with me? I chose the other side.’

Lara explained that the experience ‘still stays with you. You still remember things that were not quite appropriate, but you move on and that’s all you can do I guess. I support all the actresses that have come forward.’
