While surfing through the world wide web I found an unknown interview with
Lara Flynn Boyle she gave to the so-called
Happy Woman Magazine. But beware: This publication is a pure parody or in its own words: "A literary composition imitating the characteristic style of some other work or writer, but treating a serious subject in a nonsensical manner in an attempt at humor or ridicule." Conclusion: The interviews and the interviewers are not real. But it's fun to read. Here we go.
LibbyHello lovely to see you--you're much shorter than I thought you'd be.
LaraI always say 'size doesn't matter'.
LibbyOK you're snickering like a schoolboy so I guess that was one of those whatchamacallit's 'double entendre' things that I never get. What I mean is in the land of the giants you're a squirt--do you have a problem with that?
LaraLord, no I don't have a problem with my body. I don't diet, I haven't had a boob job--I'm not going to be the subject of a movie of the week ten years from now.
LibbyOh, I know dear, but don't let it depress you. They don't make a MOW out of nobodies unless they get a really good disease. But don't give up, maybe an addiction, maybe a few more roles... I have to confess I've never heard of you but my nephew Frank (my new research assistant) is a big fan. He didn't even have to research very hard because most articles about you were next to his work bench. Now, Is it true you lost out on the Ally McBeal role to Calista Flockhart?
LaraYeah, but that doesn't bother me because I got a role on "The Practice".
LibbyThat is so brave of you! Do you think you lost the role because you are too fat?
LaraWhat?
LibbyOops hit a nerve, I'll just move on. There was an article about you in Vanity Fair and you were quoted as saying "I'm the kind of woman who, when she walks into a party, all the other women leave the room."
LaraYeah.
LibbyOh, you poor thing. I'm sure that's not true!!!
LaraYup, since I was seventeen.
LibbyYou could probably do something about that, maybe learn to sing or buy presents--believe me I wasn't always a sparkling raconteur. It took some work.
LaraYou misunderstood--when I say they leave the room I mean they are threatened by me.
LibbyWhy, what have you been doing to them?
LaraWhat I mean is, the way I look seems to threaten other women.
LibbyWell you do wear a lot of eye make-up and that's kind of scary. Maybe if you tone it down, practice a nice smile. Do you think that's why Harrison's wife left him? She got spooked by the leer and the gloss?
LaraI had nothing to do with the break-up of that marriage.
LibbyOh, hon I believe you, after all he's a big movie star he could have a 'name' girlfriend. You've were also linked romantically with David Spade--that I could see, he's a squirt too and funny!!!! Oh God I loved him in... what's that movie, the one where he was funny.
LaraBlack Sheep? Tommy Boy?
LibbyNo, that's not it, the one where he was a waterboy It'll come to me--
LaraIt doesn't matter anyway, we were never boyfriend and girlfriend.
LibbyOh, that's a shame hon, if he'd been interested you could have snuggled up to him for a couple of years then you could have moved up to the big names.
LaraI don't need a "name' boyfriend, I'm doing just fine by myself thank you very much.
LibbyAnd there was some talk about you dating Jack Nicklaus...
LaraJack Nicholson. The Chief..
LibbyBut don't worry hon I didn't believe a word of it, they print all kinds of rubbish on a slow celebrity news day.
LaraI wouldn't say it was rubbish. The whole world is in love with Jack why can't I be?
LibbyYou're nice kid in a kind of rough way. I just want you to know you don't have to make up pretend boyfriends just to impress me.
LaraAre you for real?
LibbyI'm just saying maybe you should rethink that David thing, get a nice frock, practice smiling and how-do-you-do's and who knows maybe they will make a film about you, I mean anything's possible. You're too old to be an ingenue but with a little luck and my fingers crossed who knows? You might get a nice "mom" role if you washed of the goop. Best of luck darling.
Lara**** you.
