When she received the call from David Lynch’s assistant telling her that the celebrated movie director wanted to meet with her immediately, Laura Harring didn’t even have an agent. After more than a decade of trying to carve out a space for herself in the film mecca, with only a couple of roles in TV soap operas to show for her pains, the Mexican actress had put her dreams of becoming a star on the back burner. “I had already given up on Hollywood,” she confessed. In fact, she was working for free: “I was doing theater and something very experimental.” But Lynch had picked her face from hundreds of actresses’ headshots and, regardless of her paltry resume, decided that she would be his next leading lady. Harring was so excited at the prospect that on the way to the director’s offices, she crashed her car into another vehicle. “When his assistant told me that the script opened with my character driving and getting into a car accident, I got goosebumps,” she said.
