Blonde former model turned self-proclaimed character actress in films and TV of the late 1980s and 90s. Lynch made her acting debut as the titular character in the straight-to-video sci-fi quickie, %22Osa%22 (1985) while pregnant with her daughter, Shane. She turned up again in 1988 in a bit part in %22Bright Lights, Big City%22 and a larger role as the nymphomaniac wife of Bryan Brown in the Tom Cruise vehicle, %22Cocktail%22. She received more attention playing opposite Patrick Swayze in the action flick, %22Road House%22 (1989). Lynch attracted serious critical attention with a moving, resolutely unglamorous performance as the junkie wife of Matt Dillon in Gus Van Sant's moody, picaresque %22Drugstore Cowboy%22 (1989). She subsequently appeared as the love-struck attorney of Mickey Rourke in Michael Cimino's remake, %22Desperate Hours%22 (1990) and John Hughes' family comedy, %22Curley Sue%22 (1991). Lynch was better served by the unconventional romantic comedy, %22Three of Hearts%22 (1993). Co-scripted by her husband, Mitch Glazer, and co-starring Sherilyn Fenn and William Baldwin, the film depicted a triangle involving two female lovers and a male escort. Lynch also appeared in a 1993 French co-production, %22For Better and For Worse/R.S.V.P.%22, a whimsical comedy featuring the Pope deciding to attend the wedding of a troubled couple so as to brighten his own public image.
