Jack Nicholson’s Daughter Breaks Silence on His Scandalous Romance with Lara Flynn Boyle!

BBG News

In uncommon remarks, Jack Nicholson’s daughter, Lorraine, has spoken sparingly about her father’s widely known, intermittent relationship with Lara Flynn Boyle.

In 1999, renowned actor Nicholson (aged 87 at the time) and actress Boyle (then 54 years old), famous for her role in Twin Peaks, ignited a romance that lasted until 2004 when their relationship came to an end permanently.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share that Rebecca Broussard, aged 62, who happens to be my mom, served as an extraordinary role model for me. In our past, when we were involved in a remarkable relationship with her then-actor partner, spanning a significant 33-year age gap, I fondly referred to her as the ‘Mary Poppins of Mulholland Drive’.

In an interview for Vanity Fair, she mentioned: ‘At age nine, my closest friend was the 30-year-old actress Lara Flynn Boyle. This friendship was often perceived as inappropriate and sparked disapproval, although it might excite people to fantasize about such an unusual bond.’

Speaking about her unique upbringing that reflected a laid-back California hippie lifestyle, she mentioned: “We’d often hit golf balls into the canyons. We usually had dinner quite late, past 9 p.m. My brother and I lived in constant apprehension, although we never met him, of our mysterious neighbor Marlon Brando.

Lorraine, who is the sister of Ray Nicholson (aged 32), shared that her initial bond with Boyle developed around mutual struggles with self-doubt about their physical looks, as Lorraine often felt less attractive compared to her mother Broussard.

Through an uncanny sense, she perceived that I was hurting myself, and shared tales from a period when she herself needed to conceal her scarred shins with knee socks due to self-inflicted injuries.

As a dedicated follower, I can attest that Lara made me feel valued, as if my struggles held significance. In her interviews during that time, Lara shared a poignant story from her past: her father left her when she was only six years old. Amidst these hardships, her mother persevered, working tirelessly on three jobs. To assist, young Lara was tasked with the painful duty of collecting the remains of deceased rodents in a building where her mother worked.

Although my parents weren’t absent to the point of being like rats in a trash bag, as a child, I still felt that, despite having plenty materially, there was an emptiness in my life. Lara acknowledged and didn’t dismiss these feelings.

She held tightly onto Lara, as if Lara was stuck to her. Even though she understood that her father’s relationship with the actress wouldn’t endure eternally, she was clueless about how she could manage without her.

Lorraine reached out to Boyle, who’s now staying away from public attention, about arranging a conversation after 20 years, but her proposal was turned down.

She expressed about the denial: ‘Indeed, it seems like being turned down by Mommy. However, the fact is, whether I meet Lara again or not barely matters, for I harbor so much of her within me. At a time when I was still defining the kind of woman I aspired to be, Lara appeared, her magic carpet bag in tow. In Lara, I recognized traits that appealed to me – her unconventional wit, her non-conformist spirit, her kindness towards the downtrodden – and adopted them as my own. As she once told me, “I’ll forever carry you in my heart, dear.”‘

She articulated about the rejection: ‘Admittedly, it seems like being spurned by Mommy. Yet, what truly matters is that I internalized a great deal of Lara within me. During a period when I was still shaping my identity as a woman, Lara entered my life, her enchanted carpet bag in hand. In Lara, I admired qualities I desired – her offbeat humor, her unwillingness to conform, her empathy for the oppressed – and embraced them as my own. As she had said to me before, “I’ll hold you close in my heart, sweetheart.”‘

In the month of July 2024, Boyle opened up uncommonly about her previous relationship with Nicholson, whom she labeled as a significant figure in her life’s journey.

Reflecting on their rollercoaster romance, the actress gushed about it as seven years filled with wonderful moments.

Originally from Davenport, she expressed that the past seven years have been simply marvelous. She tied the knot with Texas-based real estate entrepreneur, Donald Ray Thomas, in 2006, to expand on this period.

As a devoted admirer, I may no longer socialize frequently with the three-time Academy Award laureate, but I can affirmatively state that we maintain a connection, as I occasionally keep in touch with her. (People magazine was the source of this confirmation.)

Regarding his current situation, the Emmy-nominated individual mentioned that Nicholson is engaged in creating some enchantment.

In her words, “Jack’s universe never fades away. It continues perpetually, without any concept of retirement for Jack’s world. Regardless of the fact that Jack Nicholson hasn’t starred in a movie since 2010’s ‘How Do You Know.’

Flynn additionally refuted rumors suggesting that she encountered Nicholson when she was out with her former boyfriend, David Spade.

In 2015, the former Saturday Night Live cast member claimed that Nicolson made a romantic advance towards Lara Flynn Boyle in my presence, as we were all enjoying a joint someplace.

He recalled to Details that Boyle ‘got mad’ because he didn’t tell Nicholson to stop. 

Spade, then, insisted he had been ‘in this town long enough to know when’ he’s ‘outranked.’ 

Instead of saying she told Boyle, “I’m either going to go out with you or I’m not,” Spade asserted that she had said something along the lines of, “Absolutely not! He’s even worse than Trump!” This version aims to keep the original meaning while using more conversational and everyday language.

Three decades on, I unequivocally debunk the tale, maintaining that it was never part of my experiences.

Or, in a more conversational tone:

I’ve been hearing this story for three decades now, but let me set the record straight – it never happened!

‘I think certain people like to embellish that for publicity,’ she said. 

Following her relationship with Nicholson, Boyle said she never dated another movie star. 

‘I left with a bang when it came to actors,’ she mused. 

Come December, my beloved wife and I, who share our time between Los Angeles and Texas, will be joyously commemorating our 18-year marital journey.

In discussing her enduring marriage, she attributed its length to ‘truthfulness, wisdom, life’s lessons, and regard for each other.’

She stated, ‘Much of it is about maturing, but it happens when you’re prepared. Remarkably, I’ve been blessed with numerous gentlemen who have contacted me. I’ve had a fantastic time, spending time with and learning from these wonderful men, growing along the way. It was all perfectly timed.’

Born in Iowa, Lara later relocated to California to star as a young actress in the 1986 movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

She then went on to appear in Amerika in 1987 then Dead Poets Society in 1989.

She became famous when she landed the role of Donna Hayward in Twin Peaks from 1990 until 1991.

During the 1990s, she made an appearance in multiple films such as “Threesome” and “Afterglow.” Later on, she went back to television work, joining the cast of “The Practice” in 1997.

In 2002, she found success once more in movies, this time alongside Will Smith in Men In Black II, followed by a role in the series Huff.

However, she returned to television in 2005 with the series “Las Vegas,” co-starring Josh Duhamel and Molly Sims. In 2009, she appeared in the movies “Baby On Board” and later “Life Is Hot In Cracktown.

She is next set to appear in the film, Mother, Couch, which comes out this Friday. 

Before her relationships with Nicholson and Spade, she had been in a romance with Kyle MacLachlan from “Twin Peaks” and was momentarily wedded to John Patrick DeIII from 1996 to 1998.
