Lorraine, 34, whose mom is actress and model Rebecca Broussard, 62, said Boyle became her 'role model' and dubbed her the 'Mary Poppins of Mulholland Drive' when she was dating her actor father in a scandalous 33 year age gap romance. In a profile for Vanity Fair, she said: 'When I was nine, my best friend was 30-year-old ingénue Lara Flynn Boyle. Their union was presented as something to be ashamed of, inspiring the kind of tsk-tsk condemnation that belies the thrill of imagining such a life.
