Laura Harring-actress and former Miss USA
Harring had two recurring TV roles early in her career. During 1990-1991, she played Carla Greco on ABC’s soap General Hospital, and during 1997, she played Paula Stevens on NBC’s soap Sunset Beach.
MULHOLLAND DRIVE star LAURA HARRING is set to become the latest celebrity to adopt a child.
The Mexican-born beauty is hoping to take a break from acting so she can focus her efforts on adopting a Latin American child with her fiance.
She tells WENN, “My plan is to finish my memoirs, and start writing and producing my own projects, so that I may spend more time with my family and adopt a child.
“I was recommended to go to two adoption agencies - Holt International or Children’s Hope International (and) I am looking into others as well.”
But, before Harring concentrates on her adoption dreams, she has volunteered to help package one million meals in a day as part of a Stop Hunger Now drive on 23 August (08).
She adds, “The meals go to Johannesburg, Zambia + Madagascar.”
She is best known for her performance in David Lynch’s cult film Mulholland Drive (2001), opposite Naomi Watts and Justin Theroux. Controversy arose when Lynch pixelized Harring’s pubic area in a nocturnal nude scene on the DVD release of the film – one of very few instances of cinematic nudity by a countess. Harring went on to work two more times with Lynch - as an anthropomorphic rabbit in Rabbits (2002) and in a cameo appearance in Inland Empire (2006). In 2003, she starred in Mi Casa, Su Casa together with Barbara Eden of I Dream of Jeannie fame.
In 2004, she starred as John Travolta’s spoiled wife in the movie adaptation of Marvel Comics’s The Punisher. In 2006, she joined the cast of the FX Networks crime drama, The Shield. She has most recently starred in Mike Newell’s adaptation of Gabriel García Marquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera (2007).
