Kelly Lynch
Kelly Lynch, a character actor drawn as a leading lady, is celebrated for her varied, challenging roles. She received early praise (and the first of two Independent Spirit Award nominations) as Diane, Matt Dillon’s strung-out girlfriend in Gus Van Sant’s critically acclaimed Drugstore Cowboy. Other notable roles include the sleek villainess in Charlie’s Angels, the sweetly glamorous country doctor opposite Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, and the Grace Kelly-like 1950’s heiress in Magic City. Currently, Kelly can be seen as the mother of a serial killer in Stephen King and David E Kelly’s Mr. Mercedes on the Peacock Network, and opposite Al Pacino in Gus Van Sant’s feature Dead Man’s Wire.
Lynch, currently President of the Oaks Neighborhood Association, has recently focused on wildfire education and home hardening in her historic Hollywood hillside community, culminating in the Oaks qualifying as an NFPA Firewise USA site.
