Laura Harring made history as the first Latina to be crowned Miss USA in 1985. A year after her reign, the striking brunette was married to a German count and had begun her acting career playing Raul Julia's wife in the NBC TV-movie "The Alamo: 13 Days to Glory" (1987). After clashing with her husband over her desire to pursue an acting career, Harring obtained a divorce and landed the lead in "The Forbidden Dance" (1990) and a one-year (1990-91) stint on the ABC daytime serial "General Hospital". Her career really took off, though, after she landed one of the leads in the David Lynch pilot "Mulholland Dr." in 1999. When ABC passed on the project, Lynch received funding from producer Alain Sarde and StudioCanal to expand the material into a feature film which was released to glowing reviews in 2001. Laura Elena Herring was born and raised in Los Mochis, Mexico. After her parents' divorce and mother's remarriage, she and her family relocated to Texas. Shortly after settling in San Antonio, Harring was the victim of a drive-by shooting suffering a head wound. Following her recovery, she was educated at boarding schools in Texas and Switzerland before embarking on a journey to various parts of the world. While working as a restaurant cashier in the Philippines, she was briefly detained by her love-smitten boss who had confiscated her passport. (It was returned to her after her mother intervened.) Returning to the USA, Harring found employment as a sales clerk in a clothing store. On a dare, she entered a local beauty pageant and won. One pageant led to another and she eventually represented Texas in the Miss USA contest. When she was called upon to crown her successor, a sharp-eyed produced noticed her charisma and beauty and offered her a chance to act in the TV-movie. Harring made her feature acting debut in the forgettable horror sequel "Silent Night Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out!" (1989) and followed up as a Brazilian woman out to introduce the Lambada to American audiences in the cheesy "The Forbidden Dance". After her first soap stint, she was still relegated to less than stellar fare, like direct-to-video release "Dead Women in Lingerie" (1990). Garry Marshall tapped her to play a sultry tour guide of the titular sexual haven in "Exit to Eden" (1994) and she briefly returned to the world of daytime when she joined the NBC serial "Sunset Beach" in 1997 as policewoman Paula Stevens. Unhappy with the development of her character's storyline, she opted out. In 1999, Harring landed what was hoped would be her breakthrough, the part of a mysterious amnesiac who is befriended by a perky aspiring actress in Lynch's "Mulholland Dr." While she had to bide her time until the project found its ultimate form as a typical Lynchian film, Harring eventually earned a payoff. As Rita (who takes her name from Rita Hayworth), Harring delivered a terrific, dreamlike and sensual turn, nicely playing off co-star Naomi Watts. Even when the film ventures into oddball territory, she managed to captivate audiences. Between the reshoots and the film's ultimate premiere at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, the actress continued to remain busy with a supporting role in the Adam Sandler comedy "Little Nicky" (2000) and a turn as the mother who fled Cuba with her son in the Fox docudrama "The Elian Gonzalez Story" (also 2000). Following her work as the femme fatale in "Mulholland Dr.", Harring undertook (in her words) a "trashy, suburban character" in the action drama "John Q" (2002). The following year, she was cast in the rat-themed horror remake "Willard," which starred Crispin Glover as the title character. In "The Punisher" (2004), the second big-screen adaptation of Marvel Comics' gun-toting anti-hero, Harring was again a lovley vision onscreen and displayed a provocative and simmering chemistry with co-star John Travolta while playing his villainous character's wife, Livia Saint--indeed, the film initially seemed to promise that Harring would get to be as evil, or worse, as Travolta, but the script ultimately did not deliver. After a turn opposite Gael Garcia Bernal in "The King" (2005), she joined the cast of FX's gritty police drama "The Shield" in a recurring role of an attorney for the fifth season. > Walkout (2006) (post-production) ....
