Kelly Lynch, the iconic 80s bombshell, surprised fans with a rare public appearance. The stunning actress, known for her debut role in Cocktail alongside Tom Cruise, was spotted looking almost unrecognizable but still as gorgeous as ever.
At 65 years old, Kelly was dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit consisting of black leggings and a coat. Her signature long blonde hair from the 80s has now been replaced with a beautiful reddish auburn color, giving her a more low-key and mysterious look.
Fans may also remember Kelly for her role as the sultry and down-to-earth Doctor Elizabeth in the cult classic, Road House, opposite Patrick Swayze. She even received an Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her role as a drug addict in Drugstore Cowboy, further solidifying her talent as an actress.
Kelly had the opportunity to take on the lead role of Catherine Tramell in the infamous film Basic Instinct in 1992, but she turned it down. The role eventually went to Sharon Stone, who became known for her portrayal of the enigmatic femme fatale. However, Kelly has no regrets about her decision, stating that she made different choices as a mother.
In a 2017 interview with People, Kelly revealed that her role in Road House was not something she earned through her acting skills, but rather her sex appeal. She jokingly mentioned that her audition for the film involved trying on various bikinis.
Kelly also had the opportunity to work with Tom Cruise in Cocktail, and she fondly remembers both him and Patrick Swayze, who she describes as amazing, sweet, and kind guys. She enjoyed working with them and has only positive things to say about her experience.
Aside from her successful acting career, Kelly was also a successful model. However, she has always been drawn to complex and dark characters, which is why her role in Drugstore Cowboy remains her favorite performance. She explained that she feels most alive when portraying characters with complicated personalities and dark humor.
Kelly may have had the chance to star in Basic Instinct, but she has no regrets about her decision. As a mother, she made choices that she felt were best for her family, and she stands by them. She is now enjoying her life, and fans were thrilled to see her looking as beautiful as ever in her rare public appearance.
