In the seven years since the surrealist soap Twin Peaks got Bobbed, its four costarlets have made more than 60 films. Lara Flynn Boyle, now a D.A. on the ABC series The Practice, has the highest profile, but everybody's keepin' on. Here's a career update.
-- Troy Patterson
WHO LARA FLYNN BOYLE, Peaks' cutesy confidante Donna Hayward
POST-PEAKS PEAK 1992: Drove Nic Cage to distraction in the Big Sky noir Red Rock West
