Laura Harring was about to give up her dream of being an actress when a call from David Lynch changed her life. The Mexican actress was the protagonist of one of the most acclaimed films of this century, Mulholland Drive.

She celebrates her 60th birthday by announcing her retirement from the seventh art. “I am not dead, there is still a lot to live for,” she wrote on her Instagram account on her retirement. ‘I have already left my mark on Hollywood, I am part of a classic,’ she said.
