Twin Peaks star Lara Flynn made a rare comment about her past romance with Jack Nicholson, who she referred to as a ‘huge part of’ her life, in a new interview.

While reflecting on their on-again, off-again relationship, the 54-year-old actress raved that she views it as ‘seven years of great times.’ 

‘It’s seven years of wonderful,’ the Davenport native, who married Texas real estate investor, Donald Ray Thomas, back in 2006, elaborated. 

Although Boyle said she no longer hangs out with the three-time Oscar winner, 87, she did confirm to People that they still keep in touch. 

As for how her former flame is doing now, the Emmy nominee stated that Nicholson was out ‘making magic.’ 

‘The world of Jack is always here. There’s no retiring for the world of Jack. Never,’ she said, despite Nicholson not appearing in a film since 2010’s How Do You Know.

Boyle and Nicholson were were romantically linked back in 1991. 

After a number of breakups and reconciliations, they ultimately called it quits in 2006, right before she ended up meeting her current spouse. 

Flynn also took the opportunity to shut down the claims that she met Nicholson while out with her then-boyfriend David Spade. 

Back in 2015, the Saturday Night Live alum alleged that ‘Nicholson asked Lara Flynn Boyle out in front of me, while we were all smoking a doob somewhere.’ 

He recalled to Details that Boyle ‘got mad’ because he didn’t tell Nicholson to stop. 

Spade, then, insisted he had been ‘in this town long enough to know when’ he’s ‘outranked.’ 

In response to telling Boyle that she was ‘either gonna go out with him or’ not, Spade claimed she said: ‘No way. He’s worse than Trump!’

 Three decades later, Boyle emphatically shut down the story as she insisted that ‘never happened.’ 

‘I think certain people like to embellish that for publicity,’ she said. 

Following her relationship with Nicholson, Boyle said she never dated another movie star. 

‘I left with a bang when it came to actors,’ she mused.

In December, the actress, who splits her time between Los Angeles and Texas, and her husband will celebrate 18 years of marriage.

While speaking about her long-lasting marriage, she credited its longevity to ‘honesty, maturity, experience and respect.’ 

‘A lot of it is growing up,’ she said. ‘A lot of it is when you’re ready, and I’ve been so fortunate, I’ve had so many lovely gentleman callers. I have had a blast, and I have just met wonderful men to have time with and to learn with and grow with. It was just the right timing.’ 

Lara, who was born in Iowa, moved to California to work as a child actress in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day off.

She then went on to appear in Amerika in 1987 then Dead Poets Society in 1989.

She became famous when she landed the role of Donna Hayward in Twin Peaks from 1990 until 1991.

In the 1990s she appeared in several movies including Threesome, Afterglow, then returned to TV with The Practice in 1997.

In 2002, she had luck in movies again opposite Will Smith in Men In Black II then went on to work in Huff.

But in 2005, she was back to TV with Las Vegas with Josh Duhamel and Molly Sims. In 2009 she was in Baby On Board then later in Life Is Hot In Cracktown. 

She is next set to appear in the film, Mother, Couch, which comes out this Friday. 

Prior to dating Nicholson and Spade, she was in a relationship with Twin Peaks costar Kyle MacLachlan and was briefly married to John Patrick Dee III between 1996 to 1998.
