Meet ’80s star Kelly Lynch’s actress daughter who’s starred alongside Adam Sandler and Jennifer Garner

Shane is an actress, as well as an animator and writer. She has appeared in projects such as Men, Women & Children, alongside Adam Sandler and Jennifer Garner.

She has also been featured in The Last Duel, Magic City, and The Blackout.

Kelly admitted that juggling being a single mother and a working actress was extremely difficult ,and she often made the hard decision of putting her career on the back burner.

She recalled to People: “Like Katharine Hepburn said, ‘You can be a wife, a mother or an actor, but you can only be two of the three.’ That definitely happened [to me]. I would just say no to things to be with Shane.”

One of the roles that she rejected was the lead character in Basic Instinct, however, if she could turn back time, she wouldn’t change a thing.

She expressed: “As interesting and titillating as I thought that movie was, with a kid you just make different decisions. But I don’t regret a bit of that.”

At one point in time, both of them auditioned for a David Lynch project, however, they didn’t get similar results.

Kelly revealed: “She got the part, I didn’t. But I was super proud!” The duo joined forces on Magic City, which Mitch created in 2012.

Out of all the projects Kelly has had the privilege to work on, there’s one that takes precedence over the others. Kelly admitted: “[Drugstore Cowboy was] my favorite movie in my career.”

She was drawn to “really complicated characters where the humor is dark,” as she expressed: “That’s when I’m in heaven.”

Kelly studied at the Guthrie Theater and became a flight attendant. Soon after, she was signed as a model to the popular agency Elite.

Her big breakthrough role came thanks to Cocktail in 1988, and a year later she starred in Road House, with Patrick Swayze. Next came her role in Drugstore Cowboy.

She also appeared in Desperate Hours, Virtuosity, Charlie’s Angels, The Jacket and more over the years.
