Lara Flynn Boyle began her career upon graduation from the Chicago Academy for the Arts. She starred opposite Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as the evil alien temptress Serleena in the sequel to the film blockbuster, "Men in Black II." Flynn Boyle co-stars on the NBC hit "Las Vegas" as Monica Mancuso, the flamboyant owner of the Montecito Resort & Casino. Monica Mancuso was portrayed as a self-centered, bull-headed autocrat, although she helped Danny, Mike and Ed on some occasions. It is revealed that at age 25, she married an 83-year-old billionaire and upon his death at 93, inherited his fortune, and used it to purchase the Montecito and other casinos. She was determined to prove that she was something more than just a woman who inherited money. She later died in a freak accident in which a gust of wind blew her off the roof of the Montecito, causing her to plummet to the ground below.
