This was Melanie's first, and, to-date, only movie project that
was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Although she was not
the star according to the publicity surrounding the movie, this
was the first time since 'Heavenly Creatures' that her name
graced the film's poster.
'Coyote Ugly' was also the first time
that Lynskey was given a
mature, sexy look. Her character, Gloria,
the best friend of the
main character, Violet, (Piper Perabo)
was every bit as
voluptuous as the girls in the bar from
which the film took its
title from. Filmed in the actual
CU bar in New York, the story
allowed Melanie to show more attitude
and be a little more
sexually coarse.
In spite of not having that much screen
time, Lynskey made
the most of the scenes she did appear
in and was memorable
in every one.
