Lolo Ferrari (born February 9, 1963 in Clermont-Ferrand as Ève Geneviève Aline Vallois , † March 5, 2000 in Grasse ) was a French dancer , porn actress , presenter , actress and singer . She was best known for her very large breasts, which earned her an entry in the French Guinness Book of Records in 1996 and another entry in the US edition of the Guinness Book three years after her death.

Background and career

Ferrari grew up in the seaside resort of La Baule in western France . She married Eric Vigne, 15 years her senior, in 1988. Supported by him, she began to change her appearance through cosmetic surgery in the early 1990s . She underwent a total of 22 plastic surgeries and, in addition to increasing her chest size to 130 cm, also had her lips operated. She herself told the French newspaper “ Le Soir ” that she couldn't take anything in herself that was natural.

After a few appearances in porn films and as a model, Lolo Ferrari achieved worldwide presence for the first time with her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in the summer of 1995. During the Cannes Film Festival , she promoted the feature film Camping Cosmos , in which she played the role of the nymphomaniac wife of the campsite owner Monsieur Vandeputte. During a boxing match during the festival between Belgian boxers Jean-Pierre Coopman , a former challenger to Cassius Clay , and Freddy De Kerpel , she rang the ring as a ring girl. In 1995 she was elected European Miss Bosom Queen . In a short time, Lolo Ferrari became an actress, pop singer and co-host of the British comedy show Eurotrash on Channel 4 .

In 1996 Ferrari began a music career with their first generation single Airbag , another single called Set Me Free was released , but two more were not released afterwards. When she wanted to bring an underwear collection and a rubber doll with her name on the market, this led to legal disputes with the car manufacturer Ferrari over trademark rights, which the group ultimately lost.

Death under mysterious circumstances

On March 5, 2000, she was found dead in her apartment in Grasse. Initially, drug abuse was given as the cause of death . After an autopsy , the result of which indicated suffocation or strangulation , the investigators assumed a crime. Her husband was briefly detained nearly twelve months after Ferrari's death. His lawyers said they believed Ferrari choked on the weight of the silicone implants . The actual cause of death could not be determined.
