There was a time when Lara Capone was known for her hair styling prowess as she has been cast in such films as Tombstone, Grease, Blow, etc. However, it is her role as John D’Amato in Tombstone that has given her the reputation of being one of the sexiest and boldest women ever. She was only 16 when the film was released and since then she has played a leading role in all the sequels and other movies made by director Clint Eastwood. In all these movies, Lara Capone portrays the character of John D’Amato, a tough and resourceful American who was in charge of the FBI’s Anti-crime team in New York.

In this role, Capone has shown her stunning body and face, as well as her razor-sharp wit. In fact, the first time we meet D’Amato, he asks her over coffee, “How long have you been a lawyer?” to which she responds by telling him, “Well, I graduated from college, went to work for the Statue of Liberty, and now I’m an agent.” With that, we know that the couple had been together since grade school and this helps us to believe that their relationship is both professional and romantic. However, Capone’s height, age, and nationality make us speculate that her real identity is a Mexican American woman, thus lending more credibility to her resume.

Capone has played strong and tough characters throughout her career, yet never once let go of her love for coffee, which is evident in her many appearances in the TV shows she was involved with. We can conclude that Capone has always been able to lend her body to whatever role she has portrayed. The fact that she has kept the same physique throughout her profession also lends weight to the theory that she could be the real-life counterpart of Elena Dementia, the much younger wife of Dito Montoya, who was mentioned as the model for Capone’s partner in Tombstone. The truth is, there is no way to prove or even guess as to who will turn out to be the next Elena.
