She Was A Famous Actress Who Appeared In Around 100 Films, But One Tragic Mistake Drastically Altered Her Appearance

Lyn May, a Chinese-Mexican showgirl celebrated as “The Goddess of Love,” captivated audiences and appeared in nearly 100 films.

Unfortunately, a catastrophic Botox treatment in the 1990s left her with disfiguring bumps on her face instead of the expected enhancements. “I was injected with water, baby oil, or cooking oil,” she revealed, highlighting the tragic consequences of the procedure.

Born Lilia Guadalupe Mendiola Mayares in 1952, Lyn faced a challenging early life. She married an American sailor, but divorced him after five years due to allegations of abuse.

After moving to Acapulco, she rose to fame as a dancer and quickly became a prominent figure in Mexican cinema, especially in the Ficheras film genre.

Lyn’s personal life was plagued by misfortune. Following the death of her second husband, Antonio Chi Su, from cancer in 2008, Lyn admitted, “I dug him up and slept beside him,” as she struggled with her grief.

In 2021, Lyn grabbed headlines by announcing her pregnancy at 68, which was later revealed to be a publicity stunt. Despite her hardships, Lyn May remains a symbol of resilience and charm in Mexican pop culture, embodying the complexities of fame and the pursuit of beauty.
