Background

Born in Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dôme, France, she was raised in the resort town of La Baule. As a teenager, she obtained a few modelling jobs. In 1988, she married Eric Vigne, a man 15 years her elder.

Appearance

Encouraged by her husband, Ferrari underwent numerous plastic surgery operations to create a convert|180|cm|in|abbr=off silicone-enhanced bust (22 enlargements, a Guinness world record).

She had to wear a specially engineered brassiere, and as a result of her many surgeries she suffered from a number of medical afflictions and lived with a heavy regimen of drugs.

The question of whether Ferrari had the largest surgically enhanced breasts in the world was hotly debated. Adult film stars such as Chelsea Charms, Maxi Mounds and Minka have been reported with even larger surgically enhanced busts, which they gained through the use of string implants.

Career

Adopting the stage name "Lolo", from a French slang word for breasts, along with "Ferrari" as a last name, she made a few pornographic films. Use of the Ferrari name (which she justified since it was her maternal grandfather's name) led to lengthy trademark infringement court battles with the Italian Ferrari automobile company when she tried to market a line of underwear called Ferrari Underwear and a Lolo Ferrari doll. In 1995, she caused a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival with the presentation of the movie "Camping Cosmos" by Jan Bucquoy and producer Francis De Smet during a boxmatch which was a remake of the boxmatch in "Camping Cosmos" between the European champion and the former opponent of Cassius Clay (Jean-Pierre Coopman). [Interview with Jean-Pierre Coopman in the Flemish periodical "Humo" 3415, p. 50-55, 14 februari 2006. See also picture : "
]

She used the publicity surrounding her appearance to obtain a regular role on the British Channel 4 television show "Eurotrash". Ironically, when Channel 4 broadcast her obituary, it was transmitted with straight dubbing as a mark of respect. The media hype led to appearances on other European shows and work in cabaret shows doing a song and striptease act. Hoping to launch a pop music career, she recorded two singles, titled "Airbag Generation" and "Set Me Free", as well as two more singles, a Euro disco cabaret song called "Dance Dance Dance", and a cover of Thelma Houston's Euro disco hit, "Don't Leave Me This Way". Neither of the latter two songs was given a commercial release. However, Ferrari retained a cult-like following.

Death

On the morning of death date|2000|03|05, one month after her 37th birthday, Ferrari was found dead at her home in Grasse in the Alpes-Maritimes département on the French Riviera of undetermined causes. Originally, she was thought to have died of a drug overdose, but a further autopsy revealed that she had died from mechanically induced suffocation. Her husband was suspected of her death and was arrested, spent one year in prison, but was later released.cite news | first=BBC | last= | coauthors= | title=Eurotrash star Lolo dies | date=2000-03-06 | publisher=BBC | url =http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/667728.stm | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2008-03-03 | language = ]
