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

Lyn May, the renowned Chinese-Mexican showgirl known as “The Goddess of Love,” dazzled audiences with her charm and star power across nearly 100 films. However, a disastrous Botox treatment in the 1990s forever altered her glamorous image. Instead of enhancing her features, the procedure left her with grotesque lumps on her face. “I was injected with water, baby oil, or even cooking oil,” she lamented, exposing the horrific results of the ill-fated treatment.

Born Lilia Guadalupe Mendiola Mayares in 1952, Lyn’s early life was fraught with hardship. She married an American sailor, but their union ended in divorce after five years amid allegations of abuse. Seeking a fresh start, Lyn moved to Acapulco, where she quickly rose to prominence as a dancer and became a celebrated figure in Mexican cinema, particularly within the Ficheras film genre.

Her personal life was marked by profound sorrow. Following the death of her second husband, Antonio Chi Su, from cancer in 2008, Lyn revealed the depth of her grief: “I dug him up and slept beside him,” she confessed, a testament to her profound sense of loss.

In 2021, Lyn stirred controversy by announcing her pregnancy at the age of 68, only for it to be later disclosed as a publicity stunt. Despite the trials she has faced, Lyn May remains an enduring symbol of resilience and allure in Mexican pop culture, reflecting the often tumultuous nature of fame and the quest for eternal beauty.
