Lolo Ferrari, born Eve Valois (French dancer, sex star, pornographic actress, actress and singer billed as "the woman with the largest breasts in the world" although their size had been artificially achieved.
9 February 1963 – 5 March 2000), was aShe entered the international limelight in 1995 and appeared in the French Guinness Book of World Records in 1996 and again in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1999. Her death in 2000 was ruled a suicide, but suspicions remained that her husband may have been involved. He was cleared in 2007.
Born in Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dôme, France, Eve Valois was raised in the resort town of La Baule on the Atlantic coast. She often talked about her unhappy childhood, with her father absent and her mother Catherine Valois (née Ferrari) disliking her. As a teenager, she obtained a few modelling jobs.
In 1988, she married Eric Vigne, a former drug dealer 15 years her senior who had just been released from prison. She then started to work as a model with her husband as manager. She also worked as a prostitute, and her husband was arrested for being her pimp.
Encouraged by Vigne, she underwent, beginning in 1990, numerous plastic surgery operations to create a 180-centimetre (71 in) silicone-enhanced bust (she was originally a 37 inch bust). She had 22 enlargements, which is a Guinness world record. The Guinness Book of Records (2003) indicates each of her breasts weighed 2.8 kilograms (6.2 lb) and contained three litres of saline.
