The Cast of Coyote Ugly: Where Are They Now?

Maria Bello as Lil

The beautiful Maria Bello blessed the character of Lil Lovell, the founder of Coyote Ugly Saloon. Her role was of a bold empowered woman who opened her first bar in NYC all by herself. She recruited young ladies and taught them wild tricks to engage the customers. Violet reached out to Lil for a job and persuaded her to include her in the crazy Coyote crew. The character of Lil has made a significant impact on the film, and Maria was undoubtedly the perfect fit for the role.
