David Lynch, director of 'Twin Peaks', 'Mulholland Drive', and 'Blue Velvet', dies at 78

Acclaimed American director David Lynch,poker wallpaper gangster known for "Blue Velvet," "Mulholland Drive," and "Twin Peaks," has passed away at the age of 78. The news was confirmed by his family in a Facebook post. The cause of death was not disclosed. "It is with profound sadness that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and artist, David Lynch. We would like some privacy at this time. There is a great void in the world now that he is no longer with us. But, as he would say, 'Keep your eye on the donut, not the hole.'" In 2024, the filmmaker revealed he had been diagnosed with pulmonary emphysema after smoking for much of his life. At the time, he admitted he needed an oxygen device to move around and urged people to avoid smoking. "A very important part of my life was smoking. I loved the smell of tobacco, the taste of tobacco. I loved lighting cigarettes," said Lynch, who had been smoke-free for three years. With a unique cinematic style featuring surrealist elements and genre cinema, Lynch was born into a middle-class family in Missoula, Montana, United States. In the 1960s, he moved to Philadelphia to study painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He worked as a painter while beginning to explore his interest in film through early short films. His first feature film came in 1977, already making a significant impact: "Eraserhead." The horror film with elements of black comedy became a classic in midnight screenings across the United States. Lynch's incomparable style soon caught Hollywood's attention, and he was hired by Mel Brooks to direct the classic "The Elephant Man" (1980). Starring Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, and Anne Bancroft, the film received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Director and Best Screenplay for Lynch. In 1984, Lynch's adaptation of Frank Herbert's "Dune" was not successful. Although it gained a cult following among fans of the filmmaker, the film, with a budget of US$40 million, was a box office failure. Subsequent works, however, restored his reputation as one of the industry's most respected names. With "Blue Velvet" (1986), he returned to the Oscar race after shining in a story starring Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, and Dennis Hopper. With "Wild at Heart" (1990), featuring Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, and Willem Dafoe, he won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. In the same year he released "Wild at Heart" in theaters, Lynch revolutionized American television by creating "Twin Peaks" in partnership with writer Mark Frost. The storyline follows an FBI agent, played by Kyle MacLachlan, who must solve the murder of a young student in the small town of Twin Peaks. The series had three seasons, with the third released 25 years after the second. He was again nominated for an Oscar and awarded at Cannes (as Best Director) with "Mulholland Drive" (2001), named by the BBC as the best film of the 21st century. David Lynch never liked to explain his films, many of which were considered difficult to understand by the audience, such as "Inland Empire" (2006). In 2019, he received an honorary Oscar for his lifetime achievement, presented by MacLachlan and Dern. Besides working as a director and screenwriter, Lynch made appearances as an actor in several of his works. His farewell to the screen was also as an actor, playing director John Ford in "The Fabelmans," an autobiographical project by Steven Spielberg. David Lynch was born on January 20, 1946. His father was a scientific researcher at the Department of Agriculture. During his childhood, he moved with his family to Alexandria, Virginia, where he attended high school. He was married four times, the last to actress Emily Stofle. He is survived by two daughters and two sons.
