David Lynch’s belongings fetch $4.25m at auction, including scripts for unfinished film

Items ranged from video cameras and guitars to taxidermy deer heads, props from Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive – and the director’s personal coffee machine

Personal effects belonging to the film-maker David Lynch, who died in January, have fetched more than $4m at auction in Los Angeles, with the highest bid of $195,000 going to scripts for his unrealised film project Ronnie Rocket. Auctioned items included a telephone owned by Lynch and prop menus from Winkie’s, the diner in his film Mulholland Drive. Over the years, as drafts of Ronnie Rocket circulated on the internet, the project accrued cult status – to the chagrin of Lynch, who preferred to keep his work tightly under wraps until completion.
