Rebekah Del Rio Dies: Singer In Iconic ‘Mulholland Drive’ Scene was 57
Rebekah Del Rio, the singer whose performance in an indelible scene in David Lynch‘s 2001 film Mulholland Drive, died June 23. She was 57.
Born July 10, 1967 in Chula Vista, Calif., Del Rio began performing to critical acclaim in San Diego before moving to Los Angeles in 1989. Her recording of “Llorando,” the title given to her Orbison cover, was brought to Lynch’s attention by their mutual agent, and the director arranged a meeting where Del Rio performed the song for him. Enchanting the Club Silencio audience with a powerfully emotional performance, Del Rio’s character faints (or worse) and crumples to the stage floor as the song hits its crescendo.
