How David Lynch, the Cast of ‘Twin Peaks’ and Her Lifelong Friends Are Paying Tribute to the Beloved Log Lady in a Documentary About Her Life


The director of documentary 'I Know Catherine, the Log Lady' talks about interviewing David Lynch and Catherine Coulson in 'Twin Peaks: The Return.'

She was a fan favorite who made time to speak with series enthusiasts and helped perpetuate its lore, as well as a longtime actor with Ashland’s Oregon Shakespeare Festival and a camera assistant who pulled focus for David Lynch, John Cassavetes and Albert Brooks. Coulson made “everyone who was close to her feel like they were her best friend,” says Richard Green, director of “I Know Catherine, The Log Lady,” a feature-length documentary that screens at Ojai’s Playhouse Theatre Saturday with a Q&A from “Twin Peaks” co-creator Mark Frost. Several of those friends were involved in making the doc, which ends with the dramatic story of the last few days of Coulson’s life, as Lynch and company raced against her rapidly progressing lung cancer to include her in the Showtime reboot “Twin Peaks: The Return.”
