Laura Dern Remembers David Lynch On His Birthday: “I Will Love And Miss You Every Day”


Laura Dern is remembering collaborator and friend David Lynch on what would have marked his 79th birthday.

“I will love and miss you every day for the rest of my life.” (The visionary director was especially fond of nicknames for his many muses: Dern is “tidbit,” Naomi Watts is “buttercup,” Patricia Arquette is “solid gold” and Kyle MacLachlan is “kale.”) Dern worked with Lynch across three films, beginning with 1986’s mystery-thriller Blue Velvet, in which she plays Sandy Williams — a detective’s daughter who becomes embroiled in an investigation connected to a severed ear — opposite MacLachlan’s leading man. Additionally, the Big Little Lies actress collaborated with Lynch on psychological thriller Inland Empire(2006), as well as Showtime’s third season of Twin Peaks, set 25 years after the original ’90s ABC series.
