Naomi Watts Nearly Quit Hollywood After ‘Flunking Auditions’ for 10 Years and Her Agent Saying ‘You’re Too Intense.’ Then She Met David Lynch: I Was ‘Desperate’
Naomi Watts was ready to leave Hollywood behind after flunking auditions for 10 years. Then she met David Lynch for "Mulholland Drive."
Watts and Lynch would go on to reunite on projects such as “Rabbits” and “Twin Peaks: The Return,” which co-starred the director’s other muses like Kyle MacLachlan and Laura Dern. Finally, I sat in front of a curious man, beaming with light, speaking words from another era, making me laugh and feel at ease. The actor is currently making the press rounds in support of her new book, “Dare I Say It.” After Lynch cast Watts in “Mulholland Drive,” Hollywood finally came calling with major roles in the likes of “The Ring” and “21 Grams.”
