BREAKING: David Lynch, visionary filmmaker behind ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Mulholland Drive,’ dies at 78

by



David Lynch, the filmmaker celebrated for his uniquely dark vision in such movies as “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and the TV series “Twin Peaks,” has died just days before his 79th birthday.

His family announced the death in a Facebook post on Thursday. The cause of death and location was not immediately available, but Lynch had been public about his emphysema.

“We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, `Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole,”’ the post read. “It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”

  23. I'm a proud AFI grad. RIP David Lynch, a legendary director. He visited AFI quite often, and about 18-ish years ago, he was a chain smoker then—I’m sure he smoked at least two or three packs until his last day:) whatever works to feed his creative soul… What a great director…
