Catherine Coulson, best known as the eccentric Log Lady in Twin Peaks, has passed away at age 71.
Ms. Coulson began her career behind the scenes, working as an assistant to David Lynch. Despite the fact that she was primarily a theater actress, Mr. Lynch convinced her to take a role on Twin Peaks, telling her he had always seen her holding a log. As the eccentric 'Log Lady', Ms. Coulson stole the show, becoming the show's hostess in reruns. A fan favorite, she was a popular guest at fan conventions. Her presence on the upcoming Twin Peaks revival will certainly be missed.
