Twin Peaks

[DRW50]

Piper's work as Catherine, especially in the first season before they lost focus with the character, was electric. I always think of the incredibly glamorous publicity shot with Piper and Joan Chen dressed to the nines, injecting style as the primetime soaps had become so garish in their dying years. She ran all over season 1, spreading wickedness, incredibly frank sexuality for a woman her age, and some real belly laughs (the scene where she leads the lodge convention-goers in some kind of weird dance to make it look like Leland is not having a psychotic breakdown is one of the show's best moments of dark humor). One of my all time favorite scenes on the show, or any show, was the moment near the end of season 1 where Catherine realizes that Pete, the husband she'd always looked down on, was the only one who had ever cared about her. Piper and Jack Nance could break your heart and build it back up again.

I thought once Catharine came out of hiding after disguising herself as a Japanese business man was when the show couldn't figure out what to do with her.  And when the Andrew Packard/Josie arc was done...she didn't really do much for the rest of the second  season.

She, along with Madchen amick both played unexpected break out characters..and Twin Peaks wouldn't have been the same without them.

She also had to play second fiddle to her brother. The scene where she reunites with Pete is lovely; that's about all I take out of the second season with Catharine.

A true legend I've only come to appreciate the work of more, and so good in Season 3.

Not sure if this has been posted, but I just came across it while researching Warren Frost.....

Twin Peaks and the Twin Cities: The forgotten local connection to the classic TV show

Thanks!

[Vee]

Thanks for this. I also had no idea Frost played Iva's father on ATWT. I would love to see that.

I imagine many fans here already know about this, but I didn't until recently. A "visual soundtrack" that was a Japan-only laserdisc release in the early or mid '90s. A neat little CGI intro leads to a tour of the real city, all with that gorgeous soundtrack. There are some neat surprises, and some deeply sobering moments, like a tour of a train car...

I knew about this but haven't looked at it in many years. The show was so huge in Japan.

Oh man. That's almost as good as the Marianne Williamson one.

@DRW50 Mark Frost is interviewed for an anniversary. Interesting stuff re: S3 and the books.

Also, Lynch discusses an animated project and (typically) cryptically mentions future plans.
