I Know Catherine, The Log Lady chronicles the life and final performance of the late Catherine E. Coulson, best known as the enigmatic Log Lady from “Twin Peaks.”
David Lynch, Kyle MacLachlan, Mark Frost, Kimmy Robertson, Grace Zabriskie, Robert Schenkkan, Lisa Loomer, Bill Rauch, Michael Horse, Dana Ashbrook, and Mindy Alper are among the interview subjects.
Shortly after the return of “Twin Peaks” was announced, Catherine learned she had terminal cancer. Not wanting to disappoint Lynch, her fans, and her castmates, Catherine struggled to live long enough to play the part of the Log Lady one more time before her own death days later.
The doc explores her personal journey, career, and the deep connection she shared with her most famous character. Through interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and reflections from those who worked with her, the documentary highlights Coulson’s unique talent, her love for acting, and the lasting impact of the Log Lady on fans and the world of television.
Richard Green, who appeared in Lunch’s Mulholland Drive, directs.
The film will have its Hollywood premiere on April 17 at the American Cinematheque’s This is Not a Fiction Film Festival. A full list of upcoming screenings can be found below.
“When Donna DuBain told me what lengths David Lynch and Catherine’s closest friends went through to get her final performance as the Log Lady on screen, days before she died, I knew there was a great story there,” said Green. “In their own words, Catherine’s friends weave a riveting tale of who Catherine was and and how and why the show must go on.”
