Actress Mädchen Amick, known for her role as waitress Shelly Johnson in David Lynch’s hit ABC series Twin Peaks, has paid a heartfelt tribute to the show’s creator after his death at 78.
Amick described Lynch as “my mentor”, “a simply wonderful guy” and “my north star”. She fondly remembered their long conversations about life and career, saying they were both inspired by each other.
Lynch’s family announced his death on Thursday after he was diagnosed with emphysema. The cause of his death is believed to have been related to the Sunset Fire that forced him to relocate from his home.
Mädchen Amick reprised her role as Shelly in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) and Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). Lynch’s family asked for privacy during this time, saying there was a “big hole” left by his passing.
