    passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch," reads the
    family's statement. "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.' It's a beautiful day with
    golden sunshine and blue skies all the way."
    Lynch first studied painting before jumping into the world
    of film in the late 1960s. His feature debut, 1977's
    Eraserhead, saw success as a midnight movie and propelled
    him into stardom as a filmmaker. He went on to make the 1980
    drama The Elephant Man, which earned him an Academy Award
    nomination, and then helm the infamous 1984 adaptation of
    Dune.
    In 1986, Lynch would direct one of his most famous films,
    the neo-noir mystery thriller blue Velvet starring Kyle
    MacLachlan (who would go on to be a longtime collaborator
    with Lynch), Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper, and Laura
    Dern (another future collaborator). The film went on to
    become a cult classic, and is now often regarded as one of
    the best films of all time.
    In 1990, Lynch would create perhaps his most well-known and
    famous project, the television series Twin Peaks, a surreal
    mystery drama that aired on ABC for two seasons. In 1992, he
    directed Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, a prequel film, and
    more than 20 years later, he returned to Twin Peaks with the
    critically acclaimed third season of Twin Peaks.
    Following Twin Peaks, Lynch would go on to direct 1997's
    Lost Highway, as well as 2001's Mulholland Drive, a
    surrealist neo-noir mystery film starring Justin Theroux,
    Naomi Watts, and Laura Harring, that garnered massive praise.
    Lynch's last film was 2006's Inland Empire.
    Lynch was honored with an Honorary Academy Award in 2019, and
    throughout his life, earned numerous other accolades,
    including the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2006.
    He is often regarded as one of the most influential
    filmmakers of the modern era of movies. Outside of his work
    in film, Lynch also became extremely popular throughout
    social media for his dry humor-filled "weather reports" that
    he would share on the radio and social media for years.
    ComingSoon extends its condolences to Lynch's family and
    friends at this time.
