David Lynch Dies, Visionary Director Was 78

David Lynch, a filmmaker who changed the actual landscape of cinema and left a legacy of masterpieces, has passed away at the age of 78. The news comes just days after the co-creator of Twin Peaks and all-around genius was evacuated from his home during the apocalyptic wildfires of Los Angeles. Born on January 20, 1946, in Missoula, MT, the famed auteur began smoking at the eight of eight and did so for nearly 70 years. He developed serious emphysema in 2020, telling Eileen Finan of People in 2024, “In the back of every smoker’s mind is the fact that it’s unhealthy, so you’re literally playing with fire.”
