1. There is a sadness in this world...

...indeed...

2. I know.

And she was slated to be in the new series. It was nice to know that she was good friends with David Lynch, and interesting that she was a camera operator. One of my friends on FB said she was active in the Shakespeare Festival in Oregon for over twenty years.

Pass gently, Catherine

4. She worked with Lynch all the way back

to "Eraserhead" IIRC.

RIP.

5. I'd read that, too.

Even worked as a second camera operator, if I recall correctly. I don't know what it takes to operate one of those larger film cameras, but it's certainly a highly skilled position.

The Log Lady was an interesting character. There was one scene where the diner people scolded her when she put her gum under the table
