David Lynch, “Twin Peaks” Creator and “Mulholland Drive” Director, Dies at 78: 'There's a Big Hole in the World'
Lynch was born in Missoula, Mont., in 1946 and grew up in Spokane, Wash., and Boise, Idaho. His father was a forest research scientist, and Lynch spent much of his childhood outside, exploring. Those same mysterious Pacific Northwest woods would eventually inspire Twin Peaks.
