I Know Catherine, The Log Lady, the extraordinary story of a dying woman’s struggle to live long enough to fulfill her responsibilities to her daughter, her friends and ultimately herself.
From David Lynch’s “right hand man” on Eraserhead to 1st camera assist on Star Trek: Wrath of Khan; from the role of Snow White at Disneyland to international cult icon as The Log Lady in Twin Peaks; from revolutionary Theatre in ‘60s San Francisco to 22 seasons at OSF, the largest repertory theatre in the US – she inspired the best.
Now David Lynch, TP co-creator Mark Frost, playwrights Lisa Loomer and Robert Schenkkan, DP Fred Elmes, directors Nicholas Meyer, Jenny Sullivan, Bill Rauch, Timothy Near, Christopher Liam Moore, actors Kyle MacLachlan, Kimmy Robertson, Michael Horse, Dana Ashbrook, Grace Zabriskie, Donna Du Bain and more, reveal how Catherine Coulson came to play the dying Log Lady, one last time, days before dying of the same wasting disease herself.
