This series has very special things, i share it with you, look:

  • Mark Frost and David Lynch split the writing of the dialogues
  • The European version has a different ending
  • Laura Palmer's story is inspired by Marilyn Monroe
  • Steven Spielberg was about to direct an episode
  • Diane Keaton directed an episode of the second season (The Slave and Masters episode, 2×15, a particularly strange one in which we see things like the recreation of an event from the Civil War in which Ben faints and believes that everything has been a dream).
  • Sheryl Lee had been hired only for the river scene
  • The actors memorized their lines backwards to film in the red room
  • References to film noir in the names of the characters
    Maddy (from Madeleine) shared a first name with one of the characters played by Kim Novak in Vertigo, and a last name with Scottie Ferguson, Jimmy Stewart's character. Other coincidences in character names are Walter Neff (Perdition), Dr. Lydecker (Laura) or Gordon Cole, a character played by Lynch, who borrowed the name from Twilight of the Gods, one of his favorite films.
  • The original theme song for Laura was composed in 20 minutes.

and there are many more curiosities that make this series even more interesting, I bet you didn't know most of these =).

Wish you enjoy it honey! =)
