Catherine E. Coulson began her professional association with director
David Lynch when she worked as assistant director on Lynch's legendary
feature debut Eraserhead (1977). This is when the two began discussing the idea
of a woman who carried a log around with her. Coulson spent much of her
career working behind-the-scenes before finally bringing the Log Lady
to life on Lynch's cult TV series Twin Peaks (1990). The Log Lady was one of the
most puzzling and emblematic of the show's characters, and she has
ensured Coulson a permanent place in the hearts of cult TV fans.
