The protagonist of “Mulholland Drive”, Naomi Wochrevealed that the legendary director, David Leedsdespite the serious health problems he was facing, he “wanted to return” to the cinematic plateau.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, she said that last November she had the opportunity to spend one afternoon with the iconic creator. With them was Laura Dern, the protagonist of “Blue Velvet” and “Wild at Heart”.

“We had a great meal in his home. I knew it was not good, but it was in a great mood. He wanted to come back, Laura and I encouraged him by saying, ‘You can do it! You could work from the caravan ‘. It was not over with anything. I saw his creative spirit alive » explained.

Leeds passed away on January 16th in his 78th year. Last August he had announced that he was diagnosed with emphysema, and two months later admitted that difficulties in breathing prevented him from working on a plate, noting:

“I can find it difficult to cross a room. It’s like walking with a plastic bag around your head. “

His latest feature work was the series “Twin Peaks: The Return” (2017), starring both Wats and Denn, and made a brief appearance as the legendary director John Ford in the film “The Fabelmans” (2022).

Wats worked with him for the first time in the 2001 drama “Mulholland Drive”, after the director stood out her photo through a steppe of actors, according to the Guardian. ‘There is a lot I could share [για τον Λιντς]but I want to be discreet because of his family. But it was a truly powerful acquaintance that filled me with a lot of love and hope »Woats ended.
