Career

She portrayed Laura Palmer's[2] friend Ronette Pulaski[3][4] in several episodes of the original 1990 series Twin Peaks.[1][5] The pilot episode featured a scene of her walking across train tracks. The image was used widely for promotional and marketing purposes, including on the VHS cover of the original Pilot, which was released as a movie in Europe,[6] and became iconic in pop culture. She reprised her role in the 1992 prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.[7][8][9][10]

Other roles include the movie Plain Clothes (1987) and two notable short-lived sitcoms from the early 90s: The Elvira Show[11][12] and Frannie's Turn.[13][14][15] Around the same time, she also appeared in the TV movie Black Widow Murders: The Blanche Taylor Moore Story.[16] She was a musician/singer in the band "Cling".[15][17][18]

After a break of many years, she returned to acting in 2017, working again with David Lynch on the Twin Peaks revival, Twin Peaks: The Return, playing "American Girl" in Part 3, a mysterious entity that may or may not be related to her previous role as Ronette.[19][20][21]
