In a continuing look at black and white publicity photos created for Twin Peaks in 1990, this image features Peggy Lipton as Norma Jennings. These series of portraits were released by Capital Cities / ABC Television to help viewers keep track of the many characters in Mark Frost and David Lynch’s groundbreaking series.
It had been forty years since I had had a first day at a restaurant. In 1986, my mother dropped me off at Arby’s and said she would be back to pick me up in three hours. In 2026, I was walking to Twede’s Cafe, with mountain ranges to my left and right, as I…
Modern technology has helped me identify props used in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks for years. I can’t imagine finding things as easily in the early 1990s when all I had were VHS cassettes and no access to the internet. Despite the technical marvels of today, I still rely on what’s available online…
Special Agent Dale Cooper and Audrey Horne had a unique relationship during the first half of Twin Peaks. Naturally, they were the subject of several publicity photos captured during summer 1989 by the late ABC Television photographer Craig Sjodin.

It’s such a thrill discovering another Missing Piece from David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Thanks to an Instagram post from Executive Producer Sabrina Sutherland, we now know what Sarah Palmer wore during a scene they filmed at the Double R Diner.
With the passage of time, my fascination of how Mark Frost, David Lynch and the entire Twin Peaks crew created the show continues growing. I love understanding how exactly the show was assembled. Thanks to a production memo from a DVD extra, we learn which “insert shots” were captured on November 20, 1989 during production…
