Laura Harring is mourning the loss of her Mulholland Drive director, David Lynch, who died at age 78.
The actors who worked with Lynch over his prolific career have shared their thoughts, and Harring paid tribute to the late filmmaker in a post on social media.
“Ohh dear David, All artists and humans who came across you, will mourn your passing on, but I know you are creating movies, writing, painting and meditating from up above,” Harring posted on Instagram. “The Heavens welcome your sweet soul into Eternal Bliss. Goodbye, my friend. May you rest in peace, Buddy Dave.”
Harring accompanied her post with a photo of herself and her Mulholland Drive co-star Naomi Watts kissing the director on the cheek at the 54th Cannes Film Festival in May 2001.

Mulholland Drive follows an aspiring actress (Watts) who befriends an amnesiac woman (Harring) after arriving in Los Angeles. Lynch earned the Best Director award for the film at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, which he shared with Joel Coen for The Man Who Wasn’t There. Lynch was also nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Director category.
Harring’s co-star Watts also took to social media to pay tribute to Lynch.
“My heart is broken. My Buddy Dave… The world will not be the same without him. His creative mentorship was truly powerful. He put me on the map. The world I’d been trying to break into for ten plus years, flunking auditions left and right,” Watts wrote on Instagram.
Watts ended her tribute, saying, “I just cannot believe that he’s gone. I’m in pieces but forever grateful for our friendship. I’m yelling from the bullhorn: Godspeed, Buddy Dave! Thank you for your everything.”
