The film world received sad news on Thursday, January 16, when it was announced that David Lynch, the four-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker, had passed away at the age of 78.
In a Facebook post, Lynch’s family announced his passing, saying that “There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not the hole.'” A cause of death was not shared in the post, but in 2024 Lynch announced that he had been diagnosed with emphysema.
