Pamela Gidley Dies, Twin Peaks Star Was 52

Pamela Gidley, a veteran actress best known for her role in the Twin Peaks prequel Fire Walk With Me, died at her New Hampshire home in April 16.

She was 52 years old.

Gidley’s passing was announced Sunday in an obituary, which is why the news has only just gone viral now, about two weeks after she left us.

The newspaper article notes that Gidley “died peacefully in her home, on Monday, April 16, 2018 in Seabrook.”

The cause of death was not immediately made clear.

Gidley started her career in 1986, starring in Thrashin’ alongside Josh Brolin and Robert Rusler.

The former actor took to Instagram to mourn the actress yesterday, writing online;

“My co-star in Thrashin and my girlfriend twice in a lifetime. Amazing and innocent memories of her: a spitfire, and a truly funny person she was. I remember is being in bed (I was 17) and hearing the radio come on saying that the Challenger had just exploded

“These milestones in your life: amazing people to grace us with their spirit, their presence. She will have forever affected mine.

“Thank you for the gift of you, Pam. Rest In Peace beautiful girl.”

In addition to Fire Walk With Me and Thrashin’, Gidley also starred in Angel Street – both the series and the television movie.

Some folks out there might recognize her from Highway to Hell, Strange Luck and The Pretender.

Her last role was playing Teresa Banks once again in Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces, released in 2014.

On TV, meanwhile, Gidley made guest-starring appearances in such shows as MacGyver, The Pretender, Tour of Duty, CSI and The Closer.

Per her obituary:

Besides her mother, Phyllis M. Gidley of Hampton, Gidley is survived by her brothers, Glenn Gidley of Salem, N.H., Daniel Gidley and his wife Darlene of Hampton, and Brian Gidley of Haverhill, Mass., nephews and nieces, Adam, Keegan, Erica and Alexis Gidley.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105 or NH SPCA, PO Box 196, Stratham, NH 03885.

The family says all funeral arrangements will be kept private.

May Pamela Gidley rest in peace.

Jeremy Lindholm, Twin Peaks Actor, Arrested for Attempted Murder

Jeremy Lindholm, a veteran movie and television actor who most recently appeared on an episode of Twin Peaks, was arrested on Thursday on charges of attempted second degree murder.

He is accused of trying to kill his girlfriend.

According to a press release from the Spokane, Washington Police Department, authorities responded to a call from a local business around 5:40 p.m. on Wednesday evening regarding an alleged assault.

The person on the other end of the line said that an individual (later identified as Lindholm) was violently assaulting a woman with a baseball bat.

When cops arrived at the scene, Lindholm was spotted trying to run out the back of the establishment… with the bat still in his hand.

He “quickly gave up” when officers confronted him in the alley, per the release, and was then taken into custody.

Surveillance footage of the incident from inside the unnamed business captures what the official statement describes as an “extremely violent assault perpetrated by Lindholm.”

TMZ writes that the victim’s life was believed to have been in danger, based on statements from witnesses and based on the aforementioned footage.

The video apparently depicts Lindholm striking his girlfriend on the head and body with the bat, over a dozen times.

He’s also seen choking her and allegedly saying he wants to kill her.

“There was information suggesting the intent of [Lindholm] was to kill the victim,” according to the release.

Officers proceeded to book the 41-year old actor into Spokane County Jail on multiple charges:

Attempted murder second degree, second degree assault and several others, including assault of the victim’s friend.

He is being held on $ 100,000 bond.

The victim received serious, yet non life-threatening injuries, and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital.

Lindholm appeared in just one scene of the Twin Peaks revival on Showtime this summer. His other credits include Memoir of a Cannibal, Game of Cards and The Absent.

“MAM represents Jeremy Lindholm. We have worked with him on bookings for television, film, and commercial projects. We are stunned at the news of his arrest,” Lindholm’s talent agent, Anne Lillian Mitchell, said in a statement to People Magazine.

She concluded:

“Our interaction with him has always been consistently professional. We will monitor the trial. Our thoughts are with all involved and their families.”

Alex Trebek Spits Drake"s "Jumpman," Canadian Hip Hop Peaks

Alex Trebek might be the realest G in the world of syndicated television.

For years, he’s defended his turf from mark-ass tricks like Pat Sajak, Thursday night football broadcasts, and whatever f–kboy tried to jack his audience by inventing pub trivia.

Now, Trebek is sending a message to anyone who doubts his street cred by spittin’ bars from his fellow Canadian Mr. Aubrey Drake Graham:

Alex Trebek: “Jumpman” Rap

Yes, Trebek’s version is at once more Canadian and more gangsta that Drake’s.

Hopefully, Drizzy is working on a Sean Connery-sampling diss track at this very moment.

Drake vs. Trebek is a feud we need in out lives.

Of course, like having your song parodied by Weird Al, having your rhymes recited in the form of an answer by Al Trizzy has become something of an honor in the music industry.

In the past couple years, we’ve seen Trebek sing Rihanna.

We’ve seen him croon the lyrics to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song.

We’ve even watched with glee as he rapped an entire category, whilst giving shoutouts to fellow OGs, such as Dr. Dre.

Through it all, Trebek never even came close to dropping his news anchor-esque swag, which is one of the reasons he remains a broadcasting legend.

Sadly, Drake has yet to give props to his fellow neighbor to the north for making his 2015 sneaker ode fresh again.

Some cats just can’t handle being upstaged.

Of course, this isn’t the first time another artist has put their own spin on “Jumpman.”

You may remember this self-deprecating Taylor Swift Apple commercial:

Taylor Swift Raps, Falls on Her Face in Apple Ad

These days, of course, it’s being rumored that Swift and Drake are dating.

So maybe Aubrey really considers imitation to be the sincerest form of flattery.

Perhaps instead of a diss track, he’s working on a Trebek tribute album.

We imagine it’ll be titled Views (From Behind the Podium) and feature the sure-to-be hit single “Started From the Bottom (Of the Category Because I’m Looking for the Daily Double)”.

Maybe he’ll follow that up with “Just Hold On (We’re Going to Final Jeopardy)”.

Okay, we’re officially out of Drake-Jeopardy jokes.

For now…

Catherine Coulson Dies; Twin Peaks Actress Was 71

Catherine Coulson – the actress best known as the eccentric “Log Lady” on the beloved early ’90s television series Twin Peaks – has passed away at the age of 71.

Coulson, who had been set to reprise her most famous role in the upcoming Showtime version of Twin Peaks, had reportedly been battling cancer for several years.

A longtime friend of iconic director David Lynch, Coulson’s film career began when she was hired as an assistant on his first feature-length film, Eraserhead.

Lynch says he wrote the part of the Log Lady specifically for Coulson. The director issued a heartfelt statement just moments after news of  her death went public:

“Today I lost one of my dearest friends, Catherine Coulson. Catherine was solid gold. She was always there for her friends — she was filled with love for all people — for her family — for her work.  She was a tireless worker. She had a great sense of humor — she loved to laugh and make people laugh. She was a spiritual person — a longtime TM meditator. She was the Log Lady.”

Primarily a theatre actor, Coulson will be remembered by many for her tireless work with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Though to millions more, she’ll always be the Log Lady.
