David Lynch, the writer-director whose film and TV work included 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Twin Peaks,' has died.
He was 78.
Lynch's death was announced on his Facebook page.
The post read, "It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch.
We would appreciate some privacy at this time.
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 on the hole.'
It's a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way."
