Twin Peaks’ Kyle MacLachlan Remembers the ‘Incredible Force’ That Was Piper Laurie
In the wake of Piper Laurie’s death over the weekend, Kyle MacLachlan is remembering his Twin Peaks co-star’s “caring presence” and “vivacious energy.”
“It’s never easy losing a member of the Twin Peaks family, and the passing of Piper Laurie is no different,” the actor behind Agent Dale Cooper shared on Instagram Tuesday. “She was such a caring presence [and] incredible force on screen. The vivacious energy she brought to Catherine [Martell] will live on forever. Sending love to her family, friends, [and] fans.”

MacLachlan appeared opposite Laurie in Twin Peaks‘ first two seasons on ABC in the early 90s. They both received back-to-back Emmy nominations for their work in the David Lynch classic.
Laurie — who died on Saturday at the age of 91 — was also nominated for three Oscars during her storied career, one for Lead Actress (1961’s The Hustler opposite Paul Newman) and two for Supporting Actress (first for playing the mother of Sissy Spacek’s titular character in the 1976 horror flick Carrie, and then for her role as the mother of Marlee Matlin’s character in 1977’s Children of a Lesser God.)
In addition to Twin Peaks, her TV credits include The Twilight Zone, St. Elsewhere, The Thorn Birds, Law & Order: SVU and, more recently, a Season 2 episode of CBS’ MacGyver reboot.
