Isabella Rossellini has spoken out following the death of her former partner and collaborator, David Lynch. Paying tribute to the legendary filmmaker, she said: "loved him so much.”. David, the renowned director behind the surreal TV series Twin Peaks and iconic films such as The Elephant Man, Mulholland Drive, and Blue Velvet, passed away at 78. His death, announced on Thursday, came five months after he revealed his battle with emphysema, a chronic lung condition caused by “many years of smoking.”.
Isabella, an Italian actress and model, had a significant personal and professional relationship with filmmaker David. Professionally, she starred as Dorothy Vallens in David's 1986 film Blue Velvet, a role that marked a turning point in her acting career. Their collaboration extended into a romantic relationship; they were a couple from 1986 to 1991.
On Friday, Isabella took to Instagram to share a heartfelt post. She included a photo of herself with David, who famously gave her a career-defining role in the neo-noir thriller Blue Velvet. The actress, who also worked with David on Wild At Heart, wrote: “I loved him so much. Thanks for all your kind messages.”.
David died after being "forced to relocate from his house" amid the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, reports claim. David had been battling emphysema, which he disclosed last year, and in November, he shared that he required supplemental oxygen for walking. A source told Deadline that David's health deteriorated significantly after the Sunset Fire forced him out of his home.
