I didn’t particularly appreciate the random burlesque performer’s opinion piece but there is never a perfect anthology, also i really didn’t need information on random people’s careers for 75 pages. However, You can truly see in her essays how much Sheryl Lee cares about her portrayal of Laura i could read a whole book of her thoughts. The essays of other women talking about Laura did have me sobbing The second half was perfect, i carry laura palmer with me always. “Northern Star”  is something i need people to read before talking about Laura Palmer.

“When Carrie Page emits that iconic scream at the end of Season 3, Sheryl Lee said, she traveled back in her mind to Laura’s experience and the possibility of the nightmare happening again. She said she imagined what women go through: “There are still women who need to scream who are not allowed to scream. The statistics [regarding violence against women] are going up, not down. That is the scream.”
