Few people know that the basis of the series "Twin Peaks" was the story of Marilyn Monroe herself. The director and screenwriter originally planned to film the biography of the famous blonde. True, in the end, the plot has changed beyond recognition. A well-known television channel called ABC decided to sign a contract for showing the Twin Peaks series, which went beyond the usual projects of the late 80s and early 90s.
The plot of the movie "Twin Peaks"
What explains the phenomenal popularity of the series? Mark Frost and David Lynch, directors and screenwriters of the series, twisted a dashing plot that forced viewers to watch it with bated breath and without leaving the screens.
The main storyline of the series is the search for the killer schoolgirl Palmer Laura. The FBI has joined the case. An agent who came to a small town called Twin Peaks, Dale Cooper, is very puzzled. On the one hand, there is a quiet and calm town in front of him, inside which secrets, mysticism, and intrigue lie. Dale undertook to investigate the matter, revealing more and more details of the story, but the tangle is becoming more and more confused. Exposing residents in unsightly acts.
Laura’s friends also don’t sit idle - they want to find the killer and avenge their girlfriend, conduct their own investigation. The audience especially fell in love with Donna Hayward. She is Laura's best friend and most of all wanted to get to the bottom of the truth.
The heroine of the series - Donna Hayward
This is a pretty bright role. Against the background of her friends - the rebels of Audrey and the typical school queen Laura, Donna Hayward seems the most correct, straightforward and sincere. Such features, coupled with excessive caution, made her the darling of the audience.
As teenagers, Laura and Donna met guys from Canada. Donna fell in love with one of them. On the same day, the girls tried marijuana. When Dona got the first guy, for several months she and her friend moved away from each other. Then they became friends, as before. It is worth noting that Laura at this time began to lead a fairly free lifestyle, which Donna did not approve of. Hayward became a real sex symbol of the 90s. Girls dreamed of being like her. Photos of Donna Hayward posted in this article. They show that the appearance of the heroine is more than attractive. The question immediately becomes which actress Donna Hayward embodied on the screen.
Lara Flynn Boyle
It was the young Lara Flynn Boyle who played the innocent Donna Hayward. Prior to Twin Peaks, the actress played only in minor episodes, many of which were simply cut out by the directors. Work in the series "Twin Peaks" can be considered a runway. However, some critics say that this is the only outstanding role of Lara. In any case, after the first season, the actress, inspired by success, received many new offers. But nothing could erase the image of Donna Hayward - he is strongly associated with the name of the actress.
Who knows, maybe that’s why Flynn Boyle flatly refused to star in the sequel to the film “Fire, Come with Me”. At that time, she received many other offers. And there were also rumors that on the set the actors at some point stopped getting along with each other and Lara had a conflict with another actress. Over the years, the actress has changed a lot because of frequent plastic surgeries.
Moira Kelly
In the second film, Donna was played by Moira Kelly. Prior to this role, she had several films counting, including “To hell with a dog!”, “Golden Ice”, “Billy Bathgate”, “Love, Lies and Murder”.
It is always more difficult to repeat the success of the first actress, but, according to the audience, Moira coped with this task. She completely got used to the role, without adding anything from her own to Donna's character. Glance, facial expressions - nothing betrays the substitution of the actress.
What is the new season of "Twin Peaks"?
Before the release of the new part of the series, it was curious what will happen in the sequel? It seems that the answer to the question of who killed Laura Palmer is given in the film, but, apparently, for those who did not understand everything to the end, a new season came out. Surrealism of the series comes to the fore: if the logic is traced in the first season, then in the second the story becomes more and more mystical, and the third season is one complete mystery.
David Lynch does not go on about the mass consumer and embarks on experiments. The constant search for answers to the questions of many viewers is really fascinating. In one series, the main character - Dale Cooper, even sets off on an imaginary journey into space. Understanding this phantasmagoria is truly not easy.
The frightening and mysterious place Black Wigwam reappears on the screen, and Cooper pulls into it. It turns out that somehow the agent has a double.
The new season is nostalgic due to some actors from the first film, familiar landscapes, piercing music. Twin Peaks has a lot of fans, and they will certainly like the third part. The phrase of the ghostly Laura "see you in twenty-five years" now seems to be a prediction.
Will Donna Hayward be in the new season?
This is an important issue. For many viewers, Twin Peaks and Donna Hayward are inseparable. Indeed, this character is the key. But, unfortunately, Donna Hayward will not appear in the third part - actress Lara Flynn Boyle refused the role. But the fans should watch it, because there will be many interesting new characters. How much did the film lose due to the absence of Donna Hayward?
Reviews about the film are mixed, so the fact that the heroine does not appear in the third season can be considered good luck. Let the image of Donna remain in a successful and sensational series. The new star cast includes: Jim Belushi, Naomi Watts, Jennifer Jason Lee, Monica Bellucci and many others.
