passage from “room to dream” where lynch remembers kissing elizabeth taylor, opposite a production still from twin peaks in which he crouches over heather graham & kyle maclachlan for the chapter “wrapped in plastic” text: "David, I know you know my father," because I met John Huston in Mexico. I had an art show in Puerto Vallarta and John Huston came….. Anyhow, Anjelica says, "My father's in the other room; why don't you go and say hello." I say, "Y'd love to," so I open up the door to this private room and there's John, and at the table with him are George Hamilton and Elizabeth Taylor. I love Elizabeth Taylor and A Place in the Sun so much. That kiss she has with Monty Clift? That's one of the best-filmed kisses ever. Grace Kelly moving in on Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window is a great filmed kiss, too. Elizabeth Taylor presented the best director award that night, and there we are in that back room and she said, "I love Blue Velvet," and my heart is going. I was surprised she saw it and loved it. I told her, "I wish I'd won, because when you presented the award to Oliver Stone he got to kiss you," and she said, "Come here." So I go over and she's sitting down and I'm standing, and there's Elizabeth Taylor's face right there and I lean down and I see these violet eyes and this face and I go down on these lips and I keep going down, her lips are miles deep. So incred-ible. I kissed her and it was so fantastic, then we talked a little bit with John Huston and I left. I kissed her another time at Cannes. I was sitting at her table and I reminded her that I got to kiss her at Spago and asked her if I could kiss her again. I was there with Mary Sweeney, and Elizabeth called my room later and wanted to know if I was married. She liked to marry people and got married like seven or eight times, but I didn't want to marry Elizabeth Taylor. I also kissed her at this amAR event, then I went to lunch with her and she told me stories. That was the last time I saw her.
