Eyes popped and jaws dropped when Showtime dropped the fresh blood revealing Twin Peaks teaser yesterday.
New cast members like Madeline Zima and Ben Rosenfield weren’t difficult to recognize, but one creepy apparition that took a while to identify was the old lady with the scrunched up face. Probably because she is NOT part of the official Twin Peaks cast list published last year. So who knows who else we’re going to see?
And no, Damon Lindelof. It is not Laura Dern with heavy makeup.

Now, Kathleen Deming is her name, and it is night. Don’t go any further with it. But if you do… you’ll discover videos like this.
David Lynch sure knows how to pick ’em!
Kathleen —no known relationship to Twin Peaks DoP, Peter Deming— is a professional actor born in Maine who recorded the above clip as her audition for Seekae’s 2016 “Turbine Blue” video. What her role in the new Twin Peaks will be is yet unknown, but feel free to speculate in the comments.
UPDATE: Kathleen plays a character name Buella in Part 1.
Fire walk with 
Here I thought perhaps David Duchovny hadn’t aged very well…
This is Beaula…I’m aging just fine…
So there ARE people in the show that aren’t in the cast list.
Fantastic news. More wonderful surprises in store!
Unknowns, sure. I still don’t buy that there are big surprises like Ontkean or Bowie in store.
I’m keeping an eye out for Fumio Yamaguchi… 🙂
OK, I’m thinking she’s either a Lodge denizen or the new madam at One Eyed Jack’s..
This is Beaula. I’m watching you.
Definitely not Lindelof’s first mistake.
This is Beaula…
I think, she is the daughter of Carl Rodd and Ingrid Brucato.
We will discover, that Kathleen Deming plays the stepmother of Laura Palmers secret son, played by Ben Rosenfield, who was raised in the trailerpark of Dear Meadows.
Happy Family!
Oooh, that would be good, especially if BOB visits him in the form of his grandfather Leland.
This is Beaula. You know too much…too little…
This is Beaula. You know too much…too little…
As soon as I first saw her in that trailer, I thought to myself: “That’s Twin Peaks! She’s got Twin Peaks written all over her.”
She and the lady with the small Mexican chihuahua both gave me that feeling. Hell, the entire new cast in that trailer didn’t feel out of place.
This is Beaula. Hug Eric…
And btw, she reminds me a bit of some of the trolls/goblins from The Dark Crystal.
This is Beaula. I do live under the bridges. Beware.
Sorry, but I am not buying this. All of a sudden this woman has a filmography with only two films in the past two years? This is an elaborate hoax! It’s Laura Dern!
Haha. This is Beaula Jack Kornfield. So I’m mysterious…Where do you live?
This is the girl. This is BOB.
This is Beaula. You know too much. BOB.
If Laura Dern was a witch, that would be her aspect. 100% Lynchian face. Is he who find them or they who found him?
Ahh. We find each other Luc.
The mystery woman. A haggard woman who was once a thriving young girl who sent a man a letter. The monkey whispered her name in the black space where the red curtains sway, but this was just a passing mention.
Fun fact: Cary Grant never said “Judy, Judy, Judy” in any of his films.
This is Beaula. How do you know my life…
She will be ‘The Old Woman’ Mrs Chalfont (etc.) who accompanies the ‘grandson’ for this series.
This is Beaula. I’ll accompany you for the Series..
Bob
