“With Patricia you get no freak-outs, no whining. As a person and as a friend, she is solid gold.” —David Lynch on Patricia Norris

Working as a production and costume designer on the Twin Peaks pilot, Patricia Norris dressed everyone from Audrey Horne to the Man from Another Place (the dream sequence was shot as part of the pilot production). Even though she couldn’t commit to a television series and wasn’t involved again until Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, she set the tone and the look for the entire Twin Peaks universe. Her exceptional work was rewarded in 1990 with an Emmy Award for Outstanding Costume Design for a Series.
