Although this will be the first official gathering for the filmmaker, fans flocked to Bob’s Big Boy restaurant after news broke of Lynch’s death. The classic diner in L.A.’s Toluca Lake neighborhood became an inseparable part of Lynch’s lore after the “Twin Peaks” director revealed he ate there “for seven years every day at 2:30” and took notes on the napkins.
Lynch revealed in 2024 that he had been diagnosed with emphysema after a lifetime of smoking and that he would be unable to direct or leave his house again. His family announced his death on Thursday in a Facebook post writing, “There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”
