Trivia
The three paintings visible above Fred and Renee's sofa are by Lynch's ex-wife. The text of the one wherein the woman reads a note from her child is reproduced in a David Foster Wallace essay regarding Lost Highway's production: "Dear Mom I keep having my fish dream. They bite my face! Tell dad I dont take naps. The fishes are skinny an mad I miss you. His wife makes me eat trouts and anchovys The fishes make nosis they blow bubbels. How are you [unreadable] you fine? don't forget to lock the doors the fishes [unreadable] me they hate me. Love form DANA" See more »Quotes
