A Show of a Different Name
When David Lynch started working on Twin Peaks it went by the name “Northwest Passage.” Josie Packard (played by Joan Chen) also went by a different name — Giovanna “Jo” Pasqualini Packard. That character was originally slated to be played by Isabella Rossellini, she also happened to be dating David Lynch at the time of the casting decision.
The TV show eventually received a new name and a new actress in the role. It does indicate that David Lynch likes to keep the people in his life close to his side during his projects — just as we saw with his daughter’s role in writing a prequel book to the TV series.
