Among the tributes pouring in for acclaimed director David Lynch, who died yesterday, there’s one title even locals may not have known: Alexandrian.
While David Lynch was born in Montana, his family moved to Alexandria when he was 15 and Lynch eventually graduated from Francis C. Hammond High School.
Lynch attended Hammond with Jack Fisk, an acclaimed film producer.
Lynch’s work included films like Mulholland Drive and the TV show Twin Peaks.
During a discussion of potential names to replace street names honoring Confederates, a member of the public suggested David Lynch be added to the list, though he was still living at the time and wasn’t included.
Lynch was 78 when he died.
