David Lynch‘s daughter, Jennifer Lynch, recently took to social media to share a photo of the late filmmaker’s gravestone. The Boxing Helena and Jessica Jones director also urged fans to visit if they were able to.
What did David Lynch’s daughter say about the gravesite?
In a new photo shared by Jennifer Lynch, David’s gravestone can be seen at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. On it reads the message “Night Blooming Jasmine,” a reference to an interview Lynch gave in 2016 when he talked about traveling throughout Los Angeles, and being able to smell the jasmines as they bloom at night.
“When you fly into LA at night, it’s all lit up, miles and miles of lights – so beautiful,” said Lynch to AnOther Magazine. “It’s a very fast image. But within it there are these places that talk about memory.”
“You know, on a summer’s night, maybe more like a spring night, you could drive to certain places and if you smell that night-blooming jasmine, you can almost see Clark Gable or Gloria Swanson. The golden age of Hollywood is still living in some moods here, in the DNA of the city.”
In the caption on Instagram, Jennifer Lynch also told fans they were free to visit when they were able to, as she would also be doing so.
