“It’s never easy losing a member of the Twin Peaks family, & the passing of #PiperLaurie is no different,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “She was such a caring presence & incredible force on screen. The vivacious energy she brought to Catherine will live on forever. Sending love to her family, friends, & fans.”

MacLachlan shared a photo that featured himself alongside Laurie, Joan Chen and Michael Ontkean.

Laurie starred as Catherine Martell in the David Lynch and Mark Frost series in all the episodes from the original run. For her role in the series, she was nominated for the Golden Globe in the Best Supporting Actress category in 1990. That same year, Laurie earned a nomination at the Primetime Emmys in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category.

After Twin Peaks Season 2, Laurie would once again score an Emmys nom in 1991, but this time in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. Later that year, Laurie was also nominated for her role in the drama series at the Soap Opera Digest Awards.
