The "Blue Velvet" star and former romantic partner of the visionary director posted a sweet photo of the pair on social media.
Isabella Rossellini shared a simple and touching message following the death of director David Lynch, her former colleague and romantic partner.
“I loved him so much,” the Italian actor wrote in an Instagram post on Friday, alongside a photo of the pair posing for the camera while holding hands.
She continued by thanking the public “for all your kind messages.”
Lynch’s death was announced by his family on Wednesday. Months earlier, the “Twin Peaks” director had revealed he had been diagnosed with emphysema.
He and Rossellini met when Lynch was casting the 1987 neo-noir film “Blue Velvet.” Rossellini went on to star in the film, and the two of them began a romantic relationship that lasted about five years. She also appeared in Lynch’s 1990 crime romance “Wild At Heart.”
