Overview

Julee Cruise (December 1, 1956 – June 9, 2022) was an American singer, songwriter, actress, and musician, best known for her collaborations with composer Angelo Badalamenti and film director David Lynch in the late 1980s and early 1990s. She released four albums and collaborated with a variety of other artists.

Cruise was known for her song "Falling", the theme song for the television series Twin Peaks.
