In 1990, the groundbreaking television series Twin Peaks, co-created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, opened with a murder mystery when a beautiful homecoming queen, wrapped in plastic, washed up on a cold and rocky beach. Laura Palmer's character began as a plot device that triggered a small town to face its fractured self. But after three seasons and a film, Laura Palmer is no longer just a plot device. Instead of solely focusing on the murderer, like most traditional storytelling at the time, the audience gets to know the victim, a complex young woman who explores her sexuality and endures incredible abuse. Laura's Ghost: Women Speak About Twin Peaks is an examination of Laura Palmer's legacy on the 30th anniversary of Twin Peaks. Palmer's character was one of the few frank and horrific representations of sexual abuse victims which did not diminish the strength and complexity of the victim. Sheryl Lee, who played Laura Palmer, discusses the challenges of the role and how it has impacted herself as well as women she has met over the years, many of whom are survivors of sexual abuse. The role demanded Lee give all of her vulnerability as an actor to this role. This role is one she cannot escape, one with which she will forever be identified. It's a role that still haunts her today. For many women, this character represents them. Here was a woman who was not just a victim, but who was owning her sexuality as well—a woman coming into her own and discovering her sources of power. This book is a reckoning in which women from the show and community speak about grief, mischief, humor, sexuality, strength, weakness, wickedness, and survival.

Ana de Armas is a Cuban-Spanish actress who has become a rising star in Hollywood over the past few years. She was born and raised in Havana, Cuba, and started acting in Spanish-language films and television shows in her early twenties. In 2015, de Armas made her Hollywood debut in the film Knock Knock, which also starred Keanu Reeves. She then appeared in the critically acclaimed Blade Runner 2049, as well as the crime dramas War Dogs and Hands of Stone. In 2019, de Armas starred in the hit murder mystery film Knives Out, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. She has since landed the highly coveted role of Bond girl Paloma in the upcoming James Bond film No Time to Die, set to be released in 2021. Despite her success in Hollywood, de Armas remains deeply connected to her Cuban and Spanish roots. She frequently speaks of her love for her hometown of Havana, and often returns to visit family and friends. Her heritage also plays a significant role in her career; she has expressed a desire to represent Latinx women on-screen and tackle stories that are important to the Hispanic community. In addition to her acting work, de Armas is also an ambassador for the nonprofit organization Save the Children, which provides aid and support to children in need around the world. In this book we discuss topics such as: Introduction to Ana de Armas: Early life and career, Rise to fame, Impact on Hollywood Ana's Filmography: Role in Blade Runner 2049, Work in War Dogs and Hands of Stone, Career in Spanish cinema Ana's Personal Life: Early relationships, Marriage and divorce with Marc Clotet, Romantic involvement with Ben Affleck Impact on the Film Industry: Representation and diversity in Hollywood, Ana's advocacy for women's rights, Awards and recognition Future and upcoming projects: Upcoming roles, Potential projects, Ana's vision for her career Conclusion: Recap of Ana de Armas' career and impact, Future outlook and Final thoughts on Ana de Armas as a Hollywood actress.
