Catherine E. Coulson (born October 22, 1943) is an American stage and screen actress who worked behind the scenes on various studio features, magazine shows and independent films as well as acting in theater and film since the age of 15. She is best known for her role as Margaret Lanterman, the enigmatic Log Lady, in the David Lynch TV series Twin Peaks.Coulson met Lynch in the 1970s and performed various behind the scenes functions during the four-year filming of his low-budget classic Eraserhead (1977). Lynch reports that she began meditating at the same time as him during this period. She also appeared in Lynch's short film The Amputee (1974), in which she played a woman with no legs. During the filming of Eraserhead, Lynch told Coulson that he had an image in his head of her holding a large log. Fifteen years later, he created such a role for her in Twin Peaks, on which she guest starred for 12 episodes through seasons 1 and 2. Coulson went on to reprise her role in the film prequel, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, and in "Dual Spires" (2010), an episode of Psych.Coulson was married to actor Jack Nance (who played Henry Spencer in Eraserhead, and Pete Martell in the Twin Peaks saga) in 1968; they divorced in 1976. Coulson is now primarily a theatre actor and has worked with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon for the last two decades where she continues to be part of the acting company. She appears in Calvin Marshall directed by Gary Lundgren. Lundgren was a fan of Twin Peaks, and created a short version while at First Baptist San Mateo in the early 1990s. She recently played Susie for Lundgren in "Redwood Highway" with Shirley Knight and, Tom Skerritt and James LeGros. She is in the second season of PORTLANDIA.

1I spent a lot of time in Disneyland as a kid...I think it warped me for life.
#Fact
1Coulson's Twin Peaks story began in the '70s, when she spent about four years working on David Lynch's directorial debut Eraserhead. Officially, Coulson is credited as the movie's assistant director. She also worked as a waitress and donated her income to the movie's perpetually vanishing budget. And she was married to Eraserhead star Jack Nance.
2She is a monastic figure, but Coulson plays her with a fussy drollness. There's a great scene in the second episode of Twin Peaks, when she tells Cooper about the evening of Laura Palmer's death. "My log saw something that night," she says. Cooper: "What did it see?" Log Lady: "Ask it." Cooper has no idea what do to. The Log Lady says, simply: "I thought so," and walks away. The Log Lady became a cult figure, partially because it's hard to say how important she actually was to the show. She doesn't do very much, but she seems to know everything: In Lynch's cosmology, this might make her God, the Devil, or something more powerful. In a recent interview, Coulson described the Log Lady as "the only sane person in Twin Peaks." That sounds right, too.
3Her second husband, Marc Sirinsky, with whom she had a daughter, Zoey (born 1987), is a rabbi, at one point resident at Temple Emek-Shalom in Ashland, Oregon.
4She was one of the first women on camera crews in Los Angeles.
5Her mother was a ballet dancer and vaudevillian; her father, a producer and PR executive. Her family was featured on a radio show called "Breakfast with the Coulsons".
6Has been performing at the prestigious Oregon Shakespeare Festival for the past 8 years. Was last seen in the plays Handler and Winter's Tale. [August 2002]
7Though divorced from actor Jack Nance in 1976, she worked with him again on the Twin Peaks (1990) series in the 90s.
8Forever identified as the log-carrying lady on the cult Twin Peaks (1990) series.
