Naomi Watts Reflects on Career-Saving Role with Late Director David Lynch

The actress credits Lynch's casting in 'Mulholland Drive' for reviving her Hollywood aspirations after years of struggle.

Naomi Watts revealed she nearly abandoned her acting career after a decade of failed auditions in the 1990s.
Her breakthrough came in 2001 when David Lynch cast her in the critically acclaimed film 'Mulholland Drive.'
Watts described Lynch as a mentor and credited him for helping her overcome self-doubt and unlocking her potential.
The director, who passed away last week at 78, had publicly shared his battle with a lung condition last summer.
Watts and Lynch collaborated on several projects, including the series 'Twin Peaks' in 2017, and she expressed deep gratitude for his impact on her life and career.
