[@dansiepman9531]

she seems so kind and genuine. Like--like she doesn't care about the dark movie she was part of, no...she truly seems to embody a feeling of wholesome togetherness. This is amazing.

[@crackeduptv8815]

I'm surprised that she did not do any more roles in movies.

[@cirquedude123]

CrackedUpTv she didn’t? 😟

[@charleseternal1751]

What???

[@Karmen2010]

I like her but I find her smile really creepy

Want this at my funeral, my family would never get it but then again they never did.

[@crepituss9381]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@ytsucksnowwiththisrealname1096]

There's still time

[@steelecinema]

She's so beautiful.

[@Velo1010]

Steele Cinema I was taken back how attractive she is. Was hard to tell when she was in character during her role.

[@charlie5thumbs351]

Agreed. Glad I got to see her without the chops.

[@unsinnkim3690]

fun fact: it's actually not her voice we hear in the movie, but the voice of Peter Ivers who composed the song.

[@foxella13]

I didn't believe you. But I came to research this, it explains why she didn't sound the same LOL

[@unsinnkim3690]

@@foxella13 isn't life just full of surprises?!

[@bhavyakukkar]

Actually I think it's David Lynch's voice pitched up because the same voice appears on both of Lynch's albums

[@unsinnkim3690]

@@bhavyakukkar It isn't, because Lynch wrote about it in "room to dream".

[@Filmdude0]

The southern accent is missing.

[@ThePerradox]

Nice to hear her sing it in her own voice

[@injusticeanywherethreatens4810]

This song *NEEDS* the organ. She did a great job though.

[@cirquedude123]

Injustice Anywhere Threatens Justice Everywhere I completely agree

[@tuttt99]

That and the puffy cheeks

[@lyleliliwort8489]

indeed...the organ made the song....tbh

[@scottcharney1091]

Today I learned that she didn't sing it in the film. The voice is that of Peter Ivers!

[@joesantamaria5874]

She’s still beautiful. So sweet.

[@victorianmadonna]

Beautiful lady and beautiful song about Heaven

🌟LuckyStar⭐ Its about suicide this is an ode to the victims, so i read

[@luke-is3ry]

Absolutely love this!!

[@1ShadyGrady1]

This is amazing

[@davidandcookie7648]

I like that she had essentially half of the "costume", leaving out those puffy Cheeks, but I do wish they had the organ "pastoral chord" at the end.

[@robinanlauf9450]

Oh my goodness that was so amazing to see. Thanks for sharing ♡

[@blakelycreative3171]

True story..I took a friend to a midnight showing in the 70's. I had already seen it so I know what was coming. He got progressively pissed off as the movie played and at the end he turned towards me and said, "what the fuck was all that about"?..ha ha

[@avastmehearties1450]

this is fucking amazing

[@LichenAndMoss]

THIS is why I love the internet.

[@dddsabong]

[@MUSQUIZanimation]

Watch us mosh pit to this performance.

[@ronvonryan]

The only bit in the film (movie) I understood.

[@saifuppal7403]

even though she didn't sing it, it was david lynch and someone else, it still sounds good!

[@MeHomer]

Ofcourse she did fool. Why have an older woman do this? I knew Peter Ivers. He wrote it.

[@TenementFunster.74]

i need to go to this annual get together

[@Tadesan]

Wow!

[@briansmith5895]

a brilliant movie. i own it. lol.

[@dadiuk76]

She didn't sing in the film, it was Peter Ivers.

[@crackeduptv8815]

+DADI UK I'm kind oh glad she didn't the other voice was fit right for the charcter

[@ilikezelda64]

Huh, I always assumed it was Lynch himself. Cool!

[@Powertuber1000]

The film sounds like a female voice.

[@larryslemp9698]

DADI UK......yeah man....and how bizarre is that?!

[@electronicgenerator]

いいですね

[@omegamale7880]

She used to have a southern accent.

[@hiphopblows9490]

What if everything is NOT FINE ?? Asking for a friend

[@FirstnameLastname-nd9wx]

that would certainly be a bruh moment

[@rainblaze.]

I dont think you need worry

She kinda looks like Lynch 😂

[@crixxxxxxxxx]

Glad she got those goiters taken care of

[@jameskenney9192]

Has she ever appeared publicly out of character?

[@oddyses3]

The only missing thing is she doesn't have her cute accent as same as the original version.

[@theslendergamer1006]

When she was young she looked scary
