Julee A. Cruise (born December 1, 1956, Creston, Iowa) is 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 has released four

albums and collaborated with a variety of other artists. She is known

for her song "Falling", the theme song for the television series Twin

Peaks. She is married to author and editor Edward Grinnan.Born in

Creston, Iowa, her father was the town dentist.Julee Cruise studied

French horn at Drake University and performed as a singer and actress

in Minneapolis with the famed Children's Theater Company (notably in

the role of Jinjur in stage adaptations of L. Frank Baum's Oz books).

She moved to New York and played Janis Joplin in a revue called

Beehive, while also working with Badalamenti.In 1985, Badalamenti was

composing the score for David Lynch's Blue Velvet, as well as serving

as the vocal coach for the film's star, Isabella Rossellini. A key

scene in Blue Velvet was intended to feature This Mortal Coil's

version of "Song to the Siren" by Tim Buckley, but when the rights to

the song proved prohibitively expensive, it was suggested that

Badalamenti compose a pop song in the same style, with lyrics written

by Lynch. Because the song required a vocalist with a haunting,

ethereal voice, Badalamenti recommended Cruise, who had sung in a New

York theater workshop Badalamenti had produced. The result of their

initial collaboration was "Mysteries of Love", which figures

prominently in Blue Velvet's closing scenes and gained a cult

following.
