Kyle MacLachlan memoir release and reflections

Overview

Ahead of the September 29 release of his memoir, ‘Fictional Selves’, actor Kyle MacLachlan has shared reflections on significant personal and professional relationships.

MacLachlan addressed his past romantic history, specifically his breakup with Laura Dern between 1985 and 1989. He noted that his pursuit of co-star Lara Flynn Boyle was ‘not my best moment’ and led to the end of his bond with Dern, though he clarified that the two have since mended their friendship.

Additionally, MacLachlan discussed his long-term creative partnership with director David Lynch, which spanned from ‘Dune’ to ‘Twin Peaks’. He described his role in Lynch’s projects as a ‘submersible’—a guide through unsettling cinematic worlds. MacLachlan also reflected on the ‘tremendous loss’ following Lynch’s death from emphysema in January 2025, characterizing the director as a mentor who offered him creative freedom.
