Phoebe Ellen Ceresia (born April 1, 1967), known professionally as Phoebe Augustine, is an American actress known for playing Ronette Pulaski in Twin Peaks.[1][2]
She portrayed Laura Palmer's[2] friend Ronette Pulaski[3][4] in several episodes of the original 1990 series Twin Peaks.[1][5] The pilot episode featured a scene of her walking across train tracks. The image was used widely for promotional and marketing purposes, including on the VHS cover of the original pilot, which was released as a film in Europe.[6] She reprised her role in the 1992 prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.[7][8][9][10]
Other roles include the film Plain Clothes (1987) and two notable short-lived sitcoms from the early 1990s: The Elvira Show[11] and Frannie's Turn.[12][13][14] Around the same time, she also appeared in the TV drama film Black Widow Murders: The Blanche Taylor Moore Story.[15] She was a musician/singer in the band "Cling".[14][16][17]
After a break of many years, she returned to acting in 2017, working again with David Lynch on the Twin Peaks revival, Twin Peaks: The Return, playing "American Girl" in Part 3, a mysterious entity that may or may not be related to her previous role as Ronette.[18][19][20]
