Julee Cruise, musician. You probably recognize the name from “Twin Peaks”:

Cruise’s best-known work is her single “Falling,” whose instrumental version written by composer Angelo Badalamenti, served as the theme song for Lynch’s belovedly weird 1990 Twin Peaks TV series, later winning a Grammy for best pop instrumental. The singer with the haunting voice also had cameos as a roadhouse crooner in the series and the 1992 spinoff movie, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me; she sang the closing credits on an episode of the 2017 Showtime TV reboot, Twin Peaks: the Return.

She also toured with the B-52s (“from 1992-1999 as a fill-in for member Cindy Wilson“).
