I was watching the movie "Sunset Boulevard" the other day. In this flick
there is a minor character named... Gordon Cole. He works for Paramount 
Studios in the Props Department (I think). 

Seems likely that David Lynch cribbed his name for his Twin Peaks 
character, especially since "Sunset Boulevard" is an off-the-wall, but 
classic, movie Lynch probably has seen. 

Did I drink too much cough syrup in my youth or has anyone suspected this?
