Jennifer Chambers Lynch (born April 7, 1968) is an American film director and screenwriter, best known for writing the book "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" and for writing and directing the 1993 feature film "Boxing Helena".

Lynch was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the daughter of artist and filmmaker David Lynch and painter [http://www.peggyreavey.com Peggy Reavey] . At the age of three, Lynch appeared in her father's "Eraserhead".

Lynch was educated in Los Angeles and Michigan (at the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy) and, as a teen, worked as a production assistant on her father's "Blue Velvet" (1986). Already known for her precocious writing ability, she authored "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" to accompany the "Twin Peaks" television show (1990).

Her commissioned screenplay for "Boxing Helena", which she would later go on to direct, attracted top-drawer talent, including Madonna, who withdrew when told by Andrew Lloyd Webber that she wouldn't be allowed to do "Evita" if she went ahead with "Helena". Sherilyn Fenn ultimately played the part of Helena. Kim Basinger was also attached and was famously sued after walking away. The controversy surrounding that case, as well as feminist outcry over "Helena"'s sadistic subject matter and the inevitable accusations of nepotism, undoubtedly contributed to the movie's critical drubbing upon its release in 1993. Also in 1993, she directed the music video "Living in the Rose" by the British rock band New Model Army [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUMjmjwAVs4 YouTube - New Model Army - Living in the rose ] ] .

Afterwards, Lynch retreated from the public eye, but came back into the spotlight with the film "Surveillance". She was recently announced as director of the film "Nagin". [ [http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/12528 BD Horror News - Surveillance Director Transforms Into a Snake Woman ] ]
