Your Twin Peaks fun fact of the day
Day #3
During the first episodes of the second season the viewers are introduced to Mr. Tojamura, a businessman, who is later revealed to be Catherine Martell in costume.
What is curious is that not even the cast and crew knew that it was Piper Laurie, who played Catherine, under all that heavy make up.
When Lynch told Laurie about what he wanted to do with Catherine's character he told her they would take her name off the credits, so that everyone thought she had died at the fire in the sawmill. But he told her that she was going to come back but in disguise, and that's when Mr. Tojamura was created.
Laurie wasn't allowed to tell anyone about it, not even the guest directors or her family. Very few people knew, one of them being Paula Shimatsu, Mark Frost's assistant. She dealt with the press and released a bio about the new cast member named Fumio Yamaguchi. A star who primarily worked with Kurosawa.
On set she acted as a strange foreigner actor and spoke in fake Japanese, that Shimatsu's brother who knew what was going on and played Mr. Tojamura's assistant on the show, "translated" for her things such as: "This is not how Kurosawa works!"
The other actors on set were a bit intimidated by "Fumio" and thought he was a weird actor. But after a few days on set they realized something was up, as they could see he was wearing lots of makeup. They never said anything to "Fumio". Peggy Lipton, who played Norma Jennings, thought it was Isabella Rosellini in costume. Jack Nance, who played Pete Martell, and had a fair share of scenes with Mr. Tojamura didn't know it was Laurie until weeks later when he read the reveal in the script.

I don't quite get Josie, Pete, and Catherine's deal in this show. Like it seems like they're all living together? and this was Andrew's house before he died and left Josie everything, so it makes sense that she lives here. But Catherine also does, and she was Andrew's sister (i think)? and Pete? Are Catherine and Pete married? but they seem to just super hate each other. And why would Josie and her sister in law live together anyways? Maybe I misses like 2 sentences that would un-confound everything

As gross as the parallel is, it's interesting that GRRM has Quentyn hear false rumors of Dany that vilify her for promiscuity in a similar way that their shared ancestor, Meria was vilified by her enemies:
The more Quentyn heard of Daenerys Targaryen, the more he feared that meeting. The Yunkai'i claimed that she fed her dragons on human flesh and bathed in the blood of virgins to keep her skin smooth and supple. Beans laughed at that but relished the tales of the silver queen's promiscuity. "One of her captains comes of a line where the men have foot-long members," he told them, "but even he's not big enough for her. She rode with the Dothraki and grew accustomed to being fucked by stallions, so now no man can fill her." -- Quentyn II, ADWD
---
Age and ill health finally did what dragons and armies could not. In 13 AC, Meria Martell, the Yellow Toad of Dorne, died abed (whilst having intimate relations with a stallion, her enemies insisted). -- Fire and Blood
Both Dany and Meria are/were powerful women ruling in their own right whose enemies fabricated falsehoods about them and tried to depict them as sexually depraved since they couldn't defeat them. This is clearly an intentional parallel not only between Dany and her ancestor but between both of them and Catherine the Great who was also sexualized by her enemies, who couldn't defeat her. She, too, was said to be participating in beastiality with a horse when she died, which was false.
Through Dany and Meria, GRRM is showing how women in positions of power are vilified by misogynists who want to uphold the status quo.

Huh.... Meria Martell whose lords gang raped and enslaved women at their wedding ???
I’m not an expert on Dornish history, and am only about 70% through Fire & Blood. That being said, the chapters about Meria Martell’s resistance to Aegon the Conquerer start pretty early in the book and I don’t remember any passages about Dornish houses raping and enslaving women at their weddings (though it would be fitting w/ Westerosi culture at large). Care to elaborate or point to the specific pages/passages?
Even if it is true, it wouldn’t negate the fact that her supposed intercourse with a horse is a parallel to the same rumors being spread about Catherine the Great during her rule of Russia, as a way to undermine the rule of a female monarch. Female rulers in general (whether you consider them ‘good’ guys or ‘bad’ guys) are prone to being excessively scrutinized for their sexuality in ways male rulers are not, and that includes false and defamatory rumors being spread to inhibit their power
