Frances Bay, best known for her little old lady roles in David Lynch’s films, Happy Gilmore , and countless TV episodes, died Friday Bay dies at 92; veteran character actress at age 92.

Recently she made guest appearances as silent Aunt Ginny on ABC’ s The Middle . Let’s watch Ben Stiller terrorize her after the jump.
When he’s not giving weather reports, bemoaning the debt crisis , and directing Duran Duran concerts , David Lynch is making music. Oh, and the occasional movie.

On Monday it was announced David Lynch will direct Duran Duran’s live-streaming concert on March 23, which led to a collective, “Wait, what?” across the Internet. Lynch — known for cerebral movies like Blue Velvet and this-makes-no-sense-to-any-rational-human-being movies like Mulholland Drive — may not seem like the go-to point man for an ’80s new wave pop group like Duran Duran. Then again, you may have forgotten just how well orchestrated and bizarre some of Duran Duran’s videos actually are. (Remember, this is a band that got their name from the Jane Fonda movie, Barbarella .) In preparation for whatever Lynch’s version of a Duran Duran concert is going to look like (here’s hoping that it takes a series of 10 clues to interpret), let’s take a refresher course on five Duran Duran videos that already look like they were directed by David Lynch.
The Maysles Brothers and the Rolling Stones. Martin Scorsese and the Band. Jonathan Demme and Talking Heads. Davis Guggenheim and Justin Bieber .

So, what would happen if Michele ever got the opportunity to meet Streisand out in public? Some hyperventilating and tweeting, of course.
