Ronette Pulaski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronnette Pulaski (portrayed by Phoebe Augustine) is a fictional character on the 1990-1991 primetime ABC series Twin Peaks. She is the daughter of Janek Pulaski, an employee of the Packard Saw Mill. She attended Twin Peaks High School.

She worked at the perfume counter at Horne's Department Store, and at One Eyed Jacks. She was fired from both jobs. She and Laura Palmer were both assaulted by the serial killer BOB at the same time. Palmer was murdered, but Ronnette escaped. She was discovered wandering along train tracks in a trance. As she had crossed state lines, the FBI became involved in the investigation. She lapsed into a coma, emerging only briefly to identify Bob from a drawing.

She appeared only briefly in the series, with few lines of dialogue, but her character proved an integral part of the overall plot; especially as she was with Laura at her end. Her picture, along with that of Leo Johnson's truck, were found in Fleshworld (fictional swingers magazine) by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, and Sheriff Truman, along with a forwarding address which allows them to track down to whom it belonged. She also appears toward the very end of the series when Dale Cooper brings her in to confirm that the smell of Bob was indeed the smell of engine oil.

She is featured most heavily in both Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and the pilot episode.

A small aspect of her character in relation to Fire Walk With Me is that she was somehow meant to come out of Laura's murder alright. Towards the end of the film during the final scene in the train car, Laura sees Ronnette's "guardian angel" looking over her as she frantically prays for her life. Earlier, Laura sees her own "angel" abandoning her ( disappearing from the picture on her wall ). When Ronnete is brought in during the last episodes, she appears to have reformed herself, dressing demurely and co-operating with the police without question.
