Hollywood actress Naomi Watts has told fans that Mulholland Drive is the film that saved her life.
The star admitted that she regularly contemplated suicide before getting her big break in the film. Before Watts won her role, she was living in extreme poverty and was about to be evicted.
Coincidentally, Watts once considered taking her own life while driving along Los Angeles' real Mulholland Drive.
"I still have a hard time believing that it's all come together for me," Watts is quoted by Breakingnews.ie as saying.
"I remember spending a lot of time in my car weeping. I actually remember driving along Mulholland Drive thinking: 'I'll just take a right turn here. Maybe I'll just go over the cliff, because I can't take it any more.'
"But I never had the guts to actually quit. My friend Nicole [Kidman] would tell me: 'All it takes is one film.' And that film turned out to be Mulholland Drive. It was a life saver because I was about to be evicted from m y LA apartment."
