Sherilyn Fenn (born Sheryl Ann Fenn; February 1, 1965) is an American actress and author. She came to attention for her performance as Audrey Horne on the television series ''Twin Peaks'' (1990–1991, 2017) for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy Award.

She is also known for her roles in '' Wild at Heart'' (1990), '' Of Mice and Men'' (1992), '' Boxing Helena'' (1993), the television sitcom '' Rude Awakening'' (1998–2001), '' The United States of Leland'' (2003), '' Shameless'' (2016), and ''Shining Vale'' (2022).

Early life

Fenn was born Sheryl Ann Fenn on February 1, 1965, in Detroit, Michigan. She comes from a family of musicians: her mother is keyboard player Arlene Quatro, her aunt is singer Suzi Quatro, her grandfather Art Quatro was a jazz musician, and her father, Leo Fenn, managed such rock bands as Suzi Quatro's The Pleasure Seekers, Alice Cooper, and The Billion Dollar Babies. Fenn is of Italian and Hungarian descent on her mother's side, and of Irish and French descent on her father's. She was raised Catholic.

Fenn frequently traveled with her mother and two older brothers before the family settled in Los Angeles when she was 17.Glenn O'Brien. "Fenn-Tastic! Meet Twin Peaks' Mysterious Siren Sherilyn Fenn." ''Playboy''. December 1990. pp. 82–91, 213–214. Not wanting to start with a new school again, Fenn dropped out after her junior year and decided to pursue acting, enrolling at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.

Acting career

Early career (1984–1989)

Fenn began her career with a number of B-movies, including '' The Wild Life'' (1984, opposite Chris Penn), the 1986 skater film ''Thrashin''' (opposite Josh Brolin and Pamela Gidley), the 1986 teen car action and revenge fantasy ''The Wraith and opposite Nick Cassavetes), the 1987 horror film ''Zombie High'' (alongside Virginia Madsen), and the '' Beauty and the Beast''-inspired erotic movie '' Meridian''. She had a part in the 1985 cult teen-comedy '' Just One of the Guys'' in which she tries to seduce a teenaged girl who was disguised as a boy, played by Joyce Hyser. Fenn starred alongside Johnny Depp in the 1985 short student film ''Dummies'', directed by Laurie Frank for the American Film Institute. Fenn and Depp dated for three and a half years, subsequently getting engaged. In 1987, she joined Depp in a season-one episode of '' 21 Jump Street'' called "Blindsided".

Fenn has described many of these early films as sexploitation films "where directors tried to convince erto appear naked after the contract was signed."Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "The Rise and Thrall of Sherilyn Fenn" by James Steranko '' Prevue'' (US). March 1991. pp. 42–43, 53, 57. In a February 1993 interview she explained:

Fenn landed her first starring role, as an engaged heiress to an old Southern family who falls for carnival worker Richard Tyson, in Zalman King's erotic drama film '' Two Moon Junction'', after which she wanted to hide for a year: "I was so embarrassed about how it turned out that I went into a cocoon for a year afterwards."Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "Everybody's Mad about Sherilyn Fenn" by Jessica Sully, '' Movie'' (Australia). January 1993. pp. 18–20. ''Two Moon Junction'' was meant to be Fenn's big break, but the film turned into another sexploitation film.

After these film experiences, Fenn decided to take control of her career. "I decided to be more myself and not to be pushed into what other people wanted me to be. It's scary how little imagination many people in this business have."

Rise to fame (1990–1991)

Fenn won her most famous role and made an impression on the public when she was cast by David Lynch and Mark Frost as the tantalizing, reckless Audrey Horne, a high school ''femme fatale'', in the TV series ''Twin Peaks''. The series ran from 1990 to 1991, and the character of Audrey was one of the most popular with fans, in particular for her unrequited love for FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (played by Kyle MacLachlan) and her style from the 1950s (with her saddle shoes, plaid skirts, and tight sweaters). Fenn reached cult status with a scene in which she danced to Angelo Badalamenti's music and a scene in which she knotted a cherry stem in her mouth. "With Sherilyn Fenn, ''Twin Peaks'' came on and effortlessly destroyed every other show's sexuality", said James Marshall, one of her cast-mates. Speaking in September 1990, Fenn pointed out: "Audrey is a woman-child who dresses like the girls in the '50s and shows her body. But she's daddy's little girl at the same time." In the show's second season, when the idea of pairing Audrey with Cooper was abandoned, Audrey was paired with other characters like Bobby Briggs (played by Dana Ashbrook) and John Justice Wheeler (Billy Zane). About Audrey, Fenn said:

Shortly after shooting the ''Twin Peaks pilot episode, David Lynch gave her a small part in '' Wild at Heart'', as a girl injured in a car wreck, obsessed by the contents of her purse, alongside Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern. The film won the Golden Palm Award at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. "David's direction was, 'Only think of this: bobby pins, lipstick, wallet, comb, that's it.' It's very abstract." "I just pictured her being able to do this," said Lynch of her scene, "she's like a broken China doll." David Lynch, who once described Sherilyn Fenn as "five feet of heaven in a ponytail" (quoting from a 1958 record by The Playmates), said to Banner, who used that description as the title of his article, "She's a mysterious girl and I think that actresses like her who have a mystery – where there's something hiding beneath the surface – are the really interesting ones." "He's very creative and unafraid of taking chances," she said of the director. "I really respect him. He's wonderful."Sherilyn Fenn, quoted i
M. J. Simpson's Interview With Sherilyn Fenn
. October 1, 1997. Also during this period, Fenn appeared on the cover and in a nude pictorial in the December 1990 edition of ''Playboy'' magazine.

She portrayed John Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette in ABC's 1991 gangster TV movie '' Dillinger'' opposite Mark Harmon, and shot the neo-noir black comedy ''Desire and Hell at Sunset Motel'' in which she played a sultry, seductive ''femme fatale''.

After ''Twin Peaks'', Fenn chose to focus on widening her range of roles and was determined to avoid typecasting. She stated, "They've offered me every variation on Audrey Horne, none of which were as good or as much fun."Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "Fenn de Siècle" by Joshua Mooney. ''Movieline''. July 1993. pp. 36–40, 80–82. She turned down the Audrey Horne spinoff series that was offered to her, and unlike most of the cast, chose not to return for the 1992 prequel movie '' Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me'', as she was then shooting ''Of Mice and Men''.Dennis Hensley. "Fenn & Now". ''Movieline''. June 1999. pp. 54–59.

Post-''Twin Peaks'' roles (1992–1995)

After two nominations (Emmy and Golden Globe) for ''Twin Peaks'', and the pictorial in ''Playboy'', Fenn was propelled to stardom and became a major sex symbol, with her Old Hollywood looks. In October 1990, while promoting ''Twin Peaks'', Fenn made the cover of ''Rolling Stone'' magazine along with Mädchen Amick and Lara Flynn Boyle. In 1990 ''Us Magazine'' chose her as one of the "10 Most Beautiful Women in the World" and in 1991 ''People'' magazine chose her as one of the "50 Most Beautiful Women in the World". She posed for photographer Steven Meisel for the autumn-winter 1991–1992 Dolce & Gabbana campaign, for which he photographed her as a classical Hollywood ''femme fatale''. In 1992, photographer George Hurrell took a series of photographs of Sherilyn Fenn, Sharon Stone, Julian Sands, Raquel Welch, Eric Roberts, and Sean Penn. In these portraits, he recreated his style of the 1930s, with Fenn posing in costumes, hairstyle, and makeup of the period.

In 1991, Hollywood acting coach Roy London chose her to star in his directorial debut ''Diary of a Hitman'', in which she plays a young mother determined to protect her child from hit man Forest Whitaker. According to Fenn, the turning point in her career was when she met London in 1990. She credits him with instilling confidence and newfound enthusiasm. She learned from her beloved teacher "to find the roles that you're passionate about, that speak to you on some level and which will help you grow on some level," which has then become her line of conduct. "A lot of the sentiment that acting should be about an art form rather than mass entertainment and celebrity is at the core of Fenn's attitude to the business," wrote Jessica Sully in Australian magazine ''Movie''. "I try to keep myself centered," Fenn said. "I don't go to parties and all that. I don't think being seen or being in the right place is going to make me a better actress. I care about my work and try to do what's right in my heart."Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "Fenn Fatale" by Martha Frankel. '' Exposure''. September 1990. pp. 56–63. As Mike Bygrave wrote in ''Sky Magazine'': "One of the keys to understanding Fenn is that when she talks about the characters she plays she's really talking about herself." Fenn was eager to play varied parts that could eclipse her sex-symbol image. "People who think they know me would be surprised that my whole life doesn't revolve around sex," she said. After ''Twin Peaks'', Fenn demanded a no-nudity clause in her contracts. She turned to independent films, choosing varied and unusual roles:

A highlight of Fenn's film career is Gary Sinise's film adaptation of '' Of Mice and Men'', in which she played a sad and lonely country wife, desperately in need to talk to somebody, opposite Sinise and John Malkovich. "Sherilyn's one of the reasons we got such a great ovation at Cannes", said Sinise. "She's like a terribly sad angel in this film. Sherilyn plays against just being a sexy and beautiful girl," he added. "Gary Sinise was one of the first people who didn't see me like a lot of other people did",Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "Fenn & Now" by Dennis Hensley. ''Movieline''. June 1999. pp. 54–59. she said. "It was a wonderful experience. Horton Foote adapted the novel and he fleshed out my character, and he made her much, much more." The same year, she starred alongside Danny Aiello and others in John Mackenzie's ''Ruby'', about Jack Ruby. Fenn played the part of ambitious stripper Sheryl Ann DuJean, a fictitious character who is a composite of several real-life women including stripper Candy Barr, Marilyn Monroe, and Judith Campbell Exner. "She's got a brain and all the right emotional instincts, and that's a great combination," said Mackenzie of Fenn.

In 1993, she starred in the romantic comedy '' Three of Hearts'' as Kelly Lynch and William Baldwin's love interest. During the shooting, the relationship between Fenn and director Yurek Bogayevicz became strained as she refused to appear nude in the film.Joshua Mooney. "Fenn de Siècle." ''Movieline''. July 1993. pp. 36–40, 80–82.

Another of her notable film roles was in '' Boxing Helena'', directed by David Lynch's daughter Jennifer Chambers Lynch. Fenn portrayed a narcissistic seductress amputated and imprisoned by Julian Sands, who makes her become his personal Venus de Milo in an effort to possess her. Fenn said of the film, "Society, Hollywood, some men... they want to wrap women up in a neat little package."Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "Fenntastic" by Jill Daniel. ''Orange Coast''. January 1999. Both Lynch and Fenn were proud of their work in it, but the film was ultimately a critical and commercial failure. However, both women enjoyed their collaboration. "Sherilyn is an amazing actress, a total bundle of energy and a real powerhouse and I think people will see a side of her that we have never seen of Sherilyn anywhere else before," said Lynch of the actress. "Jennifer's one of the brightest person I know," said Fenn. "''Boxing Helena was''... not perfect, but I think for the story that we were trying to tell, it turned out pretty good. What it signified was really powerful to me: how society puts us in boxes one way or another."

She then starred in Carl Reiner's neo-noir parody '' Fatal Instinct'' as Armand Assante's devoted secretary and Sean Young's and Kate Nelligan's rival. She was asked to read for the ''femme fatale'' Lola (eventually played by Young), but opted for the secretary role.

Fenn afterward portrayed Potiphar's wife Zulaikha in Showtime's 1995 Biblical TV movie '' Slave of Dreams'' opposite Adrian Pasdar and Edward James Olmos.

In 1995, she starred in an episode of ''Tales from the Crypt'' directed by Robert Zemeckis, alongside Isabella Rossellini and John Lithgow, in which she played the lover of Humphrey Bogart, who appeared in the episode via CGI special effects.

After a short break during which she married and gave birth to a son, Fenn was chosen out of more than 100 actresses to portray actress Elizabeth Taylor in NBC's 1995 telemovie '' Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story''. Fenn called the role "probably the hardest job I've ever done." "Director Kevin Connor and I arranged a lunch, not an audition," said executive producer Lester Persky. "We knew 10 minutes into our meeting that Sherilyn was it. She has the same striking beauty, and because of that she's experienced some of the things in life and in this business that make Elizabeth such a fascinating person." When she accepted the part, Fenn was unaware that Taylor was embroiled in a lawsuit intended to stop both the broadcast of the film and the unauthorized biography that it was based on. Fenn stated about the controversy, "I am somebody who doesn't make choices lightly at this point of my life. I'm not somebody who wants to exploit another's woman story or life in any way." Fenn felt a kinship with Taylor, stating, "There are stereotypes of what a beautiful woman is. She struggled with that. A certain part of her life she went on that calling card. I certainly know I've come into contact with that. 'You are too pretty,' I'm told." During the shooting, Fenn supported the original screenwriter's effort to concentrate on Taylor the person, not the legend:

Mid90s and guest appearances (1996–1998)

In the late 1990s, Fenn experienced a career slowdown. In 1993, she had stated:

In 1997, she stated: "It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening necessarily then." Also, she has attributed her failure to adapt to the Hollywood system to her frankness and her dislike for the "Hollywood game."

She then began to alternate TV movies and independent films. In 1996, she joined the ensemble cast in the romantic comedy ''Lovelife'' as a waitress who attempts to become a writer and has to rebuild her life. Fenn also appeared in the 1997 romantic comedy ''Just Write'', along with Jeremy Piven, as the dream actress of a Hollywood tour bus driver, who mistakes him for a famous screenwriter. Both films have been well-received on the festival circuit.

In a 1997 episode of ''Friends,'' "The One with Phoebe's Ex-Partner," which was Episode 14 of Season 3 of the show, Fenn guest-starred as Matt LeBlanc's ex-girlfriend Ginger, who has a prosthetic right leg. She stated, "I like the show. I was happy to be a part of it."

The same year, she was cast as the female lead in ABC's show ''Prey'' (originally entitled ''Hungry for Survival'') and starred in the unaired original pilot episode. However, after the filming was done and post-production work almost wrapped up, the studio heads abruptly changed course, replacing Fenn with Debra Messing and reshooting the entire pilot. ''Prey'' went on for one season before getting cancelled.

Fenn starred in the 1998 British psychological drama '' Darkness Falls'' as a wealthy and neglected wife, who is sequestered with her husband (played by Tim Dutton) by a man ( Ray Winstone) determined to understand the events that led to his wife ending up in a coma. Fenn called the film "a wonderful character piece" While shooting the film in the Isle of Man in late 1997, Fenn considered settling in London to start a European career, but eventually decided to stay in the U.S.

Return to television: ''Rude Awakening'' (1998–2001)

Fenn gained newfound enthusiasm with the lead role in Showtime's sitcom '' Rude Awakening'' as Billie Frank, an alcoholic ex-soap opera actress, who tries to go sober and become a writer, but continues to struggle with her self-destructive habits. The series ran from 1998 to 2001 and co-starred Lynn Redgrave, Jonathan Penner, and Mario Van Peebles. She said of it:

Fenn again joined Jeremy Piven in a 1998 episode of ''Cupid'', as Piven's love interest.

In 1999, she reteamed with Chris Penn and Adrian Pasdar for Pasdar's art-house directorial debut, the neo-noir ''Cement,'' a contemporary retelling of ''Othello'' in which she played a tempting but imprudent wife of jealous corrupt cop Penn. "I play a character who's selfish and sloppy with her sexual energy. I saw the film and I was really happy with it. It's got a lot of soul." The film, which won Best Picture awards on the festival circuit, was written by ''Farscape'''s screenwriter, Justin Monjo and also starred Jeffrey Wright and Henry Czerny. She also reteamed with actor/director Bruce Davison for his 2001 family comedy, Showtime's '' Off Season'' alongside Rory Culkin, Hume Cronyn, and Adam Arkin.

Fenn subsequently starred alongside Jon Tenney in the pilot for a remake of ABC's ''Love, American Style,'' for the 1998–1999 television season. Although the show wasn't picked up, it did air as a TV special on February 20, 1999. Guest stars include Mariska Hargitay, Steven Eckholdt, Fenn, Jon Tenney, Melissa Joan Hart, Matt Letscher, Joely Fisher, Tom Verica, and writer/producer Winnie Holzman (''My So-Called Life'').

2001–present

Following ''Rude Awakening,'' Fenn's has made a number of episodic TV appearances. In the middle of the 2000s, she was involved in many projects that went unrealized.

In 2001, she starred in '' The Outer Limits'' episode "Replica", playing a scientist who volunteered to be cloned. She also starred in an episode of '' Night Visions'', as a woman who buys a used car possessed by a vengeful spirit. She was cast as a kindergarten teacher for the pilot of the 2001 American version of the British TV show '' Blind Men'', alongside French Stewart. However, the pilot was not ordered into a series.

In 2002, Fenn was one of several former ''Twin Peaks'' stars, such as Dana Ashbrook and Mädchen Amick, to have a recurring role on The WB's ''Dawson's Creek''. She guest-starred in three episodes from the fifth season, as Alex Pearl, the seductive manager of the restaurant where Joshua Jackson works. Fenn was afterwards cast as Harley Quinn in The WB's '' Birds of Prey'', but was replaced by Mia Sara before the series began. Fenn starred in the original pilot episode, but dropped out, due to scheduling conflicts, as the show's creators realized that the character Harley Quinn would need to be a bigger part of the show. She also played a manipulative woman in a season-four episode of '' Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' versus both Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay, and appeared in ''Watching Ellie''.

Fenn played a crime boss in the 2002 film '' Swindle'' alongside Tom Sizemore. She had a small role in the film '' The United States of Leland'' alongside Ryan Gosling, in which she played a mother who captivates a troubled teenage boy.

In 2003, Fenn appeared on The WB's ''Gilmore Girls'' as Sasha, the girlfriend of Jess Mariano's estranged father (played by Rob Estes) in the season-three episode " Here Comes the Son", which was the back-door pilot for a California-set spin-off titled ''Windward Circle'', that was to have starred Milo Ventimiglia, Estes, and Fenn. But the network dropped the project, citing cost issues due to filming on location in Venice, California.

She then played the recurring part of Violet Montgomery on Fox's '' Boston Public'' (2003–2004), and appeared in Showtime's ''Cavedweller'' (2004) opposite Kyra Sedgwick. In 2004, Fenn joined former co-star Mark Harmon in an episode of '' NCIS'', as an amnesiac woman. She was afterwards cast for the 2004 remake of '' Mister Ed'', planned for the Fox network—but after the pilot was shot, the show's writer/producer, Drake Sather, committed suicide, and the pilot was not aired.

In 2004, Fenn co-starred opposite Traci Lords and Paul Johansson in Emily Skopov's ''Novel Romance,'' released in 2006, in which she played a pregnancy shop owner who herself cannot have children. She then appeared in the martial arts film ''Lesser of Three Evils'' alongside Ho Sung Pak, Peter Greene, and Roger Guenveur Smith, as the unbalanced and alcoholic wife of a corrupt detective. The film was released in 2009 under the title ''Fist of the Warrior.''

In 2005, Fenn made a notable appearance on ''The 4400'', playing Jean DeLynn Baker, a 4400 who has the ability to grow toxin-emitting spores on her hands. She also guest-starred on the final episode of ''Judging Amy.''

After finishing the Russia-set action film ''Treasure Raiders'' with David Carradine, Fenn starred in the Canadian psychological thriller ''Presumed Dead,'' alongside Duncan Regehr, as a detective working on a missing-person case who has to outwit a crime novelist.

In 2006, Fenn reteamed with Amy Sherman-Palladino and reappeared in the sixth and seventh seasons of ''Gilmore Girls'' as Anna Nardini, the ex-girlfriend of Luke Danes (played by Scott Patterson) and protective mother to his daughter April. Since the failure of the 2003 ''Gilmore Girls'' spin-off project, Sherman-Palladino had continued to want to work with Fenn again, and she wrote the character of Anna with her in mind. When asked why she cast Fenn for two different roles on ''Gilmore Girls,'' Sherman-Palladino explained: However, after Sherman-Palladino left the show, the direction for the character changedthe producers decided to make her character a villain in a custody battle.

Fenn was cast as the female lead in ABC's 2006 comedy series ''Three Moons Over Milford,'' but she was ultimately replaced by Elizabeth McGovern. Fenn was slated for a recurring role on CBS's 2006 crime drama '' Smith,'' but the show was quickly canceled.

She appeared in the 2007 '' Dukes of Hazzard'' prequel, '' The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning'' as Lulu Hogg. "It's just a fun silly role," Fenn said. But having already worked with director Robert Berlinger on ''Rude Awakening,'' she wanted to do so again.

In July 2006, shortly after shooting ''The Dukes of Hazzard'' prequel, Fenn stepped behind the camera for the first time and directed in Pittsburgh a documentary film about child enrichment program CosmiKids and its founder, Judy Julin. She subsequently joined its executive team in 2007 as executive director of the film and television division.

In December 2010, Fenn appeared on ''Psych'' with other ''Twin Peaks'' actors on the season 5 episode " Dual Spires" as sultry librarian Maudette Hornsby. The episode paid homage to ''Twin Peaks'' with many references to the show. She reprised her role as Audrey Horne in 2017 for the third season of ''Twin Peaks''. In February 2016, she joined the cast of the American version of '' Shameless.''

In 2016, Fenn wrote and published a children's book titled ''No Man's Land'', about a boy who has autism. She was inspired to write the book after her second son, Christian, was diagnosed with autism.
