She has brought out a side of me that’s more mischievous and fun that I had suppressed, trying to be an adult.

Audrey's been great for me. She has brought out a side of me that's more mischievous and fun that I had suppressed, trying to be an adult. She has made it OK to use the power one has as a woman to be manipulative at times, to be precocious. She goes after what she wants vehemently and she takes it. I think that's really admirable. I love that about her. [10] A lot of people said some really bad things about me for doing such a sexy movie. But I decided to do it because I wasn't comfortable with the material. [9] I didn't want to make choices that would always put me in a place that was comfortable and secure. I thought interesting things would happen and I would grow. Interesting things did happen. I cried at the end of all my love scenes. [10] In 2005, Fenn made a 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. Her mother’s sisters, one of whom was Suzi Quatro, had an all-girl band. At one point, they lost their keyboard player and Sherilyn’s mom joined up. Sherilyn’s father managed the band. Mom served a two-year hitch until Suzi moved to England.One of young, crystalline, modulated Sherilyn’s ambitions is to be cast in the title role in The Clara Bow Story a project that’s ongoing in Hollywood. She was turned on to the silent-screen star by her friend Prince. David Lynch, quoted in "Babes in the Woods: Sharing Pie and Secrets with the Mystery Girls of Twin Peaks" by Bill Zehme. Rolling Stone. Issue 588. October 4, 1990. pp. 68–71, 170. Sherilyn Fenn (born Sheryl Ann Fenn; February 1, 1965) is an American actress. [1] She played 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.

Sherilyn got the starring role shortly after dyeing her beautiful long brown hair platinum blonde. “I was searching for things and I wasn’t looking within myself; I was looking on the outside, as we maybe do at twenty years old. Two days later, somebody called ma dumb blonde when I made a turn without signaling. It really stunned me. Then it sank in. Oh, yeah, I’m a blonde.” I met an agent and he was a jerk. Then I met another agent, Cynthia Campos-Greenberg, who is still my agent, and she really inspired me. She taught me things. She lit a fire in me that I didn’t know existed. I started to want to act for reasons other than wanting to be a movie star. I realized that being emotional is great; it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. I realized that you could grow from acting.” Valcourt, Keith (December 8, 2016). "Sherilyn Fenn: 'Return to Twin Peaks' ". The Washington Times . Retrieved January 8, 2017. Now it's been almost two years since I started. I went to see David. We were drinking coffee, and I said, 'Oh this is wrong. And this.' He said, 'Sherilyn Fenn, you're a mess. You need TM!' He hooked me up with a wonderful teacher. It's life-changing.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 posed for photographer Steven Meisel for the autumn–winter 1991–1992 Dolce & Gabbana campaign. [20] James Marshall, quoted in "The James Marshall Interview" by Craig Miller and John Thorne.

Retrieved August 29, 2021. 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. [34] The film was not a hit. Nor were the 13 or so other films she was in over the next seven years. Some weren’t released. Some went straight to video. But she got a lot of on-the-set experience in teen-exploitation movies playing “the pretty one who likes the guy” or “the cute and spunky one,” but her repertoire grew up fast with Two Moon Junction, a sort of combination Gone with the Wind and Emmanuelle directed by Zalman King, the screenwriter and producer of 9½ Weeks.

She has psychic abilities; she can tell when people are lying. She doesn’t like parties, she doesn’t like clubs, she likes restaurants, especially ones with great Italian food and good chianti. She is part Italian (Quatro is short for Quatrocchio), part Irish (Fenn), part Hungarian (rebel) and part French (Chanel). She hasn’t had a tan in years and, on reflection, never really liked having one. She likes cold, rainy weather. a b "Sherilyn Fenn | Photography Steven Meisel | Dolce & Gabbana Ad Campaign | Fall/Winter 1991/1992". Strip Project (in Italian). August 27, 2015 . Retrieved February 2, 2021. 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" [15] 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. [17] [39] Return to television: Rude Awakening (1998–2001) [ edit ]Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "Fenn de Siècle" by Joshua Mooney. Movieline. July 1993. pp. 36–40, 80–82. I can relate to that. I’m twenty-five now. I don’t think I’ll want to retire in a year, but there are a lot of things I want to do in my life besides act. I want to see the world. I want a family. I want children. I’d like to write. This is insatiable town.” Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "The Rise and Thrall of Sherilyn Fenn" by James Steranko Prevue (US). March 1991. pp. 42–43, 53, 57. When David Lynch and his collaborating writer-producer Mark Frost called, Sherilyn went to see them, even though she didn’t have much interest in TV and wasn’t crazy about the script for the Twin Peaks TV-movie pilot. She had seen Blue Velvet and was intrigued. Lynch doesn’t have actors read, he just meets with them; and during the course of Sherilyn’s meeting with him, she let it out that she didn’t like the script very much. “Everybody’s sleeping with everybody. Why don’t they solve the murder? Why drag this murder out over seven episodes? I don’t think they liked me very much at first, but somehow, I was in the running. I did a reading for the network and before I knew it, we were doing the show.” I was disillusioned with acting after the pilot of Twin Peaks. I'd been doing low-budget films. I didn't want to walk through movies being a pretty ornament. At 25 I didn't know if I had it. I questioned if there was depth, if there was integrity to me. I was longing to go inside, to do deeper work. [21]
