Who is Sherilyn Fenn?

Sherilyn Fenn was born on the 1st of February, 1965, in Detroit, Michigan, USA. She works as an actress, possibly best known for the role of Audrey Horne on Twin Peaks. She also landed the coveted role of playing Elizabeth Taylor in the film Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story. Sherilyn was actually named Sheryl Ann Fenn when she was born. Her family is full of musicians, with her aunt being the famous Suzi Quatro. Sherilyn is from Italian and Hungarian origins. Her family travelled, until they settled in Los Angeles when she was 17, and Sherilyn enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. She worked in a number of forgettable movies, and even admits herself that much of her early career is worth forgetting! Notably, she starred in Two Moon Junction, which was meant to be her breakout film, but unfortunately it turned into a sexploitation film, and Sherilyn hid from the press for a year after its release. It was when David Lynch finally cast her in Twin Peaks that she hit her stride. She received an Emmy nomination and a Golden Globe nomination for her role. She also posed for Playboy in 1990. She was engaged to Johnny Depp at one time. She has married and divorced musician Toulouse Holliday. Sherilyn currently lives in Los Angeles.
