Sherilyn Fenn

Sherilyn Fenn
Sherilyn was born Sheryl Ann Fenn in Detroit Michigan 1st February 1965. She is an American actress who came to fame over here as the sublime and mischievous ‘Audrey Horne’ in Twin Peaks- she really made that show what it is, a classic of American television.

Sherilyn portrayed Elizabeth Taylor fantastically well and so true to form in Liz - The Elizabeth Taylor Story. Ms Taylor hadn't’ originally wanted the show to be made but had to admit that Sherilyn did a wonderful job!

Sherilyn has appeared in many movies, Ruby Desire and Hell at Sunset Motel ‘Of Mice and Men’. She played a confused lesbian wonderfully in ‘Three Of Hearts, much notoriety followed for Boxing Helena directed by David Lynch’s daughter Jennifer.

In the late 90’s she was cast in a lovely romantic comedy ‘Just Write' with Jeremy Piven of ‘Ellen’fame. Darkness Falls was filmed over here in the Isle of Man with Ray Winston.

Her most recent film is titled ‘The Scensters’, is a film noir directed by The Vacationeers. Sherilyn has appeared in countless other television shows, including 'Gilmore Girls', in which the director loved her so much she cast her as two different characters in the show! In her last television role ’, she played another lesbian.

Sherilyn lives in Los Angeles with her partner Dylan and two children Myles and Christian. Over the last year Sherilyn has started a wonderfully insightful Blog called ‘Postcards from the Ledge' I suggest you check it out, It’s a wonderful account of her life in Hollywood.
