Born into 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), of Italian and Hungarian descent on her mother's side and Irish and French descent on her father's side, Sherilyn Fenn traveled a lot with her mother and two older brothers before the family settled in Los Angeles when she was 17.[2] Fenn, who claims to be demure,[2][3] didn't want to start with a new school again, and began studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute instead.[2] Suzi Quatro Album Cover Suzi Quatro Suzi Quatro (born Susan Kay Quatro on June 3, 1950 in Detroit, Michigan. ...

Acting career

Early career

Sherilyn Fenn began her career with a number of B-movies including The Wild Life (1984, opposite Chris Penn), 1986 skater film Thrashin' (opposite Josh Brolin and Pamela Gidley) and 1986 teen-fantasy movie The Wraith (opposite Charlie Sheen and Nick Cassavetes). She had a memorable part in the 1985 cult teen-comedy Just One of the Guys in which she tries to seduce a teenage girl disguised as a boy, played by Joyce Hyser. 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 said she wanted to hide for a year.[4] "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. I'm not this string-bikini, exhibitionist-type person. So I thought, what would happen to me if I did behave this erotically?[5] I didn't want to make choices that would always put me in a place that was comfortable and secure. I thought interesting would happen and I would grow. Interesting things did happen. I cried at the end of all my love scenes."[6] The term B-movie originally referred to a film designed to be distributed as the lower half of a double feature, often a genre film featuring cowboys, gangsters or vampires. ...

Still, I did a lot of movies instead of waitressing or that kind of thing at the beginning, and it wasn't as if I even took acting very seriously when I started. I was in California for the first time. I was going to clubs, I was going here, I was going there, I was skipping acting classes when I could. Luckily, I had an agent who really believed in me and she just kept pushing me, thinking something would happen.[7]

Rise to fame - Twin Peaks

Sherilyn Fenn as Audrey Horne in Twin Peaks

Fenn won her most outstanding role and made an indelible impression on the public when she was cast by David Lynch and Mark Frost as the tantalizing, reckless Audrey Horne, the high-school femme fatale from the critically acclaimed 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), her style from the '50s (with her saddle shoes, plaid skirts and tight sweaters), and a memorable 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 co-star James Marshall.[8] "Audrey is a woman-child who dresses like the girls in the '50s and shows her body", said Fenn. "But she's daddy's little girl at the same time."[5] In the show's second season, when the idea of pairing the characters was abandoned, Audrey was paired with other characters like Bobby Briggs (Dana Ashbrook) and John Justice Wheeler (Billy Zane).

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.[6]

Shortly after shooting Twin Peaks' pilot episode, David Lynch gave her a small but impressive part in Wild at Heart, as a girl injured in a car wreck, opposite Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern, which 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."[9] "I just pictured her being able to do this", said Lynch of her scene, "she’s like a broken China doll."[10] David Lynch, who once described Sherilyn Fenn as "five feet of heaven in a ponytail", said about her: Twin Peaks is an American serial drama created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. ...

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.[11]

After Twin Peaks, Fenn chose to focus on widening her range of roles and was determined to avoid typecasting. "They’ve offered me every variation on Audrey Horne, none of which were as good or as much fun."[12] She turned down the Audrey Horne spin-off 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.[13] Twin Peaks is an American serial drama created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. ...

After two nominations (Emmy and Golden Globe) and a pictorial in Playboy magazine, Fenn was propelled to stardom and became a major sex symbol.

The world has certain rules - Hollywood has certain rules - but it doesn't mean you have to play by them, and I don't, or I'd be a miserable person.[14] I’m not consciously being the rebel. I don’t get considered for a lot of those big fat movies. The studios have their list of five actresses and whether they’re right or wrong for a role doesn’t matter. It’s how much money their last movie made.[15] Not that I necessarily want to do them anyway. Because there’s very few that are big budget that have any substance or any depth or any integrity.[16]

Fenn starred in the neo-noir black comedy Desire and Hell at Sunset Motel as a sultry, seductive femme fatale, opposite Whip Hubley and David Hewlett. She played John Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette in ABC's 1991 gangster TV movie Dillinger opposite Mark Harmon, Will Patton and Patricia Arquette. Her acting coach, veteran Hollywood acting coach Roy London chose her to star in his directorial debut Diary of a Hitman (nominated for the Critics Award at the 1991 Deauville Film Festival, and costarring Sharon Stone, also one of London’s alumni), 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 Roy London in 1990. "He helped me find a good moment in the scenes I did, no matter how ordinary the film. Eventually, I also discovered it's a gift to be able to touch people and to be able to live different lives in this one life."[7] Another thing she learned from her beloved teacher was "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,"[17] which has then become her line of conduct.

One of the keys to understanding Fenn is that when she talks about the characters she plays she's really talking about herself.[18]

In 1992 she played a sad and lonely country wife, desperately in need to talk to somebody in Gary Sinise's film adaptation of Of Mice and Men (nominated for the Golden Palm at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival) opposite John Malkovich. "Sherilyn’s one of the reasons we got such a great ovation at Cannes", said Sinise.[19] "Gary Sinise was one of the first people who didn’t see me like a lot of other people did,"[20] 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."[14] The same year saw her starring in John Mackenzie's Ruby as small-town stripper/singer Sheryl Ann DuJean (a fictional character inspired by the women around John Kennedy, including Marilyn Monroe) alongside Danny Aiello, Arliss Howard and Marc Lawrence. "I see these images of Marilyn", said Lawrence - who worked with Monroe - about Fenn, "she even moves like Marilyn."[21] "She’s got a brain and all the right emotional instincts", said Mackenzie, "and that’s a great combination."[22] In 1993 she starred in the romantic comedy Three of Hearts as Kelly Lynch and William Baldwin's love interest, and Carl Reiner's detective film parody Fatal Instinct as Armand Assante's devoted secretary and Sean Young and Kate Nelligan’s rival.

Her most notable film role to date was in the controversial Boxing Helena (nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival), directed by David Lynch's daughter Jennifer Chambers Lynch. Helena, in which she played a narcissistic seductress amputated and imprisoned by Julian Sands, was a way for Fenn to avoid being type-cast,[23] with a radically different role from what she’d done in the past: Boxing Helena is the 1993 debut feature film by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David Lynch. ...

I like taking risks and I decided to put every bit of me into the role.[7]

Both Lynch and Fenn were proud of their work in it[24] but the film - which was overshadowed by the lawsuits against Kim Basinger after she dropped out - ultimately was a critical and commercial failure. About Sherilyn Fenn, director Jennifer Lynch said:

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. I have with Sherilyn something I didn't think I'd ever find and that is the entire whole.[25]

"Jennifer’s one of the brightest person I know,"[20] said Fenn. "Boxing Helena was something that I think was pretty cool, but people judged it without even having seen it. It’s 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."[20]

After a short break during which she married and gave birth to a son, Fenn portrayed Elizabeth Taylor in NBC's 1995 telemovie Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story: Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 456 × 458 pixelsFull resolution (456 × 458 pixel, file size: 130 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Picture of Sherilyn Fenn playing Helena in the film Boxing Helena (1993), television screenshot uploaded for visual reference as per fair use policy. ...

Playing Elizabeth Taylor was probably the hardest job I’ve ever done.[20]

During the shooting, she fought to keep integrity in the script. Fenn's priority was to respectfully and accurately portray Taylor.[26]

I fought to keep the integrity of the story because the producer was bringing in a writer that was making it very soapy. They wanted many scenes of her when she was very overweight. I said, 'I'm not doing that. I'll do one. That's not this woman's life.' For me it was just: I didn't want to make an impression. I just tried to play the truth of the woman. Not the legend, not the stories that we hear about her. Because even when she was a child, you were seeing a version of her that was manipulated by the studios, so you didn't really see her. I thought the closest she ever came to revealing herself was Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and she lost herself in that role. It was cathartic for her to do that in a lot of ways, to let herself be that wild.[16]

She also portrayed Potiphar's wife Zulaikha in Showtime's biblical TV movie Slave of Dreams opposite Adrian Pasdar and Edward James Olmos. The film was directed by multi-award winning Robert M. Young and produced by Martha and Dino De Laurentiis. Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a play by Edward Albee that opened on Broadway at the Billy Rose Theater on October 13, 1962. ...

Slowdown in her career

In the late 1990s, Fenn's career took a downturn, which she herself has attributed to her frankness and her lack of enthusiasm in traditional Hollywood films. "I was a brat", she admits. "I didn't like anything, even then. It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening necessarily then. But they also have a way of putting you in a category. I wasn't into playing the Hollywood game. I only responded to certain things.[16] ...

I was told once that I didn't play the Hollywood game, and that's why I wasn't a big star. What they meant when they said that was that I don't go to parties, and when I go to an audition and I don't like the script, they know it. I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with.

There's something quite empowering about somebody who doesn't care what other people think. Billie is learning about herself. She's recognized that she has a problem with drugs and alcohol, and she's trying to straighten it out.[27]

I love Sherilyn so much and I don't care. One thing about the show is I just want the best people. I've just been looking constantly for a time to work with Sherilyn, and I'm getting very old and I could just get hit by a truck at any minute. I just simply can't put it off that long, so I'd just rather get her in and have her part of my world.[33]

Personal quotes

  • "I like strong women - women who aren't victims but women who don't try to be like men. The world has certain rules - Hollywood has certain rules - but it doesn't mean you have to play by them, and I don't, or I'd be a miserable person."[14]
  • "I don't know why people see the things that they do. I wouldn't pay to see them, they don't touch me or move me in any way."[34]
  • "I'm honest. I say what I feel. I try to be tactful, but I can't not say what I feel. I have a really big problem with that."[27]
  • "I've never wanted to do the same thing twice. If a script doesn't surprise me in some way, I simply can't commit to the project."[27]
  • "Women do feel like they're in a box. Society, Hollywood, some men... they want to wrap women up in a neat little package."[27]
