Sherilyn Fenn Biography
Born: February 01, 1965
Actress Sherilyn Fenn had her first taste of show business while touring the country with her mother, a rock musician. Fresh out of high school, Fenn decided to put her stunning physical attributes to good use as a Playboy bunny, but, alas, she failed to survive the first year of "bunny school." After posing for perfume and designer jean ads, Fenn made her film debut in The_Wild_Life (1984). She skyrocketed to fame in the early '90s as Audrey Horne in David_Lynch's cult TV series Twin_Peaks. (Her singular series highlight was the scene in which she tied a knot in a cherry stem with her tongue.) Fenn played a seductive wife in Gary_Sinese's 1992 version of John_Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, and the following year replaced a recalcitrant Kim_Basinger in the role of a haughty beauty whose arms and legs are amputated by a love-obsessed surgeon in Boxing_Helena, directed by David_Lynch's daughter, Jennifer_Lynch. The apex of Fenn's '90s roles, however, may well have been her take-no-prisoners 1995 TV performance as screen goddess Elizabeth_Taylor. Hal Erickson, Rovi
