Sherilyn Fenn (born February 1, 1965) is an American actress best known for her iconic role as the enigmatic Audrey Horne in the cult TV series Twin Peaks (1990–1991, 2017), a performance that earned her Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. Born in Detroit to a musical family—her aunt is rock singer Suzi Quatro—she moved to Los Angeles at 17, dropped out of high school, and trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. Her early career was marked by B-movies and "sexploitation" films like Two Moon Junction, and she famously dated and got engaged to Johnny Depp after meeting him on a student film. She later starred in notable films such as Wild at Heart (1990), Of Mice and Men (1992), and Boxing Helena (1993), while also appearing in TV series like Rude Awakening (1998–2001) and Shameless (2016). After taking control of her career to avoid being typecast, she returned to the role of Audrey Horne in the 2017 Twin Peaks revival and recently appeared in the horror-comedy series Shining Vale (2022). Her journey from struggling in low-budget films to becoming a celebrated cult icon highlights her resilience and versatility in Hollywood.
