90s TV bombshell, who starred in iconic series, unrecognisable in new photos

The Emmy and Golden Globe nominee is known for her role in Twin Peaks and Gilmore Girls, but she cuts an unrecognisable figure these days.

TV bombshell Sherilyn Fenn looked unrecognisable as she collected her mail.

Sherilyn, 59, best known for her role as Audrey Horne in Twin Peaks, was spotted stepping out in Los Angeles yesterday.

Looking relaxed in baggy distressed jeans and a white top, the actress sported a head of purple locks and wore crimson lipstick.

She accessorised with a delicate chain necklace and wore just a pair of socks while heading out to the street.

Over the course of the show, Sherilyn’s character Audrey Horne was a complicated character, whose life was changed forever after the death of Homecoming Queen Laura Palmer.

Soon, she found herself getting involved in the investigation, assisting FBI agent Dale Cooper (played by Kyle MacLachlan) and falling in love with him.

The character became famed for being able to tie a cherry stem with her tongue.

Since being on the show, Sherilyn later starred in the smash-hit movie adaptation of Of Mice And Men as Curly’s Wife.

Other credits for the star include an episode of Friends, sitcom Rude Awakening, Dawson’s Creek and Boston Public.

In 2003, she landed a massive role in Gilmore Girls as Anna Nardini, Luke’s ex-girlfriend who hid his extremely clever daughter, April, from him until she discovers his identity in a school project.

Fenn is known for playing Audrey in Twin Peaks with Kyle MacLachlan as FBI Agent Dale Cooper.

Putting a wedge between Luke and Lorelai Gilmore, Anna was massively protective of her daughter and was weary of having Like and Lorelai in April’s life.

Since then, the Emmy and Golden Globe nominee has continued to land roles in highly beloved series, getting jobs in Ray Donovan, Shameless US, Goliath, SWAT and Shining Vale.

In 2017, she returned to the world of Twin Peaks for the reboot, reprising her role of Audrey.

Speaking to Glamour Magazine before her return, she spoke of her pride of playing such an ‘empowering’ character at such a turning point for her career.

She said: “To be able to go back to something that so many people respect so much and say that he changed television…what a gift.

“There’s not a lot of work like that, that gets made. I’m just completely thrilled.”

Speaking on the legacy of Audrey, she said: “It’s a weird thing. I can’t speak for the ladies, [but] it made me so happy and proud that people responded to my work and liked my work.

“That was the first time it happened in my career. I’m 52 now, and I was 17 then. I learned early on this saying that quality work stands the test of time.”
