In 2020, Fenn attended the inaugural Fayetteville Comic Show along with numerous actors from Twin Peaks (James Marshall, Ray Wise, etc.) [62]

She also had film roles in Wild at Heart (1990), Of Mice and Men (1992), Boxing Helena (1993), the television sitcom Rude Awakening (1998–2001), The United States of Leland (2003), Shameless (2016), and Shining Vale (2022). The nudity in Two Moon Junction was really scary, but that’s one of the reasons I did it. I didn’t want to make choices that would always put me in a place that was comfortable and secure. I had never done nudity. I’m not the kind of person who runs down the beach in a G string, so I thought, God, how would I respond in these situations? I thought interesting would happen and I would grow. Interesting things did happen. I cried at the end of all my love scenes.” But once candid, able and collected Sherilyn Fenn saw the premiere episode, she realized that she was part of something important, that she was doing the first work that she really liked in her whole life. And it wasn’t hard. Sherilyn says, “Sometimes after an episode, David will call and say, ‘Sixty million.’” I liked the hard-core truth of Rude Awakening. But when I first read it, I was scared of it. Part of me was, like, it's so unattractive! But I liked that it didn't glamorize alcohol. And what's admirable about Billie is that she's a straight shooter. She doesn't have a lot of pretense. It's like, 'Take me as I am. You like me, fine! You don't, I don't give a damn!' 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. [31]

She appeared in the 2007 Dukes of Hazzard prequel, The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning as Lulu Hogg. "It's just a fun silly role," Fenn said. But having already worked with director Robert Berlinger on Rude Awakening, she wanted to do so again. [49] Singer and composer Screamin' Jay Hawkins wrote and recorded the 1993 song entitled "Sherilyn Fenn", featured on his album Stone Crazy. The song is an ode to Fenn, who worked with Hawkins in Two Moon Junction. Following Rude Awakening, Fenn's has made a number of episodic TV appearances. In the middle of the 2000s, she was involved in many projects that went unrealized. Alert, unblinking, pacific Sherilyn, for her part, now loves Twin Peaks and its pretty citizen Audrey Horne. “She’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 had 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.” 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. In the next breath, this person said to me, 'When you're passionate about a role, there's nobody that can touch you, but you have to learn to do this also...' But I don't know how to sit there and pretend I love something when I don't! [31]

About Sherilyn Fenn

O'Brien, Glenn (January 25, 2018). "When 'Twin Peaks' Actress Sherilyn Fenn Posed for Playboy". Playboy (Sweden). Fenn's interest in directing and children led her to step behind the camera to direct in 2006 a documentary film about the child enrichment program CosmiKids and Judy Julin, the program's founder. She subsequently joined its executive team as executive director of the film and television division. Ausiello, Michael (January 18, 2006).

In 2016, Fenn wrote and published a children's book titled No Man's Land, about a boy who has autism. [52] She was inspired to write the book after her second son, Christian, was diagnosed with autism. [52] a b Sherilyn Fenn, quoted in "Fenn-Tastic! Meet Twin Peaks' Mysterious Siren Sherilyn Fenn" by Glenn O'Brien Playboy. December 1990. pp. 82–91, 213–214.However, after Sherman-Palladino left the show, the direction for the character changed—the producers decided to make her character a villain in a custody battle. In 1991, Hollywood acting coach Roy London chose her to star in his directorial debut Diary of a Hitman, in which she plays a young mother determined to protect her child from hitman Forest Whitaker. According to Fenn, the turning point in her career was when she met London in 1990. She credits him with instilling confidence and newfound enthusiasm. She began to alternate TV movies and independent films. In 1996, she joined the ensemble cast in the romantic comedy Lovelife as a waitress who attempts to become a writer and has to rebuild her life. Fenn also appeared in the 1997 romantic comedy Just Write, along with Jeremy Piven, as the dream actress of a Hollywood tour bus driver, who mistakes him for a famous screenwriter. Both films have been well-received on the festival circuit. Fenn starred in the 1998 British psychological drama Darkness Falls as a wealthy and neglected wife, who is sequestered with her husband (played by Tim Dutton) by a man ( Ray Winstone) determined to understand the events that led to his wife ending up in a coma. Fenn called the film "a wonderful character piece" [15] While shooting the film in the Isle of Man in late 1997, Fenn considered settling in London to start a European career, but eventually decided to stay in the U.S. [17] [39] Return to television: Rude Awakening (1998–2001) [ edit ]
