Hollywood bombshell who was on Twin Peaks and dated Johnny Depp shares rare selfie, can you guess who she is?
A TV star from an iconic 1990s crime drama posted a rare selfie this week.
The beauty worked on the cult classic show Twin Peaks, which also starred Lara Flynn Boyle and Kyle MacLachlan.
And the photogenic sweetie also dated bad boy of Hollywood Johnny Depp.
This looker has also guest-star on such beloved TV series as Friends, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Gilmore Girls and Dawson's Creek.
This week she shared a rare photo to Instagram as she talked up her Los Angeles show.
The star has been seen in recent months with both blonde hair and brunette hair, making it even harder to recognize her.
Can you guess who she is?
She is Sherilyn Fenn.
The 60-year-old hard-working actress has been on several projects like Twin Peaks and Shameless.
She also starred in movies such as Of Mice And Men, Fatal Instinct, Boxing Helena and Two Moon Junction, and she has played Elizabeth Taylor in a movie.
On Twin Peaks played the lovestruck 18-year-old Audrey Horne on the 1990s series Twin Peaks.
Co-created by Hollywood auteur David Lynch, Twin Peaks starred Kyle MacLachlan as Dale Cooper, a dashing FBI detective investigating the murder of a teenage girl.
Sherilyn played the murder victim's classmate Audrey, who becomes smitten with Dale and assists his investigation by informing on her own father, a suspect.
Twin Peaks originally ran for just two seasons in 1990 and 1991, leaving viewers both beguiled and frustrated by failing to tie up a series of loose ends.
It earned a devoted fanbase and spawned a 1992 prequel movie called Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me before being rebooted for a single season in 2017 - though neither of those two projects included Sherilyn in the cast.
Born in Detroit, Sherilyn moved to Los Angeles with her family as a teenager and dropped out of high school to study acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, named after the legendary teacher who founded the Actors' Studio.
She briefly worked as a Playboy Bunny when she was 19 and began her Hollywood career in 1980s B-movies, such as the skater picture Thrashin' with Josh Brolin and the fantasy action film The Wraith with Charlie Sheen.
Sherilyn had a brief romance with Prince in 1985 - but it was later that year on the set of the student film Dummies that she met her true first love, Johnny Depp.
Johnny and Sherilyn embarked on a more than three-year romance and even got engaged before they ultimately parted ways and he moved on with Jennifer Grey.
During the time that they were together, Sherilyn got a career boost by guest starring on his classic 1980s high school TV comedy 21 Jump Street.
In recent years, she has described Johnny as her 'first love' and the 'love of my life,' and she publicly supported him when he and his ex-wife Amber Heard accused each other of domestic abuse in a bitter legal battle that he ultimately won.
When Amber leveled her allegations against Johnny in 2016, Sherilyn tweeted a picture of herself with him and wrote: 'I know JCD is not capable of the things being written.'
Her best-remembered role came in 1990 when she started appearing on Twin Peaks as Audrey Horne, and that same year she posed nude in Playboy, catapulting to an exalted status as a Hollywood star and nationwide pinup.
The year Twin Peaks began, she featured in the David Lynch movie Wild At Heart starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern.
And during that decade she also appeared in the 1992 movie of John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men directed by its leading man Gary Sinise.
From 1998 to 2001 she played the lead role of a faded soap opera star on the sitcom Rude Awakening, with a cast including Lynn Redgrave and Mario Van Peebles.
She guest-starred in a string of iconic TV series, including Friends, on which she played a woman with an artificial leg who dates Joey (Matt LeBlanc), then Chandler (Matthew Perry).
Sherilyn has also appeared on Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Psych and the US version of Shameless.
Since 2022, she has been starring on the horror comedy series Shining Vale alongside Courteney Cox, Greg Kinnear and Mira Sorvino.
In her personal life, she is the mother of two sons - Myles, 30, by her musician ex-husband Toulouse Holliday, and Christian, 17, by her ex-boyfriend Dylan Stewart.

Poker Face – Season 2 Episode 9 'A New Lease on Death' Recap & Review
Episode 9 The Murder Episode 9 of Poker Face Season 2 begins with an old woman named Anne and her granddaughter Madeline speaking with a lawyer. They live in a comfortable apartment in NYC, which is affordable due to rent control. Anne tells the lawyer she wants to adopt her granddaughter as her daughter. He quickly realises this is to maintain the rent control, which can only be passed down to a spouse or child. Later, when they're leaving the house, Anne stops by a fruit cart where she meets a woman named Kate. Two weeks later, Maddy comes home and walks in on her grandma having sex with Kate. Anne reveals that they are dating and that she's even asked Kate to move in with them. Kate and Maddy don't get on well, and eventually, the latter pays a tattooed man to find more information on Kate. Sometime later, Maddy confronts Kate with proof that she's faking her identity. Her real name is Amelia, she's been to prison, and even has a few warrants out for her arrest. Maddy accuses Kate of simply being after the rent-controlled apartment. She threatens to tell the authorities if Kate doesn't leave Anne immediately. She allows Kate one day to say goodbye to Anne. They have this argument in the laundry room where Kate notices the washing machine shakes during the spin cycle, enough to drop a can of coke sitting on top of it. The next day, she spills some descaler on the floor below the machine and places a bottle of bleach on top of it. She also messes with the lock on the laundry room door. She then tells Maddy to get her laundry while she 'breaks up' with Anne. Maddy goes down and as the spill cycle hits, the washing machine knocks the bleach to the floor. Mixed with the descaler, it creates a gas that ends up killing Maddy. The Investigation Charlie arrives in New York City, telling her radio friend Good Buddy that she's hoping all the lies will become white noise in the city. He tells her to use his NYC apartment in Brooklyn and she heads to the same building where Anne and Maddy stay. The landlord, Otto, catches her but she claims she's here just to water Good Buddy's cactus plants. She then goes to a nearby store run by a man named Abdul. There, she bumps into Kate, who is trying to scam her way into getting free fruit. Back at the apartment, Charlie is forced to hide from Otto and runs into the laundry room, where she meets Maddy. The laundry door locks them inside and Maddy complains that the landlord never fixes it. She uses her bike tools to break them out. Maddy invites her to watch Jeopardy with her grandmother. The tattooed man from earlier joins them and Charlie learns that he's Ricardo, a librarian who is good at research. Charlie then takes up a remote job as a captcha technician. When she returns to the apartment, she sees the place crawling with firefighters. One of them, a fellow resident in the building named Mickey, tells Charlie about the accident in the laundry room. A woman sitting nearby tells Charlie that the descaler and bleach reacted to produce chlorine gas, which killed Maddy. Charlie goes upstairs to give her condolences and is surprised to see Kate open the door to Anne's house. Kate doesn't let her meet Anne. Charlie then comes across Otto, who insists he had fixed the lock on the door. Charlie knows he's telling the truth and they go to the laundry room where Otto points out the door has a new handle, a different model from the one he'd bought. While cleaning Maddy's things, Kate finds the paper with her real identity on it. She notices Ricardo's name, since he accessed the information, and threatens him to keep quiet. Meanwhile, Charlie tries to find out from Abdul if anyone bought the new door handle. He has face blindness, so it takes a while but Charlie eventually realises it was Kate. Charlie heads back to the building and tries to speak to Ricardo about her suspicions about Kate. Before he can say anything, Kate (who was eavesdropping) pulls the fire alarm which forces them all to leave the building. Afterwards, Kate returns and is happy that the apartment is basically hers now. But her bubble bursts when she sees Otto showing a new tenant around. Anne reveals that she's too upset because of losing Maddy and wants to move out of the apartment. Kate is frustrated and tries to pressure Anne into marrying her immediately. She runs out to get the forms and when she's back, Charlie is waiting with Anne. She's told her everything. Anne asks Charlie to step into another room and confronts Kate. Kate tells Anne it's all a lie and asks her to go get her laundry while she deals with Charlie. After Anne leaves, Kate pushes Charlie off the balcony. But thanks to Charlie's good friend Mickey — who had laid out an inflatable platform to catch her — Charlie's absolutely fine. In fact, Anne has seen the whole thing and her lawyer, who was hiding in the apartment, has recorded Kate's attempted murder. In Charlie's words, she's cooked. Poker Face Season 2 Episode 9 ends with Charlie helping Anne pack up her things as the new tenant makes plans for redoing the apartment. The Episode Review Poker Face Season 2 Episode 9 is a fun ride, even if it is a bit more straightforward than some of Poker Face's other episodes. This one has fewer twists and turns compared to even last week's episode, which offers a solid plot twist and unexpected reveal at the end. And there are a few details, like the woman who gives Charlie a free coffee, that aren't tied up in the larger plot. Awkwafina feels a bit underused as well. It's still quite an enjoyable episode, though, particularly with that New York aesthetic and how Charlie meets a firefighter who wanted to be a tap dancer and a woman who used to be a journalist but now peels potatoes outside the building. It's also nice to see that Charlie and Good Buddy are still in touch, although we could use some more information about him. The humour is pretty on brand as well and that one joke about Vague magazine will stay with me for a while. All in all, another solid Charlie Cale adventure.

The 20 best superhero TV shows of all time
Superheroes might have been a screen staple since the 1950s but capes, tights and masks never go out of style. Indeed, a ceaseless production line of Hollywood blockbusters have made them the dominant genre of the early 21st century. Marvel's latest TV effort is Black Panther/Iron Man spin-off Ironheart, following science student Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) as she invents an Iron Man-style armoured suit. But what are the best shows ever to pow, zap and fly into our living rooms? Here's our countdown of the all-time TV top 20. How did we select our 20? As Spider-Man's Uncle Ben always had it, 'with great power there must also come great responsibility' (although, sorry, Spidey, you haven't made our cut). We've looked at the entirety of the superhero genre on TV, determined not to fall into the cliché of just relying on Marvel and DC staples. That means, you'll find some more whimsical family favourites nestling between the stern jaws and pumped pecks of some of our line-up. Heartfelt apologies, however, to SuperTed, the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon (of 'does whatever a spider can,' fame) and the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno The Incredible Hulk series; all of which just fell outside our selection. Turns out there's one super-villain that can't be beaten: The capricious TV critic! 20. He-Man & The Masters of the Universe (CBS/ITV, 1983-1985) 'By the power of Grayskull!' The biggest, daftest cartoon of the Eighties was this fantasy romp based on a Mattel toy range. When helmet-haired, muscle-bound Prince Adam held aloft his sword and uttered the magic words, he transformed into the universe's most powerful human and foiled the evil plans of cackling villain Skeletor. It spawned literal sister series, She-Ra: Princess of Power, plus films, reboots and even more toys. Ker-ching. 19. Moon Knight (Disney+, 2022) If you can overlook leading man Oscar Isaac's creaky Cockney tones, which creep into Dick Van Dyke territory, there is much to enjoy in this tragicomic Marvel miniseries. As a mercenary with dissociative identity disorder, Isaac had a ball giving each alter ego a different personality (and accent) as he unravelled a mystery involving nocturnal warriors and Egyptian gods. Wild, weird and witty. Cor blimey, Mary Poppins. 18. Wonder Woman (ABC/CBS/BBC One, 1975-1979) 'All the world is waiting for you / And the power z you possess / In your satin tights / Fighting for your rights / And the old red, white and blue.' It's since had a Hollywood reboot – hasn't everything? – but the DC Comics adaptation about an Amazonian princess coming to America is a true cult classic. Lynda Carter became a pop culture icon as the feminist heroine, battling crime with her bullet-deflecting bracelets and golden lasso. Huge fun and just camp enough. 17. The Thundermans (Nickelodeon, 2013-2018) This surprisingly sophisticated teen-com followed the titular superpowered family as they attempted to live a normal existence in the fictional city of Hiddenville. While the parents struggled not to use their powers, their wisecracking children enjoyed exploring theirs – or, in the case of son Max, dreamed of becoming an evil supervillain – complete with a sassy talking rabbit. 16. Daredevil (Netflix, 2015-2018) British actor Charlie Cox excelled as blind New York lawyer Matt Murdock, who used his heightened senses to lead a double life as a masked vigilante. His nocturnal crusade set him on a collision course with crime lord Wilson Fisk (a skin-crawlingly creepy Vincent D'Onofrio). The bruising combat scenes, memorably a pulverising corridor fight, were widely acclaimed. It was recently resurrected for Disney+ sequel series Daredevil: Born Again. 15. Preacher (AMC/Amazon Prime Video, 2016-2019) A trio of Britons led this western-style comic book adaptation. Dominic Cooper starred as Texan preacher Jesse Custer, who was infused with a supernatural gift during a crisis of faith. He sets out on a quest to understand his new-found cosmic powers, joined by gun-toting ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga) and vagabond Irish vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). Gleefully gory, it blended horror with humour to hugely entertaining effect. 14. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (CBS/BBC One, 1987-1996) It was conceived as a superhero parody but soon took on a life of its own. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo – a Renaissance-named quartet of anthropomorphic turtle brothers, trained in ninjutsu (still with us?) – became 'heroes in a half-shell' by fighting evil from the sewers of New York City. The cartoon became a playground phenomenon, birthing a turtle-powered franchise of comics, films, games, toys and even breakfast cereal. Cowabunga indeed. 13. Agent Carter (ABC/Fox UK, 2015-2016) The Marvel universe did period drama – and did it jolly well – in this stylishly rendered series about Captain America's love interest. Our own Hayley Atwell was winningly charismatic as all-action spy Peggy Carter, battling baddies and post-war sexism at the Strategic Scientific Reserve. A perky, pulpy romp with a knowing wink and pleasing Britishisms ('Crikey O'Reilly!' was among her catchphrases). 12. Jessica Jones (Netflix, 2015-2019) The most noirish of the first wave of Marvel series, this brooding, slow-burn thriller followed a traumatised ex-superhero, superbly played by Breaking Bad's Krysten Ritter. Hard-drinking Jessica Jones fought her demons by working as a private eye in Hell's Kitchen. Our sardonic anti-heroine faced off against a worthy foe in David Tennant's monstrous, mind-controlling Kilgrave. 11. Super Gran (ITV, 1985-1987) Is there nothing she cannae do? Like a Beano comic strip come to life, this Tyne Tees caper saw a sweet old lady (Gudrun Ure) acquire superpowers when zapped by a magic ray. As she kept the town of Chisleton safe from villainous Scunner Campbell (Iain Cuthbertson), the series was sold worldwide and won an Emmy. A gallery of guest stars included Billy Connolly, George Best and Barbara Windsor. It just edges out SuperTed, Bananaman and Danger Mouse in our 'quintessentially British children's TV parody' slot. 10. Heroes (NBC/BBC Two, 2006-2010) 'Save the cheerleader, save the world.' Creator Tim Kring's pre-Marvel, post-Lost fantasy yarn was impossibly exciting when it first touched down on our screens. As a seemingly ordinary group of civilians slowly became aware of their special abilities, it delivered globe-straddling, comic book-style thrills. Later series got too wrapped up in mystical mumbo-jumbo and its own mythology but for a while back there, Heroes was ambitious, blockbuster television. 9. The Penguin (HBO/Sky Atlantic, 2024-present) Arguably this dark psycho-drama doesn't quite qualify because its anti-hero is technically a baddie. But the show's sheer quality means we've turned a blind eye. A Sopranos-esque mob saga stars Colin Farrell, near-unrecognisable under heavy prosthetics, as disfigured gangster Oz Cobb on his rise through Gotham City's criminal underworld. Fox drama Gotham – another Batman prequel, this time starring Ben McKenzie as a young Chief Gordon – isn't half bad either. 8. Misfits (E4, 2009-2013) This very British riff on the genre began with a group of gobby young offenders doing community service. When stuck outdoors during a strange electrical storm, they acquired a supernatural power apiece. Think X-Men with an Asbo. Howard Overman's scripts fizzed with street humour, while the bright young cast – Iwan Rheon, Antonia Thomas, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Lauren Socha and scene-stealer Robert Sheehan – would go on to bigger things. 7. WandaVision (Disney+, 2021) Marvel's first Disney+ series was unexpectedly eccentric and an utter delight. Witchy Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and android Vision (Paul Bettany) were the Avengers-turned-homemakers, trying to conceal their true natures while living in a sitcom-style suburban idyll. Each episode paid loving homage to TV history, slowly peeling back the couple's domestic bliss to expose the darker truths beneath. A love story wrapped in a David Lynchian mystery, this was a thoughtful exploration of grief and nostalgia. 6. Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (ABC/BBC One, 1993-1997) This sparky screwball-style spin on the Man of Steel made stars out of Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher, who were hugely charming as Daily Planet colleagues Clark Kent and Lois Lane. The pair's will-they-or-won't-they romance provided the backdrop to Clark secretly donning the costume to fight for justice. Airing at Saturday teatimes in the pre-Strictly era, it united the generations. As Superman TV series go, it eclipses teen prequel Smallville, which ran for a few series too long and lost its way. 5. Watchmen (HBO/Sky Atlantic, 2019) Alan Moore's graphic novel masterpiece is traditionally described as 'unfilmable', so Lost creator Damon Lindelof called his miniseries a 'remix'. Smart, cinematic and endlessly surprising, his wild reimagining dropped the masked vigilantes into present-day Oklahoma. A cast led by Regina King, Don Johnson and Jeremy Irons served up a boiling brew of racial tension and dystopian chaos. Defying expectations of a comic book adaptation, this was bold, bravura TV. 4. Supacell (Netflix, 2024-present) The newest UK entry on our list transcended superhero tropes to become something truly ingenious. Created by musician and director Rapman, the distinctive drama saw five South Londoners suddenly develop supernatural abilities. Their contrasting reactions to their newfound powers were compelling. Raising awareness of sickle cell disease while acting as a metaphor for black Britishness, this was supa-smart social commentary. 3. The Boys (Amazon Prime Video, 2019-present) Incongruously, one of Amazon's biggest hits is this near-the-knuckle, anti-capitalist twist on the familiar superhero formula. A welcome antidote to dark origin stories and cinematic pomposity, The Boys is like Marvel's lippy teenage brother, with a taste for ultra-violence and transgressive sex scenes. Pitting the commercialised 'Supes' against a band of black ops vigilantes, it's a nihilistic satire with plenty to say about institutional corruption and corporate America. And it usually says it in luridly vulgar language. In Antony Starr's sociopathic Homelander, it also boasts one of the best villains on TV. 2. Legion (FX/Fox UK, 2017-2019) Writer Noah Hawley, who masterminded the award-winning Fargo anthology and the upcoming Alien: Earth, is one of the most boundary-busting showrunners on TV. His 'anti-Marvel Marvel series' was built around a stunning star turn from Downton Abbey alumnus Dan Stevens as the schizophrenic son of X-Men leader Charles Xavier. Imprisoned in a psychiatric facility, he tried to control his mutant powers and fight the sinister forces who wished to harness them. Dramatising the inner workings of the human mind, it was visually dazzling and utterly unique. 1. Batman (ABC/ITV, 1966-1968) Holy top spot, Batman! Nowadays the Caped Crusader is a brooding, traumatised creature of the night. Once upon a time, he was actually fun. Starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as sidekick Robin, this swinging Sixties crime caper followed the Dynamic Duo as they defended Gotham City from a rogue's gallery of camp supervillains. With hammy performances, tongue-in-cheek humour, a killer theme song and shameless cliffhangers, it gleefully embraced its comic book origins, coming to define the genre for the next three decades. Its only rival in the TV Batverse is Nineties modernisation, Batman: The Animated Series. Ker-pow!

David Lynch memorabilia sells for over £3m at auction including Twin Peaks items
Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) hosted an auction of more than 450 items linked to the US director, which fetched a combined $4.25 million dollars (£3.16 million) A treasure trove of memorabilia belonging to the late legendary director David Lynch has raised a staggering £3 million at a glitzy Los Angeles auction. Over 450 pieces were on the block in the Peninsula Beverly Hills event, run by Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies, culminating in a cool $4.25 million (£3.16 million) windfall. The director was best known for his artistic vision and the direction behind Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet. Lynch's family confirmed the news on Facebook in January 2024, writing: "There's a big hole in the world now that he's no longer with us. But, as he would say, 'Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.'" The top lot was a collection of 11 scripts from his abandoned film project, Ronnie Rocket: The Absurd Mystery Of The Strange Forces of Existence, which went under the hammer for an eye-watering $195,000 (£145,206). Memorabilia from the acclaimed Mulholland Drive also commanded hefty sums, with three scripts alone netting $104,000 (£77,443), one bearing the urgent caution: "We are very concerned about preserving the integrity of this screenplay. Please do not let anyone read this script – it is for your use only." Winkie's diner, a setting familiar to fans of Mulholland Drive, had its prop menus sell for $7,800 (£5,808), while an original diptych portraying Naomi Watts and Laura Harring fetched $16,250 (£12,100). But that's not all, a red leather director's chair emblazoned with Lynch's name travelled to cinematic hotspots around LA before being snapped up for a stunning $91,000 (£67,762), showcasing the enduring allure of the filmmaker's legacy. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! Catherine Williamson, managing director of entertainment at Julien's Auctions, remarked: "Every object in this collection served as a window into Lynch's surreal and uncompromising creative world – whether from his ground-breaking films, television work, or personal studio. "The global response to the auction speaks not only to the cultural importance of his legacy, but to the profound admiration and reverence he inspires among fans, collaborators, and collectors alike." At the auction, script copies of the pilot episode of Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks TV series, originally titled Northwest Passage before being renamed to Twin Peaks, fetched a staggering $91,000 (£67,762), while scripts from its prequel film Fire Walk With Me raked in $78,000 (£58,082). A personal 35mm print of Lynch's debut feature film Eraserhead was snapped up for an impressive $52,000 (£38,721). The renowned US director passed away at the age of 78 earlier this year, following an emphysema diagnosis five months prior, which he attributed to "many years of smoking".
