TWIN PEAKS SENSATION SHERRILYN FENN STEALS THE SPOTLIGHT WITH RARE SELFIE

Get ready for a blast from the past! Sherilyn Fenn, the sultry star of cult classic TV series Twin Peaks, has just shared a rare selfie with her fans on Instagram. The stunning actress, now 60, looked absolutely ravishing as she promoted her latest show in Los Angeles.

But let's be real - we're not here for Sherilyn's latest project (although we're sure it's fabulous). We're here to dish about the juicy details of her life, loves, and career. And boy, do we have some tea to spill!

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?

You may remember Sherilyn as lovestruck Audrey Horne on Twin Peaks, where she played a 18-year-old high school student who becomes smitten with FBI agent Dale Cooper (played by Kyle MacLachlan). But did you know that before her big break on the iconic show, Sherilyn was a Playboy Bunny at just 19 years old? Talk about a wild ride!

Sherilyn's love life has been just as eventful. She had a brief romance with Prince in 1985 (because why not, right?) and then met her true first love, Johnny Depp, on the set of the student film Dummies that same year. The two were engaged for three years before parting ways, with Johnny later moving on to date Jennifer Grey.

But Sherilyn's heart still belongs to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, whom she describes as her "first love" and the "love of my life." She even publicly supported him during his bitter divorce from Amber Heard in 2016, tweeting a photo of herself with Johnny and writing: "I know JCD is not capable of the things being written."

Sherilyn's career has been just as impressive. In addition to her iconic role on Twin Peaks, she's appeared in a string of beloved TV shows, including Friends (where she played a woman with an artificial leg who dates Joey and Chandler), Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Shameless.

On the big screen, Sherilyn has starred alongside some Hollywood A-listers, including Nicolas Cage in Wild At Heart, Laura Dern in Of Mice And Men (directed by Gary Sinise), and Courteney Cox in Shining Vale. Talk about a diverse filmography!

In her personal life, Sherilyn is the proud mom of two sons - Myles, 30, from her musician ex-husband Toulouse Holliday, and Christian, 17, from her ex-boyfriend Dylan Stewart.
