Sherilyn Fenn's portrayal of Audrey Horne is completely intoxicating. I am absolutely in love with her. Those eyes and that face are flawless. Just flawless. She is the personification of the term "classic beauty".
this scene is so surreal. You almost forget the jukebox is playing the music till she mentions it then she spends a cool minute just dancing to it with no dialogue in between.
I was about 11 years old when Twin Peaks started. This may have been the first time I fell in love! Audrey Horne was like an alien from the planet Gorgeous.
Truly iconic. TV was never the same after this. With her sultry slow lone dance in the middle of a cafe and her cherry-twisting scene, Sherilyn Fenn was at the center of two very important life-turning moments in the history of TV.
She was actually supposed to but Lara Flynn Boyle (Donna), who was dating Kyle MacLachlan during Season 2, nixed the idea. Word is that Sherilynn Fenn was none to happy about that because the storyline would've given her a lot more screen time and exposure.
Not to mention Lara had Kyle make up an excuse about the characters having too big an age difference, then hire an actress that was even younger that Sherilynn.
@@theflyxx I watched the show for the first time recently and read about that yeah. It's so surprising that they allowed an actress to push them into a decision like. Sherilynn Fenn described it as "stupid", seems like the two of them really didn't like each other very much. But you'd think that when Lara Flynn Boyle started with that whole thing they would've said something along of "sorry but you're just one of the actresses, you're not a writer, if you've got a problem with it then piss off!"...
@@samg9771 difference is annie isn't a high school student. doesn't matter how old the actresses are, audrey is a high school student and its completely out of character for coop to get with her.
This is because they took their cue from classics- Ava Gardner Killers era/Grace Kelly/Hitchcock/ Lena Horne Stormy Weather type real stuff. Mistake thinking things have to be made new by making it altogether different.
I just started watching Twin Peaks and this was one of the things that made me love Audrey's character. I liked her best in the first season. This kind of offbeat, malicious type of girl. Her odd dance and type of troublemaker.
definitely one of the best scenes just so strange and mesmerizing. Honest shame that she got diminished in season 2. She was so interesting in season 1. Still great character in second season. I heard her role got diminished due to Lara Flynn Boyle demanding more scenes.
My theory is that no one else can hear the music which makes it strange for everyone else. Audrey is actually dancing to the soundtrack as twin peaks in her dream. Isn't it dreamy?
@@databoy2001 You're right, I never considered it. Audrey has always been a little bit half baked. Dancing to her own imaginary tune is in character for her.
Great great great!!! I am female an looooove this scene. Not only guys do! ;-) David Lynch created the best show ever!!! I first saw it at age 13. In Germany.
I actually like the chemistry between Sherilyn Fenn and LFB. Sucks how much stuff got squandered in season 2, including their semi-friendship (/wtf sisterhood).
First time I came to the Seattle area was on a long Sept 1991 road trip. Saw the TP sights, dined at the diner and then hit the sights of Seattle. When it was time to go, as I was headed east out of town I thought I'd make one last stop at the diner, but it was closed. Instead I got to watch David Lynch & company film part of the FWWM scene where Mrs. Tremond presents Laura with the picture. Sheryl Lee was out of costume at that point as the camera was positioned to look over her shoulder at Mrs. Tremond and the picture. Saw a handful of other actors milling about with the crew as this was going on. Eventually I had to hit the road. Ended up having dinner at the Roslyn Café, in Roslyn, WA - where they filmed exteriors for Northern Exposure.
Yeah, what the hell was that about? I kept on waiting for her to stab Billy Zane's character in season 2. Thing about Twin Peaks is that after the main storyline ended and Lynch became less involved in the show, it mostly degenerated into a soap opera which is ironic because that's the style it had initially been parodying and subverting.
She absolutely was, she had just evolved. Look at her scenes with Bobby again as just one example of her mischief - in fact, she has more fun than ever in season 2 because she finally starts to gain some genuine confidence. I feel like so many people overlook the sheer development of her character in season 2, she was starting to mature into a woman and was stronger than ever with her activism.
Yeah I'm watching it all for the first time at the moment and I'm at the part when the Billy Zane character turns up. It sucks! Audrey totally changed for the worse, far less entertaining and just borderline boring. I understand yeah that people argue that she was maturing, growing up, etc but the fact that fans thought it was crap and ratings started plummeting means that it was definitely a silly way to go...
Lara Flynn Boyle was pissed that Audrey got more and more emphasis in the episodes, when she assumed the show would focus more on Donna. You can tell she's not very "giving" in the scene.
Even if this were true, this particular scene isn't about Flynn Boyle being 'pissed' and 'not giving', IMHO. It's about an adolescent girl (Donna) who lost her best friend Laura who went too far, and now Donna is recognizing some of Laura's puzzling behaviour in a girl with whom they weren't really friends with. She's confused and intrigued. And I think that both Fenn and Flynn Boyle are doing a great job in this epic scene, apart from all the true-or-not-true stories about actor's ego's on the set.
Source came from the fact that an entire arc of the series had to be cut because of Lara Flynn Boyle's trifling self. Originally, Cooper was slated to get together with Audrey, but Boyle (who was dating Kyle McLaughlan at the time) threw a huge hissy fit and convinced him to refuse to play the part if Lynch let it happen. And Lynch rewrote the script. Really, she's just some stupid starlet who overshot her expectations for her character. Audrey became way more popular than Donna, and she just couldn't stand that her boyfriend was going to have a story arc with her.
Ugh. I just found this.. "I love Billy Zane, I think he’s a sweetie, but… it was a silly thing that Audrey Horne and Agent Dale Cooper didn’t stay together, because that’s what should’ve happened. It happened organically, without anyone making a plan for it to happen. But they had to stop it because… [Takes a deep breath.] People got mad and jealous and… it was just stupid. Ugh." "I… I’m bad. I’m not supposed to say it. But David knows I tell what happens, and what happened was that Lara [Flynn Boyle] was dating Kyle [MacLachlan], and she was mad that my character was getting more attention, so then Kyle started saying that his character shouldn’t be with my character because it doesn’t look good, ’cause I’m too young. Literally, because of that, they brought in Heather Graham-who’s younger than I am-for him and Billy Zane for me. I was not happy about it. It was stupid."- SF I always thought Heather Grahams character seemed a little shoehorned in to Coopers life, the relationship always felt forced and was one of the weakest arcs of TP.. Oh wow, the ending of TP would have been so much more powerful if it had been "Where's Audrey?" at the end, fucking good job Lara. I hope she regrets being so immature.
ABC wouldn't have the balls to air a show this weird, off-kilter, and just plain DIFFERENT nowadays. It's a shame to see it become a dumping ground for run-of-the-mill sitcoms and dramas. This show is awesome, one of my favorites
The best thing about Twin Peaks at that time: Girls's performance as a symbol of femininity and beauty. They dressed in the 50's style. Including hairstyles.
SchlongDynasty I believe Charli has posted a picture of this scene on instagram. Maybe this character is part of her inspiration for her stage performances
I love both women. Audrey Horne is simply stunning, gorgeous and vivacous while Donna is a classic cutie. I know Lara Flynn Boyle has received a lot of flak over the years for many different reasons but back in those days she was simply lovely.
And you might remember James picked up the same track when he left Twin Peaks and got stucked and then trapped in another little town. The track is called 'I`m Hurt Bad' and it`s composed by Angelo Badalamenti.
It always struck me that Audrey was going to be more involved in things, as she starts dancing to this song, calling it dreamy... then at the end of the episode a sped up version of this song plays in the Red Room in Cooper's dream. And they're talking about the coffee which is compared to the entrance to the Black Lodge...
