Take\u00a0the scene where Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) goes undercover as a new employee of the One Eyed Jacks brothel, and\u00a0ties a cherry stem into a pretzel-style knot with her tongue to convince the madam (Victoria Catlin) to hire her. This takes place\u00a0in &#8220;Twin Peaks&#8221;\u00a0season 1, episode 6 (&#8220;Realisation Time&#8221;), and is easily one of the defining Audrey moments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, behind the scenes, Fenn wasn&#8217;t particularly enthused about the cherry stem trick.\u00a0In an interview with the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/sherilyn-fenn-talks-david-lynch-and-how-twin-peaks-shou-1798266317\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:A.V.

Club, Lynch&#8217;s vision of Audrey Horne was based on Fenn herself, only filtered through Lynch&#8217;s own uncompromising vision,\u00a0which could sometimes be eerily accurate. Fenn&#8217;s own choice for the most important Audrey moment, in fact, is the one where the character puts a pencil through a styrofoam coffee cup and pulls it out in the &#8220;Twin Peaks&#8221; pilot episode. This is specifically because it was the kind of thing she might very much do herself:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;[Audrey] was who she was because of\u00a0 [Lynch]. What you read on a piece of paper is one thing, but when I got there, they couldn&#8217;t find saddle shoes, and he&#8217;s like, &#8216;You <em>have<\/em> to have saddle shoes!&#8217; And you see that there are these certain things that are so specific to him. One of the biggest things, though, was taking that pencil in the coffee cup. [Laughs.] One of my two older brothers was like, &#8220;That&#8217;s so like you!&#8221; He meets me, this stranger, and sees something, knows what it is, and puts her in. That was really kind of cool.&#8221;\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Memorable though it may be, the cherry stem trick indeed doesn&#8217;t rank among Fenn&#8217;s personal favorite Audrey moments. This may be because it wasn&#8217;t particularly like her, while some of the other things Audrey did hit far closer to home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you&#8217;re looking for the easiest way to keep up with all the major movie and TV news, why not <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.slashfilm.com\/newsletter-syndicated\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:sign up to our free newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">sign up to our free newsletter<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1967834\/sherilyn-fenn-didnt-perform-audrey-horen-cherry-stem-trick-twin-peaks\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:original article on SlashFilm;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">original article on SlashFilm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Twin Peaks,&#8221; like just about any work by the late, great David Lynch, contains multitudes.
