A polite reminder before reading this blog entry of mine 🙂 I will not tolerate any insults or negativity towards my subject of this post. This blog entry is strictly for dyed-in-the-wool Sheryl Lee fans like myself or fans in general. So once again, please be kind 🙂
One more thing: I will not tolerate any negativity towards Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me or Twin Peaks in general. Any negative comments will be deleted, so I am politely asking you all to be kind to the subject of my post 🙂
Most of my dear readers are probably aware of this by now, but I am a massive fan of not only legendary director David Lynch and Twin Peaks (read here, here and here), but also of the immensely beautiful and talented actress Sheryl Lee, who portrayed the doomed Laura Palmer on the aforementioned series. So what better way to honor than to wish Sheryl Lee a very happy 57th birthday. If Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me had been widely acclaimed during it’s initial 1992 theatrical release, it is undeniable that she would have gone on to have a prestigious career. Thankfully, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me has since been re-assessed as one of director Lynch’s greatest films. Lee deserved so much more after that, but then again, she was probably just too good for the mainstream. Even in brief appearances, Lee stands out. Based on all of the video links I am about to give, the words gorgeous, intelligent, kind-hearted, nice (and once again) talented are the ones that best describe Lee on a whole.
Since I would have to dedicate an entire different blog entry regarding every other four-star film she was in, I have decided to focus solely on her work in Twin Peaks. The one thing I can guarantee my dear readers here is that I gave everything Twin Peaks related * * * * (out of * * * *) stars. I would love to take this time to direct my dear readers to a bunch of links below regarding Lee and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me:
