Sheryl Lee

What fascinates me about Sheryl Lee is how she built an entire legend out of a corpse. As Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks, she spends most of the show wrapped in plastic, yet through flashbacks and Fire Walk with Me she becomes its beating heart. A German-born actress who trained in Colorado and was discovered doing theater in Seattle, she is proof that one indelible role can outweigh a shelf of awards. I admire performers who haunt a story rather than dominate the marquee, and Lee belongs firmly in that quietly powerful camp for me.
