There are so many blonde actresses on our database that we are considering breaking them down the categories base on their age or their states. If we started this today, Sheryl Lee would be filed under Under 60-Year-Old Blondes or Foreign-Born Blonde. Curious ways to tag categories but we are getting there. For now, we have a job to do. Here are five facts you need to know about the Mother Night star.
Sheryl Lee was born in Germany
Sheryl Lee was born in Augsburg, a city in the state of Bavaria, in the then West Germany. She was born Sheryl Lynn Lee in April 1968. Her mother was an artist and her father an architect. She is number one of the three children her parents gave birth to. One of her siblings is the producer, editor, and cinematographer Paul Lee whose credit include the 2015 movie “Fishing Naked”.
While a child, her family returned to the United States where she grew up and had her education in the city of Boulder, Colorado.
Sheryl Lee is 52 years old.
Sheryl Lee wanted to be a dancer
Sheryl Lee has always wanted to be an entertainer. But being an actor was not always her specific desire. It was dancing that she loved and trained in and could have made a great dancer if not for a knee injury that was said to put an end to her pursuits to that regards. This might have been the time she settled for acting.
After high school, Lee studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Pasadena, California, then attended the North Carolina School of the Arts, Winston-Salem, the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver, and the University of Colorado in her home town.
Done with education, she moved to Seattle, Washington DC where she earned a living acting on stage and doing commercials – throw in one or two short videos. Then “Twin Peaks” happened and her career changed forever.
She entered the industry wrapped in a plastic
Sheryl Lee appeared in “Twin Peaks” the horror drama series as a corpse – “Dead, wrapped in plastic”. The makers of the film wanted to cast a local blonde girl as the dead girl in the series. They chose Lee and she played the role of a dead girl, her image on the plastic wrap so captivating that the filmmakers wrote flashback roles for her and later created a special role as a cousin to the dead girl. In all, she appeared in 18 episodes including the prequel movie of the series.
The 1990s was her finest decade on set. She was in the romantic war film “Mother Night” which was an adaption from Kurt Vonnegut’s novel of the same title. She played a role in “Vampires” the independent western horror film. For her role here, she was voted in 2008, on UGO.com as one of the Top 50 Sexiest Vampires of all time. Other notable TV series she featured in include “One Tree Hill” (9 episodes), “L.A Doctor” (22 episodes) and “Dirty Sexy Money” (12 episodes).

She was married to the son, Jesse Diamond which made Neil Diamond her father-n-law. They got married in 2000 and are blessed with a son named Elijah. The two are no longer married.
