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.

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.
