Sherilyn Fenn was born to Arlene Quatro. She comes from a family of musicians: her mother is keyboard player Arlene Quatro and her aunty is a singer. Her father and grandfather managed such rock bands as Suzi Quatro’s The Pleasure Seekers, Alice Cooper and The Billion Dollar Babies.
Fenn frequently travelled with her mother and two older brothers before the family settled in Los Angeles when she was 17.
Not wanting to start with a new school again, Fenn dropped out after her junior year and decided to pursue acting, enrolling at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
There isn’t much information about her mother but Sherilyn is an American actress and author. She came to attention for her performance as Audrey Home on the television series, Twin Peak and many others.
