David, Sheryl was originally cast as Mary Alice, the dead Desperate Housewife, but she was replaced because they thought her voiceovers were too ethereal.

But she's a frakking ghost! Aren't ghosts supposed to be ethereal?

I always mix Sheryl Lee with that other girl from TP... er, Sherilyn Fenn? Whichever one was in the atrocious Boxing Helena and slept with Pacey while he was the chef's apprentice. Also, with that other annoying, anorexic chick from Practice. Also sher-something. Possibly. They all have these predatory, pinched faces, although perhaps not as much for Sheryl Lee.

I thought she was replaced because she quit the show. (And if they replaced her because they didn't like her voice, why did they recast the role with someone who sounds exactly the same?)

Sherilyn Fenn, of the incredible Playboy shoot and the bad movie choices, played Audrey Horne of the saddle shoes and cherry stem.

Lara Flynn Boyle, of The Practice fame and the infamous butt bleaching, played Donna Hayward, Laura Palmer's best friend.

Madchen Amick, who has little fame or infamy, but is very pretty, played Shelly Johnson, the younog married waitress who was doing Bobby Briggs.

Huh. I heard the infamous butt bleaching story about Angelina Jolie.

Of all the AJ gossip I've read on E Online, butt bleaching hasn't come into it. However, with LFB, Ted wouldn't shut up about it for *years*.

That was back when LFB was still sleeping with that unattractive, overrated JN dude.

Thanks, Plei. Those Twin Peaks girls have always confused me. (Except Joan Chen. Humina, humina.) Good thing they all still have a career. Of sorts.

Amick is always playing 'the other woman' in one thing or another. I think the last place I've seen her was on Gilmore Girls. And Lara Flynn Boyle. Urgh. She's the one who wore a tutu to an award ceremony, right?

At least Sheryl Lee will always have Backbeat. She was mesmerizing as Astrid. The director, Iain Softley, went on to make what turned out to be my favorite flick among the 90's Merchant/Ivory-esque Henry James/EM Forster adaptation boom, The Wings of the Dove. It's too bad the last thing he had to show for himself was K-PAX.

Madchen Amick, who has little fame or infamy, but is very pretty,

HUBBA HUBBA!

Madchen Amick was also in the horribly underrated and very frustratingly short-lived new Fantasy Island series, with Malcom MacDowell.

I don't know what others thought of it, if they even watched it at all, but I found it to be wonderful and hilarious, and KILLED TOO SOON! (As was my wonderful and very beloved Cupid, with Jeremy Piven).

I watched Fantasy Island, hoping to love it, but I think I must admit my MacDowell love only goes as far as Clockwork Orange and Tank Girl. I found the show emotionally uninvolving.

Oh, MALCOLM.

My brain was thinking Andie, and I was getting confused.
