Biography

Early life

Lee was born in Augsburg, Bavaria, West Germany, the daughter of an artist mother and architect father.[1] She grew up in Boulder, Colorado, United States, where she was a graduate of Fairview High School (class of 1985).

Acting career

Lee is remembered by legions of David Lynch fans for her appearance as the dead Laura Palmer in the cult television series Twin Peaks. When the series was picked up, Lee was also given the part of Laura's cousin Maddy Ferguson later in the series (a role which was reportedly written because Lynch, impressed with her abilities, wanted to give her a fuller role on the show). She also starred in the prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, which elaborated on events leading up to Laura Palmer's death.

Other prominent roles have included playing the part of Astrid Kirchherr in the 1994 movie Backbeat, a bio-pic of the early career of The Beatles opposite Stephen Dorff, the part of Liza in Gary Walkow's 1995 adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novella Notes from Underground opposite Henry Czerny, the role of Katrina in John Carpenter's 1998 film Vampires opposite James Woods and Daniel Baldwin, and the role of Marlene Cadena in the 2003 television series Kingpin opposite Yancey Arias and Bobby Cannavale. Sheryl Lee also starred alongside Craig Sheffer in Bliss (1997). Lee starred opposite Anthony Michael Hall as the sweet but vengeful housewife Eve Robbins in the 2001 USA Cable movie Hitched. She played the part of Ellie Harp, Peyton Sawyer's (played by Hilarie Burton) biological mother, on the WB Network series One Tree Hill (2005-2006).

In 2001, she presented the I Love 1990 segment of the BBC's popular I Love 1990s series. In 2004, Lee was the original choice for the role of Mary-Alice Young on Desperate Housewives. It would have been the second time she would have played a dead character on a series, however the producers ultimately chose to replace her with Brenda Strong.

Personal life

Lee dated David Duchovny. She is divorced from Jesse Diamond, a photographer and son of singer and songwriter Neil Diamond. They have a son, Elijah. They were married only 1 year.

Lee practices kundalini yoga. She is an avid member of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and has assertively campaigned against fur and mistreatment of animals.
