Fenn's interest in directing and children led her to step behind the camera to direct in 2006 a documentary film about the child enrichment program CosmiKids and Judy Julin, the program's founder. She subsequently joined its executive team as executive director of the film and television division. In 2006, Fenn reteamed with Amy Sherman-Palladino and reappeared in the sixth and seventh seasons of Gilmore Girls as Anna Nardini, the ex-girlfriend of Luke Danes (played by Scott Patterson) and protective mother to his daughter April. Since the failure of the 2003 Gilmore Girls spin-off project, Sherman-Palladino had continued to want to work with Fenn again, and she wrote the character of Anna with her in mind. [44] When asked why she cast Fenn for two different roles on Gilmore Girls, Sherman-Palladino explained: Two Familiar Faces Return To 'Twin Peaks' From Beyond The Grave". Bloody-Disgusting.com.

Fenn has described many of these early films as sexploitation films "where directors tried to convince [her] to appear naked after the contract was signed." [6] In a February 1993 interview she explained:

The same year, she was cast as the female lead in ABC's show Prey (originally entitled Hungry for Survival) and starred in the unaired original pilot episode. However, after the filming was done and post-production work almost wrapped up, the studio heads abruptly changed course, replacing Fenn with Debra Messing and reshooting the entire pilot. Prey went on for one season before getting cancelled. After Twin Peaks, Fenn chose to focus on widening her range of roles and was determined to avoid typecasting. She stated, "They've offered me every variation on Audrey Horne, none of which were as good or as much fun." [16] She turned down the Audrey Horne spinoff series that was offered to her, and unlike most of the cast, chose not to return for the 1992 prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, as she was then shooting Of Mice and Men.

[25]Fenn frequently traveled with her mother and two older brothers before the family settled in Los Angeles when she was 17. [4] 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.

Lucid, sculptural, unpresumptuous Sherilyn Fenn made her movie debut at 17. In Yugoslavia. Playing a shy rich girl, a sort of Yugoslavian coed Lord of the Flies. “I remember blowing my first scene. I said, ‘Cut!’ I didn’t know the director was supposed to say that.” Haynes, Monica (July 21, 2006). "Sherilyn's "Dukes," Xtina's disc and an unexpected visit for Colin". Post-Gazette.com . Retrieved February 20, 2014. Audrey's been great for me. She has brought out a side of me that's more mischievous and fun that I had suppressed, trying to be an adult. She has made it OK to use the power one has as a woman to be manipulative at times, to be precocious. She goes after what she wants vehemently and she takes it. I think that's really admirable. I love that about her. [10] Sherilyn never considered following in her mother’s platformed footsteps: “My mother was a product of the time she grew up in. You were supposed to get married, have children and that was it. She married right out of high school. She was a virgin and so was my father. They had three kids by the time they were twenty-three and twenty-five. They had no idea who they were; consequently, they spent the rest of their lives trying to find themselves.” The nudity in Two Moon Junction was really scary, but that’s one of the reasons I did it. I didn’t want to make choices that would always put me in a place that was comfortable and secure. I had never done nudity. I’m not the kind of person who runs down the beach in a G string, so I thought, God, how would I respond in these situations? I thought interesting would happen and I would grow. Interesting things did happen. I cried at the end of all my love scenes.”

Fenn posed for photographer Steven Meisel for the autumn–winter 1991–1992 Dolce & Gabbana campaign. [20] I was disillusioned with acting after the pilot of Twin Peaks. I'd been doing low-budget films. I didn't want to walk through movies being a pretty ornament. At 25 I didn't know if I had it. I questioned if there was depth, if there was integrity to me. I was longing to go inside, to do deeper work. [21] David Walstad. "Legendary Portrayal." The Philadelphia Inquirer TV Week (US). May 21, 1995. pp. 4–5. a b Fonseca, Nicholas (June 18, 2017).

Fenn dated pop singer Prince for a short time during 1985 and then Johnny Depp the same year; their relationship lasted several years.

Nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV – Twin Peaks The film was not a hit. Nor were the 13 or so other films she was in over the next seven years. Some weren’t released. Some went straight to video. But she got a lot of on-the-set experience in teen-exploitation movies playing “the pretty one who likes the guy” or “the cute and spunky one,” but her repertoire grew up fast with Two Moon Junction, a sort of combination Gone with the Wind and Emmanuelle directed by Zalman King, the screenwriter and producer of 9½ Weeks. Her mother’s sisters, one of whom was Suzi Quatro, had an all-girl band. At one point, they lost their keyboard player and Sherilyn’s mom joined up. Sherilyn’s father managed the band. Mom served a two-year hitch until Suzi moved to England. A lot of people said some really bad things about me for doing such a sexy movie. But I decided to do it because I wasn't comfortable with the material. [9] I didn't want to make choices that would always put me in a place that was comfortable and secure. I thought interesting things would happen and I would grow. Interesting things did happen. I cried at the end of all my love scenes. [10]
