But She’s Too Young!
Cooper’s love story with Audrey Horne was protested by Kyle MacLachlan. The actor believed that Sherilyn Fenn’s character was simply too young to take part in any type of romance. Ironically, the next love interest he would take was Heather Graham.
The actress was five years Fenn’s junior and she looked incredibly young when taking on the role. Perhaps there were other motives for MacLachlan’s protest of working with Fenn. He may have also realized that his attempts to get his way failed, or maybe he realized the vision David Lynch had for the TV show’s characters by that time.
