En una entrevista que le han hecho a Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer), ha reconocido que después de Twin Peaks su vida ha ido cuesta abajo. Ha tenido que venderlo todo para sobrevivir debido a una rara enfermedad de la sangre (agranulocitosis) que le ha impedido trabajar con regularidad.
“I did a few independent films, but there’s no money in them. So everything was taken away — my health, my career, my finances. I had a little house, and I sold that and moved into a condo, then sold the condo … I kept downsizing and downsizing.” She even had to part with her Twin Peaks souvenirs: “I wish I still had them but I had to sell them too. I now live a very, very quiet, simple life in a tiny little guest house on somebody else’s ranch.”
“People always assume that, if you’re an actor who’s been on anything from which you’re recognisable, that you’re making all this money, and it’s just not true,” she said.
“There’s a very small number of actors who make that kind of money. Most actors I’m in touch with are struggling financially.”
