And no sooner do I go back to watching then I see an actress that always made me wonder, "Whatever happened to that girl?" Sherilyn Fenn was in Rude Awakening, a series that aired on Showtime from 1998-2001. Fenn was suuuuuuuh-moking as a recovering alcoholic who was absolutely not allowed to date the guy who owned the coffee place (who, now that I think about it, was a very Luke-like character). It was ridiculously funny, and extremely raunchy. Her raging alcoholic of a mother was played by Lynn Redgrave, of all people. One of my favorite lines comes from this exchange, when Billie (Fenn) yells that she inherited her alcoholism from her mother:
(pointing) "Alcoholism is a disease, and SHE gave it to me!"
"Don't be ridiculous, darling! We never even drank from the same glass!"
My other favorite line I can't write here. Raunchy show, remember? Anyway, it's good to see Fenn again, especially on one of the few non-sports shows I watch regularly.
