Development
Spin-off series and Mulholland Drive concept
Originally, Audrey was set to have a spin-off series, but it eventually was scrapped. The concept for the series turned into David Lynch's 2001 film Mulholland Drive. In David Lynch: The Man from Another Place, Dennis Lim states that "While working on Twin Peaks, Lynch and Frost also toyed with the idea of a spin-off series for Sherilyn Fenn's character, Audrey Horne, that would transplant the backwoods femme fatale to Hollywood. They planned to call it Mulholland Drive. While Lynch began to adapt the idea into a feature script, he abandoned it in order to make Lost Highway.[7]
Theme music
Angelo Badalamenti composed the leitmotifs Audrey's Dance, Audrey's Prayer, and Audrey for the character.
Reception
Sherilyn Fenn received critical acclaim for her performance as Audrey, and she received nominations for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film.
