Trivia

Sherilyn Fenn was to have starred alongside Milo Ventimiglia and Rob Estes in the California-set spin-off "Windward Circle". After The WB dropped the project, Amy Sherman-Palladino wanted to work with Fenn again and wrote the character of Anna Nardini with Fenn in mind, in order to bring her back in the series. The character of Anna was originally to have a strong enough presence to be a potential threat to the character of Lorelai. However, after Sherman-Palladino left the show, the producers changed the direction originally intended for the character, as they decided to make her a villain in a custody battle.

Personal Quotes

About working with Sherilyn Fenn on "Gilmore Girls" (2000) - I love Sherilyn so much and I don't care [to cast her for two different roles on Gilmore Girls]. One thing about the show is I just want the best people. I've just been looking constantly for a time to work with Sherilyn, and I'm getting very old and I could just get hit by a truck at any minute. I just simply can't put it off that long, so I'd just rather get her in and have her part of my world.

The plan on [The Return of Jezebel James] is the same as Gilmore - to write, produce, do everything. It's love. I don't believe that bull----, 'If you love it, let it go.' If you love it, stay there and make sure no one else f---s it up.
