Although actress Elizabeth Taylor fought the unauthorized biography Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story, she found that Fenn aptly portrayed her. Her car accident scene in David Lynch's Wild at Heart came from director David Lynch's impression of Fenn as a porcelain doll, and from the idea of seeing a porcelain doll breaking. He kept telling her about that, and that's how the scene was born. Lynch said of the scene, "I just pictured her being able to do this. She's like a broken china doll". Lynch got the same inspiration for the car accident scene in Mulholland Dr.. His direction to actress Laura Harring was to act like a broken porcelain doll.

Apparently, Fenn's character inspired David Lynch for Laura Harring's character in Mulholland Dr., as Fenn said in an interview in 1997, "David was talking about 'Mulholland Drive', he talked about like 'Audrey goes to Hollywood'. She's driving along Mulholland in this convertible car... But it didn't end up happening." While filming NBC's Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story, Fenn fought daily to keep integrity in the script.
