Heather Locklear Profile |
Heather Locklear
Heather Locklear (Born: Sep 25, 1961 in Los Angeles, California) starred on two of television's sudsiest prime-time soaps: the 1980s hit Dynasty and the 1990s hit Melrose Place. (In the mid-80s she also starred with William Shatner in the cop show T.J. Hooker.) She joined Melrose Place in the middle of the show's run and was generally agreed to have saved the show from cancellation. She also brought fresh energy to the Michael J. Fox sitcom Spin City, joining the show mid-run in 1999. Locklear was married to rock star Tommy Lee from 1986-93; he later got hitched to actress Pamela Anderson. Locklear married Richie Sambora of the band Bon Jovi in 1995; they were divorced in 2007. Blonde and buoyant actress Heather Locklear had the distinction of co-starring simultaneously in two weekly series within a year of her 1981 TV debut. Locklear played Steven Carrington's long-suffering wife Sammy Jo on Dynasty, then went down the block to essay the role of ever-imperiled lady cop Stacy Sheridan on T.J. Hooker. Since that time, Locklear has made several efforts to establish herself as a comedienne, ranging from a forgettable sitcom to her wiselipped heroine in Return of the Swamp Thing (1991). When not participating in series television, Locklear has functioned as spokesperson for the Health and Tennis Corporation of America. Locklear was for several years married to rock star Tommy Lee; after their breakup she wed yet another rocker, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. Lee in turn married another blonde TV icon, Baywatch star Pamela Anderson. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide |
