“It’s just more fun to be bad,”
Heather Locklear recently said,
and although she was speaking of
her characters (on shows from
Dynasty to T. J. Hooker to Spin City),
her own life has been anything but
mellow. She dated a teen heartthrob (Scott Baio), married two
rock stars (Tommy Lee and Richie
Sambora), and is mother to a
model (daughter Ava). Despite
bouts with depression, anxiety,
and meds, she’s the consummate
pro, says her old Melrose Place and
Spin City costar Perry King: “The
difficulty is, she’s so heartbreakingly beautiful, you stammer your
way through your own dialogue!”
