|
Denise Lee Richards (born February
17, 1971) is an American actress and former fashion model. She came to
fame in the late 1990s, after a string of films that highlighted her sex
appeal, including Wild Things and The World Is Not Enough. Richards is
also known for her marriage to (and divorce from) actor Charlie Sheen.
Richards was born into a family of Welsh and Croatian background. She
moved to California with her family when she was 14. She graduated from El
Camino High School in Oceanside, California, where she became a
cheerleader.
Before she was an actress, Richards was a fashion model. Richards spent
the majority of the 1990s appearing in lower-budget films, television
movies, and guest starring in episodes of several television shows. Her
first starring role in a wide theatrical release was Starship Troopers in
1997, which was followed by her role in the moderately successful cult
film Wild Things in 1998. Richards was subsequently cast as Dr. Christmas
Jones in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999), which had a
high box office gross and contributed to Richards' renown. In addition to
her film work, Richards has made regular appearances in the situation
comedies Spin City, Two and a Half Men, Friends and Seinfeld. She also
starred in the short-lived UPN series Sex, Love & Secrets in 2005.
Throughout the early 2000s, Richards appeared in several film roles which
both parodied and utilized her image as a sex symbol, including Valentine,
Undercover Brother and Scary Movie 3. In December of 2004, she posed in a
nude pictorial for Playboy magazine. Richards also posed naked for the
July 2006 issue of Jane magazine to raise money for the Clothes Off Our
Back Foundation. In 1999 she ranked 9 in Maxim's 50 Sexiest Women and in
2001 she was voted 2nd in FHM's USA 100 Sexiest Women, 5th in FHM 100
Sexiest Women and 19 in AskMen.com 50 Most Beautiful Women.
Richards dated actor Patrick Muldoon. In 2002, she married actor Charlie
Sheen, with whom she appeared in Scary Movie 3, where she played his
character's dying wife. The couple have two daughters: Sam J, who was born
on March 9, 2004, and Lola Rose, who was born on June 1, 2005. Richards
was named the Sexiest Mom of 2005 by In Touch Weekly magazine.
In March of 2005, Richards filed for divorce from Sheen. The couple
briefly reconciled and were seeking marriage counseling to mend their
relationship. However, on January 4, 2006, Richards' representative
announced that she was continuing with the divorce, and she has recently
sought a restraining order against Sheen, citing his use of death threats
against her. She has since been linked to actor John Stamos, whom she
dated during her teenage years.
Richards reportedly enjoys kickboxing and has several dogs.
On April 25, 2006, it was reported that Richards is romantically involved
with Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora who had recently separated from
Heather Locklear. |

Denise Richards - Personal Quotes |
|
|
|
"Doing love scenes is always
awkward. I mean, it's just not a normal thing to go to work and lay
in bed with your co-worker."
"I found out early I could make more money modeling than I could
waitressing and scooping Haagen-Dazs. But I always wanted to be an
actress."
"I'm spontaneous. I love going from one thing to something else and
not knowing what I'm going to do next." |
