Nicollette Sheridan (born November
21, 1963) is a British born American actress. She has appeared in movies
and television, and is perhaps best known for her roles as Edie Britt on
Desperate Housewives and as Paige Matheson on Knots Landing.
Sheridan was born in Worthing, West Sussex, England, the daughter of
British actress Sally Sheridan (née Adams). Sheridan attended school at
Millfield in Somerset and emigrated to the United States in 1973.
Sheridan made her debut in the US primetime soap opera Paper Dolls in
1984, but her breakthrough came in 1986, when she joined the cast of the
CBS primetime soap Knots Landing as "Paige Matheson". She started out in a
recurring role, but was a series regular by the 1988-89 season. For her
performance in the role, she won the 1990 Soap Opera Digest Award for
"Outstanding Lead Actress: Prime Time" and the 1991 Soap Opera Digest
Award for "Outstanding Heroine: Prime Time". The same year, she was named
one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People". After the series
ended in 1993, she appeared in several made-for-TV movies and the films
Spy Hard and Beverly Hills Ninja and auditioned for the role of Grace
Adler on Will & Grace (on which she would later guest-star).
In 2004, Sheridan's role as sexy model divorcee Edie Britt in ABC's
Desperate Housewives brought her renewed media attention. She was
nominated for a 2005 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and
was named #48 on Maxim's 2006 List. Less positively, she was named 2004's
"worst dressed" by Mr. Blackwell. She commented that: "I'd rather be
number one on the worst-dressed list than number two on the best."
Blackwell had earlier (TV Guide, July 22, 1989) praised her fashion sense:
"daring ... with her panache, she brings it off without a hitch. For the
adventurer in all of us, she's the one to watch".
Toward the close of the fourth season of Desperate Housewives, conflicting
reports circulated regarding Sheridan's future in her role. While
Hollywood.com reported in April that series creator Marc Cherry had said
Sheridan would depart at the end of the season, another source stated that
Sheridan was confident she would return for the series' fifth season. By
May 4, Entertainment Weekly reported that Sheridan would likely make
several appearances in the upcoming season, but not necessarily as a
regular cast member.
Actress Dana Delany, who plays Katherine Mayfair, confirmed that
Nicollette Sheridan would be back to reprise her role for Season 5 of
Desperate Housewives, and the Hollywood Reporter reported Nicollette's
character might be seducing another boyfriend, played by actor Neal
McDonough.
When season five aired, Sheridan did indeed reprise her regular role as
Edie, now married to McDonough's character.
In February 2009 Sheridan announced her departure from Desperate
Housewives. Her exit episode aired in April 2009 when Edie Britt was
killed off in the series.
From 1979 Sheridan dated singer and actor Leif Garrett; the two split six
years later. Two decades later Garrett credited Sheridan for helping him
at the start of his career, and said of her "She's a special person in my
life."
Sheridan was married to actor Harry Hamlin from 1991 to 1993.
She began seeing Swedish personal trainer Nicklas Söderblom in 2004 and
became engaged to him on New Year's Eve 2004; the pair called off the
engagement in October 2005.
After their break-up, Sheridan returned to ex-boyfriend Michael Bolton,
whom Sheridan had originally met in 1991. Bolton proposed on holiday in
the Bahamas in March 2006. Sheridan was quoted as saying: "It's much
sweeter the second time around." In 2006, Sheridan and Bolton sang a duet,
"The Second Time Around", for the album Bolton Swings Sinatra. In March
2008, Sheridan posed naked for a London Fog charity ad which also featured
Bolton. Sheridan and Bolton broke off the engagement, however, later that
year. |
