Heather Dean Locklear
was born on September 25, 1961 at 5:40pm-PST in Canoga Park,
California, a suburb of Los Angeles, USA. Her parents are Bill,
& Diane Locklear. Bill is director of the career placement
office at UCLA and Diane was a homemaker and is now an administrative
assistant at Disney. They have four children and Heather is
the youngest. She has two sisters, Laurie and Colleen and one
brother, Mark.
During her collegiate days at UCLA, she started modeling for
the school store.
She has been romantically
involved with Scott Baio, Tom Cruise, Mark Harmon but she ultimately
turned to her romantic interests to rock and roll. She married
rocker Tommy Lee of the rock group Motely Crue in 1986 and that
marriage lasted until 1993. After their divorce, she married
rocker Richie Sambora of the rock group Bon Jovi on December
17, 1994. On October 4, 1997, she gave birth to her first child,
a girl, Ava Elizabeth. She has two dogs. One of her dog's names
is Kitty, whom is a Yorkie dog. Her other dog is a Matese dog
named Harley.
In a "Parade"
magazine article, the blue-eyed, blonde- haired actress admits
she is part Native American. Locklear says her last name is
very common to members of a tribe called the "Lumbee",
and she traces her roots back to that tribe way back on her
father's side. She attributes her Caucasian-dominated looks
to her mother's side of the family, which is predominantly Scottish.
Recent appearances
on the Jay Leno show and the Late Late Show have not indicated
what the future holds for Heather. For now she is content with
having the time with her family.
