On a recent episode of the popular talk show “Letterman”, actress Heather Locklear made a delightful appearance. Locklear is best known for her role as the tough but sexy Amanda on the wildly popular show “Melrose Place”. She also recently graced the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, displaying her stunning beauty.
During the interview, Locklear and host David Letterman engaged in a lively conversation. They started off discussing how Locklear’s name seems to be popular among TV shows, with various characters named Heather or even just Paul. Locklear revealed that there was another actress named Heather Thomas, who starred in “The Fall Guy” eight years ago.
Letterman couldn’t help but wonder if there was any tension among the cast members of “Melrose Place” due to their shared names. Locklear laughed it off and mentioned how there were actually two more women named Heather featured on the Rolling Stone cover alongside her. The rest of the cast of “Melrose Place” includes Laura Leighton, Josie Bissett, Daphne Zuniga, and Courtney Thorn Smith.
The conversation then steered towards the show itself, with Letterman questioning Locklear about the connection between “Melrose Place” and “Beverly Hills, 90210”. Locklear clarified that “Melrose Place” is not a spin-off of the popular show but rather a separate entity. However, Grant Show’s character from “Beverly Hills, 90210” did make a crossover to “Melrose Place”.
Locklear, who portrays the owner of the apartment complex in the show, admitted to not watching it regularly due to her community service work, which includes picking up cans on the highway. Despite that, she proudly shared that “Melrose Place” has garnered similar ratings to “Beverly Hills, 90210”.
Letterman couldn’t help but praise Locklear’s impact on the show’s success. Before she joined the cast, the ratings were just so-so. However, her addition turned out to be a game-changer, and the ratings skyrocketed, solidifying her as the franchise of the show.
The conversation then took an interesting turn as Locklear discussed her recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live”. She admitted that she was more nervous during her interview with Letterman than during the live sketch comedy show. Locklear recalled one particular skit where she dressed up as Mike Myers’ friend Lyla Klein, fooling both the audience and her own mother.
Locklear went on to share some behind-the-scenes details of her experience on “Saturday Night Live”, revealing that the show can be quite unpredictable. Skits are often cut or changed at the last minute, and there’s a reliance on cue cards. She admitted that memorizing all her lines and finding the right cue cards was a challenging task.
To lighten the mood, Letterman showed a clip from a recent episode of “Melrose Place”. The clip, which belonged to the big season finale, showcased Locklear’s character engaged in a sticky situation involving syrup. The scene was filled with drama and humor, leaving the audience wanting more.
Overall, Heather Locklear‘s appearance on “Letterman” was a delightful and engaging conversation. Her charm and talent were evident as she effortlessly entertained the audience and left them eagerly awaiting her next endeavors on both “Melrose Place” and beyond.
