Denise Lee Richards (born February 17, 1971)1 is an American actress and former fashion model. She became famous in the late 1990s, after a string of films that highlighted her sex appeal, including Starship Troopers, Wild Things, and The World Is Not Enough. She also has her own reality TV show, Denise Richards: It's Complicated which is broadcasted on American channel E!.
Contents |
Early life and career
Richards was born in Downers Grove, Illinois,2 the daughter of Joni, a coffee shop owner, and Irv Richards, a telephone engineer. She has one sister, Michelle, and grew up in both Mokena, Illinois and Downers Grove, Illinois. She graduated in 1989 from El Camino High School in Oceanside, California. As a child, she was a "tomboy", the "only girl on the baseball team".3
Before she was an actress, Richards was a fashion model. Richards spent the majority of the 1990s appearing in lower-budget films and TV shows like Saved by the Bell, television movies, and guest starring in episodes of several television shows such as Married with Children (1991), a 5 second walk through. 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 1998.4
Richards was cast as the nuclear-physicist Christmas Jones in the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999), which had a high box office gross. Though she considered her role "brainy", "athletic", and having depth of character,5 she was criticized as not credible in it.67 Her outfit, which often comprised a tank top and shorts, elicited comments.8 She was ranked as the worst Bond girl of all time by Entertainment Weekly in 2008,9 and was chosen as "Worst Supporting Actress" at the 1999 Razzie Awards for the role.10
In addition to her film work, Richards 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 2004, she posed for a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, five months after giving birth.11. Richards also posed semi-nude 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 appeared on the 8th season of Dancing with the Stars, paired with Maksim Chmerkovskiy. She was eliminated second on March 24, 2009.
It has been reported that Richards is set to star in a film entitled Backstabbers, reuniting her with Neve Campbell.
Richards sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field on May 1, 2009.
Personal life
In 2002, Richards married actor Charlie Sheen, with whom she appeared in Scary Movie 3, in which she played his character's wife who was pinned to a tree in a car accident. They have two daughters, Sam J (born March 9, 2004)12 and Lola Rose Sheen (born June 1, 2005).13
In March 2005, Richards filed for divorce from Sheen.14 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 later sought a restraining order against Sheen, citing his alleged death threats against her.15 Richards briefly dated Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora shortly after their respective separations from Sheen and Heather Locklear, ending what Locklear had considered to be a close friendship. Richards once dated actor Patrick Muldoon;16 she has also been linked to actor John Stamos, whom she dated during her teenage years.17
On April 19, 2006, Richards filed formal legal papers asking for a divorce from Sheen under the laws of the state of California.18 In her court filing, Richards alleged that Sheen's behavior was increasingly erratic, making their marriage impossible, and that she feared for her safety and the safety of their daughters.
Richards claimed that Sheen was physically and verbally abusive and threatened to kill her or have her killed, and that despite having accidentally shot his previous fiancée, Kelly Preston, he wanted to place firearms under their coffee table to protect them. Richards claimed that Sheen had become paranoid and obsessive, citing his belief in 9/11 conspiracy theories, a belief that baby formula caused brain damage, a desire to purchase gas masks, and an "abnormal fascination" with Nicole Simpson's death.
Further, Richards alleged that Sheen visited prostitutes and was addicted to gambling, prescription drugs (which he bought over the Internet), and pornography. Richards also alleged that Sheen posted a picture of his erect penis on his online profile of a "sex-search type" website and that he frequently viewed pornography featuring "very young girls," and websites "involving gay pornography also involving very young men who also did not look like adults."19 Based on these allegations, Richards sought and received a restraining order against Sheen.20
Sheen denied the allegations. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he described Richards' actions as a "smear campaign" and insisted that he was a responsible father who would "give his life for his children." He added that Richards is "the only one entirely culpable for putting these radical allegations out for public consumption... my children included."21
On November 8, 2006, officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were called to the River Rock Casino in Richmond, B.C., where Richards was making a movie. After seeing two photographers taking her picture from a nearby balcony, she confronted them, and threw their two laptop computers over the balcony. One laptop struck an 80-year-old woman in a wheelchair. The other laptop grazed the arm of a 91-year-old woman. Neither woman suffered serious injury, and no charges were pressed against Richards.222324
On December 1, 2007, it was announced that Richards' mother, Joni, died from cancer.
In 2008, Richards decided to include her two daughters with Charlie Sheen in her confessional reality program on E!, Denise Richards: It's Complicated, which premiered on May 26, 2008. He deemed her plans "greedy, vain and exploitative".25 On January 25, 2008, Richards won a court case against Sheen so that she can include her daughters in the show.26 When a judge rejected Sheen's request to block it,27 Sheen urged fans to boycott it.28
An agreement was reached between Sheen and Richards regarding the custody of the children, with Sheen stating in April 2009 that “we had to do what’s best for the girls.”.29
In a May 18, 2008 interview with Larry King on Larry King Live, Richards claimed to be raised Catholic and affirmed, "I do have faith."30
Richards appeared on The Howard Stern Show on June 4, 2009; where she impressed the cast and audience by speaking openly and humorously about her personal life (as Stern had previously ridiculed her for her marriage to Charlie Sheen, interview with Larry King and use of her children in a reality show). She admitted to having two breast augmentation surgeries as well as one reduction (which she said she greatly regretted and encouraged other young women not to have done), "experimenting" with bisexuality and homosexuality, claimed that she never had a relationship with Scott Baio (although they had been on a few dates together) and said she was never close friends with Heather Locklear. She also openly and honestly discussed her sexual practices and preferences, acknowledging a "few" lesbian experiences when a young woman 31 and also discussing some sexual practices that she enjoys, including use of sexual toys 31. She also revealed for the first time in public that she "actually really likes" anal sex and engages in it fairly regularly (although she "prefers the other opening")31. Richards also confessed a passion for oral sex, saying she loved to give blow jobs31, and that she always swallows completely upon the man's completion, thinking that it is an insult to her partner to spit out or otherwise not swallow her lover's ejaculate, unless they want to orgasm elsewhere.31. She went on to describe meny of the men she has had relationships with as being "good lovers", singling out for particular praise Richie Sambora, John Stamos and somewhat grudgingly ex-husband Charlie Sheen. She continued to insist that she and Scott Baio never engaged in anything more than kissing, and that he was "full of s**t" if he was claiming anything more happened.31
Richards also participated in a recurring Stern show gag game, entitled "F**k, Marry, Kill"31, in which she is given three names and she had to decide which she would kill (Charlie Sheen, her ex-husband, although she said things are "great with Charlie now")31, which she would simply have wild sex in a hot one night stand with (John Stamos, whom she dated when younger and is still good friends with)31 and whom she would marry (she chose Richie Sambora, whom she also dated in the past, immediately after he broke up with Heather Locklear. Richards also revealed that Sambora often insisted on her wearing high heels in bed during sex31, prompting Stern show co-host Artie Lang to observe that "that Sambora is a true New Jersey pisan - he knows how to do it!"31. At one point during this (fast becoming legendary) interview, Lang also proclaimed Richards "the f***ing best guest ever!"31. The Denise Richards interview was one of the highest rated segments in the recent history of the Stern show31, including the move from terrestrial radio to Sirius satellite radio. This interview is also one of the most popular segments on Howard TV (a subscription on-demand cable/satellite channel). 32
