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.
