Nicollette Sheridan (born November 21, 1963, in Worthing, Sussex, England)
is a British actress who is probably best known for her role as "Edie Britt"
on the primetime dramedy Desperate Housewives. Sheridan's greatest fame has
come from primetime drama: she debuted in 1984's Paper Dolls and was very
popular as "Paige Matheson" on the CBS night-time soap Knots Landing. In
1990 she won the Soap Opera Digest Award for "Outstanding Lead Actress:
Prime Time" for that role; the following year she won in the "Outstanding
Heroine: Prime Time" category.
She is the daughter of British actress Sally Adams (a.k.a. Sally Sheridan),
but her father has never been identified. She is not, however, the grand-daughter
of the venerated British actress Dinah Sheridan as has been wrongly asserted
in the past.

She was also the step-daughter of the late actor Telly Savalas during the
length of her mother's marriage to Savalas, by whom she has a half-brother,
troubled actor Nick Savalas.
Sheridan was recognized by a "worst dressed" accolade from Mr. Blackwell in
2004.
On November 15, 2004, Sheridan was cited by the FCC for the introductory
skit which opened that evening's Monday Night Football telecast, in which
Terrell Owens and the Eagles played the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium. The
citation was later dropped on March 14, 2005. The skit -- which showed
Sheridan in ju and ABC was forced to apologize for airing it.
Sheridan was married to actor Harry Hamlin from 1991 through 1993, and dated
singer Michael Bolton for a time, with whom she has again been linked (as of
2006). Her longest relationship was a six-year involvement (1979 - 1985)
with teen idol Leif Garrett; she met him when she was fifteen years old and
for a time lived with him in his mother's home. Many years later, Sheridan
was involved in an unsuccessful attempt to get Garrett off of drugs. In
January, 2005, Sheridan announced her engagement to Swedish actor, Nicklas
Soderblom, but the engagement was called off in October, 2005.
Between the time of Knots Landing and Desperate Housewives, Sheridan's
appearance underwent a see noticeable change. As a result, Sheridan battled
media speculation that she had undergone extensive plastic surgery. |
