Biography for Denise Richards
Denise Lee Richards (born Feb. 17, 1971) is an American actress and former fashion model. She became famous in the late 1990s, after a string of movies 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!.

Early years
Denise was born in Downers Grove, Illinois, 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 (22 years ago) from El Camino High School in Oceanside, California. As a child, she was a "tomboy", the "only girl on the baseball team".

Before she was an actress, Richards was a fashion model. She spent the majority of the 1990 (21 years ago) appearing in lower-budget movies and TV shows like Saved by the Bell, TV movies, and guest starring in episodes of several TV shows such as Married with Children (1991, 20 years ago), a 5 second walk through. Her first starring role in a wide theatrical release was Starship Troopers in 1997 (14 years ago), which was followed by her role in the moderately successful cult movie Wild Things in 1998 (13 years ago).

Actress Denise Richards

Richards was cast as the nuclear-physicist Christmas Jones in the 1999 (12 years ago) James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough (1999, 12 years ago), which had a high box office gross. Though she considered her role "brainy", "athletic", and having depth of character, she was criticized as not credible in it. Her outfit, which often comprised a low-cut tank top and tight shorts, elicited comments. She was ranked as the worst Bond girl of all time by Entertainment Weekly in 2008 (3 years ago), and was chosen as "Worst Supporting Actress" at the 1999 (12 years ago) Razzie Awards for the role.

In addition to her movie 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 (6 years ago).

Throughout the early 2000s, Richards appeared in several movie roles which both parodied and utilized her image (wallpaper) as a sex symbol, including Valentine, Undercover Brother and Scary Movie 3. In dec. 2004 (7 years ago), she posed for a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, five months after giving birth.. Richards also posed semi-nude for the Jul. 2006 (5 years ago) issue of Jane magazine to raise money for the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation. In 1999 (12 years ago), she ranked 9 in Maxim's 50 Sexiest Women and in 2001 (10 years ago) 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 Mar. 24, 2009 (2 years ago). Richards sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field on May 1, 2009 (2 years ago).

Personal life
In 2002 (9 years ago), 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 Mar. 9, 2004 (7 years ago)) and Lola Rose Sheen (born Jun. 1, 2005 (6 years ago)).

In Mar. 2005 (6 years ago), Richards filed for divorce from Sheen. The couple briefly reconciled and were seeking marriage counseling to mend their relationship. However, on Jan. 4, 2006 (5 years ago), 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. 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; she has also been linked to actor John Stamos, whom she dated during her teenage years.

On Apr. 19, 2006 (5 years ago), Richards filed formal legal papers asking for a divorce from Sheen under the laws of the state of California. 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 (wallpaper) 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." Based on these allegations, Richards sought and received a restraining order against Sheen.

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."

On Nov. 8, 2006 (5 years ago), 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 (wallpaper) 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.

On dec. 1, 2007 (4 years ago), it was announced that Richards' mother, Joni, died from cancer.

In 2008 (3 years ago), 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 (3 years ago). He deemed her plans "greedy, vain and exploitative". On Jan. 25, 2008 (3 years ago), Richards won a court case against Sheen so that she can include her daughters in the show. When a judge rejected Sheen's request to block it, Sheen urged fans to boycott it.

An agreement was reached between Sheen and Richards regarding the custody of the children, with Sheen stating in Apr. 2009 (2 years ago) that “we had to do what’s best for the girls.”.

Model Denise Richards

In a May 18, 2008 (3 years ago) interview with Larry King on Larry King Live, Richards claimed to be raised Catholic and affirmed, "I do have faith."

Richards appeared on The Howard Stern Show on Jun. 4, 2009 (2 years ago) where she impressed Stern and the cast by speaking openly and humorously about her personal life (as Stern had previously ridiculed her marriage to Charlie Sheen and interview with Larry King). 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, said 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.

Richards also participated in a recurring Stern show gag game, entitled "Fuck, Marry, Kill", 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"), 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) 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 sex, prompting Stern show co-host Artie Lange to observe that "that Sambora is a true New Jersey pisan - he knows how to do it!". At one point during this interview, Lange also proclaimed Richards "the fucking best guest ever!". The Denise Richards interview was one of the highest rated segments in the recent history of the Stern show, 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).
