Biography of Denise Richards
Denise Lee Richards was born February on 17, 1971 in Downers Grove, Illinois. She is an American actress and former model.
Denise Richards was born in Downers Grove, Illinois, to Joni, a coffee shop owner, and Irv Richards, a communications engineer. She has German, French Canadian, Irish, English, and Welsh ancestry. The family name was originally Reichert. She grew up with her parents and sister Michelle first in Downers Grove and later in California. In 1989 she graduated from El Camino High School in Oceanside, California.
Richards first began a career as a model with the "Judith Fontaine Modeling & Talent Agency". In addition to her modeling career, she also began working as an actress. In 1993, she played Molly Dalrymple on the sitcom Seinfeld in the episode "The Beautiful Shoes." In 1994 she had a role in the series Superman - The Adventures of Lois & Clark. She made her screen debut with a small role in the comedy Loaded Weapon 1 (1993).
Her first leading film role came in 1997 as Carmen Ibanez in the action film Starship Troopers opposite Casper Van Dien. In 1998 she starred alongside Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell and Kevin Bacon in the thriller Wild Things. She also appeared in the music video for the Blues Traveler song Canadian Rose.
Richards played Bond girl Dr. Christmas Jones in the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough opposite Pierce Brosnan and Sophie Marceau. The film was an international hit, but Richards received generally negative reviews for her role. She was nominated in two categories for the Golden Raspberry Negative Award, of which she received one; she was also voted the "worst Bond girl of all time" by Entertainment Weekly magazine in 2008.
In addition to her film career, she has had recurring roles in television series, including appearing in Friends and Spin City in 2001 and having a role in two episodes of Two and a Half Men (2003-2004).
As the new millennium began, Richards frequently played roles that parodied her image as a sex symbol. In 2001, she played Paige in the horror film Scream If You Can. Starring alongside her were David Boreanaz, Katherine Heigl and Marley Shelton, among others. In 2003, she had a cameo appearance in Scary Movie 3 and had a small role in Love Actually with Hugh Grant.
From 2013 to 2014 she played the role of Karen Desai in the short-lived television series Twisted. In 2019, she took on the role of Shauna Fulton in the TV series The Bold and the Beautiful and became one of the protagonists of the reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
In 2002, Richards married actor Charlie Sheen, with whom she had previously starred in the comedy Good Advice (2001). Their two daughters were born in 2004 and 2005. In March 2005, Richards filed for divorce from Sheen after they had been separated since late 2004. The marriage has been legally divorced since December 2006.
Richards dated Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora from 2006 to May 2007. In 2011 she adopted a little girl. She has been married to actor Aaron Phypers since 2018.
