Denise Richards's BIO Her role in 'Wild Things'
February 17, 1971 (Downers Grove, Illinois, USA) Denise Richards's BIO |
 |
Background:
Starring in a James Bond movie is one way to get your name forever remembered and being married to actor Charlie Sheen might prove to be
another, but the ups and downs of good choices versus bad, will not be the backbone factor.
Denise Richards has a large resume, one is just not sure if much of it is worth stating. She has played good parts on TV and movies, but she has also been plagued with the mundane, but one does gives her credit for having baby daughter Sam in 2004 and it is rumored she is looking great after the magical event.
Whether her career rises, or ebbs and flows, one can't help but wish
her the best. She is lovely to look at, loves Charlie, animals, and is now a mom. It's just downright hard not to like her to at least
some degree.

Denise Lee Richards, nicknamed Fluffy Girl, was born on February 17, 1971 in Downers Grove, Illinois. Her parents, Irv (former telephone

attended Herrick Junior High School then Tinley Park High School for her freshman year. At age 15 Denise's family moved to Oceanside,
California where Denise graduated in 1989 from El Camino High School.

"I'm so glad I grew up in the Midwest. People are so much more grounded, more family-oriented than out in California." Denise Richards, Chicago Tribune
"I found out early I could make more money modeling than I could
waitressing and scooping Haagen-Dazs. But I always wanted to be an actress." Denise Richards
