But her personality on\u00a0<em>Melrose Place<\/em>\u00a0was badass \u2013 every time she appeared onscreen, it felt like things got more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Heather went on to receive four Golden Globe nominations for playing the cold-hearted Amanda Woodward on\u00a0<em>Melrose Place<\/em>, so there\u2019s no doubt that she could act. But her career is difficult to fully comprehend without going into her private life.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1980s, Heather was often seen in the arm of rock greats; she was married to M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce drummer Tommy Lee, who she divorced in 1993, and went on to marry Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora.<\/p>\n<p>The couple tied the knot in 1994 at a civil ceremony in New Jersey and then had a formal wedding with family and friends in Paris. The\u00a0<em>Melrose Place<\/em>\u00a0star wore a candlelight white gown designed by Nolan Miller \u2013 the same man who created the lavish costumes for Dynasty.<\/p>\n<p>Heather and Richie were married for 13 years, during which they had their only child, daughter Ava Sambora.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-127945 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/05\/19093112\/shutterstock_98646104.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"1000\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/05\/19093112\/shutterstock_98646104.jpg\" data-eio-rwidth=\"656\" data-eio-rheight=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-heather-locklear-daughter\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heather Locklear daughter<\/h2>\n<p>Ava Elizabeth Sambora was born on October 4, 1997. I think\u00a0it\u2019s safe to say\u00a0that she didn\u2019t experience an average childhood. When she was a kid, Ava was often seen on-stage during concerts with Jon Bon Jovi. Sometimes, she introduced them to the audience and even danced with the band members.<\/p>\n<p>Being the daughter of two big stars, her not-so-average upbringing\u00a0could easily have been a nightmare.

After that, she decided to pursue a master\u2019s degree in marriage and family therapy at the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n<p>The young woman has also dipped her toes into the acting industry, and apparently, has followed in her famous mother\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old made her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm4579142\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">acting debut<\/a>\u00a0in the movie<em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1758830?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">This Is 40<\/a><\/em>, and in 2010 she walked the runway for her father\u2019s clothing line, \u201cWhite Trash Beautiful,\u201d at Los Angeles Fashion Weekend.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, she recently shared an image of herself in a dress holding a bunch of tulips.
