One of Hollywood’s most coveted beauties in the past was the star of the movies “Dynasty” and “Melrose Place.”
Perfect facial traits that made Heather Locklear instantly recognized, vibrant, and even special. The attractive woman had a large following, and she was unable to avoid the admirers who clamoured for her autograph.
Such popularity turned the head of the luxurious blonde. Along with star disease, gaps in work began. Producers stopped offering roles to Locklear, and after that the actress was practically left without work.
Such a sharp drop from popularity to obscurity hit Heather hard, she began to abuse alcohol and illegal substances. The actress could appear on the street with an unwashed and disheveled head.
Locklear’s problems were instantly reflected in her appearance. The face of the once beautiful woman swelled up, deep wrinkles appeared, and the contour swam.
Now the star of the series is 61 years old. For the past few years, Heather has been trying to take care of herself, but dangerous hobbies have not been able to pass without a trace. The appearance of the actress has changed beyond recognition. But still, the refusal of alcohol and illegal substances helped Locklear at least return to work, even in second-rate low-budget series.
So the star of “Dynasty” was photographed while going to the store. The Hollywood star wore a black cap, T-shirt and elongated tight shorts. Locklear’s figure has changed a lot, but for her age she looks pretty good.
The actress did not forget about makeup either, shading her eyes with a black kayal. But this makeup turned out to be so unsuccessful that it emphasized all the swelling and wrinkles under Heather’s eyes.
Fans seeing this photo were shocked and could not believe their eyes!
Lassie’s little Timmy reveals the secrets of TV’s most famous dog
For nearly two decades most of us can remember tuning in to see the latest adventures of the most famous dog on TV – Lassie.
This much-loved Rough Collie dog and her human companions graced our screens for 17 seasons from 1954 to 1973 and even made the transition from black and white to color in the ’60s.
But who could forget the adorable little boy who joined the show in its fourth season when he and his family adopted Lassie – 7-year-old Timmy Martin.
Now Jon Provost, who played Timmy, has celebrated his 74th birthday and shares the joy he had filming with his four-legged friend and how he was discovered by Hollywood at just 3 years old.
The Los Angeles-born actor said when he was 3 years old he was taken to an audition for a Jane Wyman movie because his mom was a huge fan and hoped to get her autograph. But, out of the 200 kids auditioning for the part, Jon got it.
It was far from evident that Jon would become an actor. His father worked with something completely different – he was an aeronautical engineer.
”My parents weren’t Hollywood people. My father is from Alabama and my mother is from Texas,” Jon said.
At age 4, he landed a role in a Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby movie.
“I didn’t have an agent. I got one and that led to more movies like The Country Girl with Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly. I did about 12 movies before I started ‘Lassie’”, he told Fox News.
Three different Lassies
Recalling the bonds he formed with the three different male dogs that played the part of the female Lassie, Jon said he developed the biggest bond with the last dog to play Lassie.
“I did the show for seven years, 249 half-hour episodes. I worked with three different Lassies. The last dog I worked with, I worked with him for five years alone,” he told Fox News.
“We grew up together. For five years, we saw each other five days a week and sometimes on weekends.
Revealing how well behaved the dog was he added: “The actors made more mistakes than the dog. They were more of a problem,” he laughed.
After leaving the show at 14 years old he starred alongside the likes of Natalie Wood and Kurt Russell and never fell into the Hollywood child actor trap saying: “My parents let me pretty much do what I wanted to do. I didn’t have to take a job.
“When I left Hollywood, I thought it was good that I did.”
Today Jon lives out of the limelight in Northern California but still gets fan mail from his time in “Lassie”. In 1994, the actor received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Meanwhile, Lassie, the canine character, became so popular that she even had a “Lassie” riveting radio series.
Jon Provost wife
In 1979, Jon Provost tied the knot with Sandy Goosens. Together, they had two children, Ryan and Katie.
After being married for 14 years, the two divorced on December 20, 1993.
In 1999, Jon Provost found love again when he married Laurie Jacobson, a well-known researcher, and author.
I was such a fan of the adventures this sweet duo got up to. And with a moral to every episode, it was the perfect show for kids.
Please share with all the “Lassie” fans you know.
