Heather Locklear jokes Melrose Place skirts were so short she could ‘feel her crack’ while seated

Heather Locklear jokes Melrose Place skirts were so short she could ‘feel her crack’ while seated

Heather Locklear enjoyed a happy reunion with her former Melrose Place castmates Courtney Thorne-Smith, Daphne Zuniga, and Laura Leighton earlier this month.

The 63-year-old blonde bombshell had her beloved dog, Mister, in tow as she embraced her former co-stars before taping a two-part episode of their re-watch podcast, Still the Place.

Heather was brought on Darren Starr’s Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off in order to boost ratings in a four-episode arc as D&D advertising executive Amanda Woodward, but she continued to play the role from 1993-1999 despite retaining her ‘special guest star’ credit.

Locklear had a clause in her contract to keep ‘everything, from shoes to the old jackets, the skirts’ from her costumes, which got continuously shorter and shorter.

‘Yeah I can almost feel my crack while I’m sitting down because it goes up!’ the six-time Golden Globe nominee joked.

Daphne then ribbed her, ‘So did they see your old granny underwear?’

Offended by the notion, Heather sH๏τ back: ‘I don’t wear granny underwear!’

Locklear noted how none of the cast wore pantyhose in those days, but she certainly wore ‘nylons’ while starring as Sammy Jo Carrington in ABC prime-time soap opera Dynasty between 1981-1989.

The Mormon Mom Gone Wrong actress – who reprised the antagonistic role in The CW’s 2009-2010 reboot – was asked by Courtney who she had the most fun with from the Melrose Place ensemble.

‘Well, stupid Jack [Wagner] cause he’s an a**hole,’ Heather laughed.

‘He just doesn’t care. He’s annoying. He’s like your brother.’

Locklear went on to date her 65-year-old former leading man from 2007-2011 during which they were briefly engaged.

‘I just wanted to be good,’ the SoCal native recalled of her time on the hit show.

‘And I just wanted to be good the next day and the next day.’

Heather confessed she was more concerned about learning her own lines for the 30-episode seasons than bonding with her co-stars on the set: ‘I guess there was no time to really form friendships.’

But Locklear, Zuniga, and Leighton will get another chance as CBS Studios has been developing a Melrose Place reboot executive produced by Lauren Gussis as far back as last April – according to EW.
