Growin' Up Heather
Heather Locklear is going for a more-mature look when she joins the cast of Fox's Melrose Place on Jan. 27. "I can't play a 25-year-old the rest of my life," says Locklear, 31, best-known as Sammy Jo on Dynasty and Officer Stacy Sheridan on T.J. Hooker. "It seems like I've been doing it for 75 years already." To that end, Locklear joins Melrose in a recurring role as Amanda Woodward, a dress-for-success ad-agency art director in her "late 20s" who has an instant fling with Billy. But don't expect Locklear to overdo the sophisticate bit. When the folks in wardrobe tried to put her in a long black leather-skirt, she drew the line, "I told them, `Un uh. This ain't happening'."
