Heather Locklear gave her fans something to talk about over the weekend, and it wasn’t a TV comeback—it was how incredible she still looks.
The former Melrose Place star made a rare guest appearance on the What Do You Want? podcast alongside her longtime friend Jillian Barberie and personality Twelve28rx.
A behind-the-scenes photo from the podcast set popped up on Instagram, showing Heather glowing in a chic white outfit at 63.
The caption revealed the podcast team had launched a brand-new page after their previous account was hacked, asking fans to follow along for updates and teasing a release date announcement soon.
Fans Go Wild Over Heather’s Timeless Look
Followers couldn’t hold back their excitement over Locklear’s youthful glow.
“Heather looks amazing!” one fan gushed, while another chimed in, “You do not age, Heather!”
The comments poured in, praising her fresh and radiant appearance—especially after the ups and downs she’s faced in recent years.
A Look Back at Her Melrose Place Legacy
Heather will forever be remembered as Amanda Woodward, the stylish and scheming advertising exec she portrayed on Melrose Place from 1993 until the show ended in 1999.
Her arrival came at a crucial time when ratings needed a boost, and producer Aaron Spelling—who fondly referred to her as his “lucky penny”—brought her in for what was supposed to be a short guest role.
That decision changed the trajectory of the series.
Heather’s character quickly became central to the drama, earning her main cast status by season two.
The show’s popularity surged, and Amanda Woodward cemented her as one of TV’s most unforgettable ‘90s stars.
Reflecting on Her Start with the Show
Interestingly, Heather recently admitted she almost didn’t see herself fitting into the Melrose cast.
Speaking on the Still the Place podcast, hosted by her former co-stars Daphne Zuniga, Laura Leighton, and Courtney Thorne-Smith, Heather revealed she thought she was “too old” for the role when she was first approached—at just 30 years old.
“I watched the show and thought, ‘This is going to be great, but I’m too old. Everyone else is in their early twenties,’” she recalled.
Yet when her manager called about the role, she jumped at the chance, insisting she wanted to play a powerful businesswoman rather than a quirky side character.
Favorite Storylines—That Didn’t Involve Her
Despite Amanda becoming the face of Melrose Place, Heather confessed that some of her favorite storylines didn’t even revolve around her.
She pointed to the infamous Marcia Cross plotline in which Cross’s character Kimberly Shaw battled severe mental illness—a twist that kept audiences glued to their screens.
Life Beyond the Spotlight
Locklear’s personal life has often made headlines, from her high-profile marriages to Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora to her struggles with rehab in 2018 and 2019.
Thankfully, things have looked brighter in recent years.
She rekindled a romance with her high school sweetheart, Chris Heisser, in 2017.
The couple seemed inseparable for years, though reports confirmed they split last year.
Back in 2021, friends close to the pair shared that Heather “couldn’t be happier” with Chris, describing their relationship as loving and stable.
While their story didn’t last, Heather seems stronger and more grounded these days.
What’s Next for Heather Locklear?
After a tough patch, Heather is now back in the spotlight—this time on her own terms.
She continues to charm fans, whether it’s through nostalgic reflections on Melrose Place or her candid podcast appearances.
Judging by the response to her latest outing, one thing is certain: Heather Locklear’s star power hasn’t faded one bit.
