Sex

I think the use of the 'Most men would do anything to have sex with Heather', whilst possibly true, is not NPOV or cite-able.

Practically Perfect in looks especially for a woman who is turning 44!

To above.. wtf are you kidding? That's mostly computer enhancing, air brushing, make up with a trowel and cosmetic surgery. She's not ugly, but certainly is not perfect.

Is she lefthanded?

The Fall guy

From the Article one could get the impression that she acts as Judy Banks in this series. That's not true. I don't know if she appeared in that series at all, but Judy banks was impersonated by Heather Thomas.

Politics

"Locklear is a fairly outspoken Republican.".....I am removing this unless someone can provide sources and also cites similar references on all the outspoken Hollywood Democrats...which would be almost all of them. 24.187.51.220 19:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

The Republican thing is noteworthy (man bites dog). And the source is her record of donations.TCO 15:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Fancruft edits to page

There have been various edits to the article in recent months that deleted certain unflattering details about Locklear (particularly her arrest and treatment for depression) and also added inaccurate information or unnecessarily expanded or repeated details about minor aspects of her career. Judging by the style of the writing, it's obvious that these edits were written by a diehard Locklear fan. Please note that Wikipedia is not a Heather Locklear fansite. It has to provide details about a subject (both good and bad) and present them from a neutral perspective. Please stop deleting details from the page that you find unflattering as this will be considered vandalism. Thank you. 80.47.58.250 (talk) 18:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Republican

This article implies rather strongly, but does not state outright, that she is a Republican: [1]. Stonemason89 (talk) 14:18, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Decent biography, but needs citation and referencing. Expansion on her early career before Dynasty and Melrose Place is needed. Edofedinburgh 21:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Of Lumbee descent?

Just curious as to whether anyone knows for definite given she's featured on the Lumbee page.. (Stuey 182 14:13, 12 July 2006 (UTC))

yes, her father is. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/secret/famous/locklear.html --Colorfulharp233 03:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

This is wholly speculation. Her surname is Scottish and she has never traced her ancestry. In fact, the Lumbee are not even federally recognized as a tribe.

Her surname is Irish and may have nautical meanings. Sorry to burst your bubble, but not being approved by the government does not make you non-existant.JBDay 02:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

It is indeed all just speculative though. Don't forget that prior to the 19th century, people from other races were assimilated into American culture and given European or westernized names (e.g. - slaves were usually given the surname of their owners). Whilst I find it fascinating that somebody as "all American" as Locklear has mixed ancestry, unless there is absolutely unquestionable proof of it, it is best left off the article page. 80.47.30.121 (talk) 11:22, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

The only way that we may be positive of how the Lumbee came about is through DNA research, which requires sufficient cooperation on the part of the ethnic group. I wish Heather a happy 50th birthday and hope that she may decide to use her celebrity status to shed light on an obscure chapter of North Carolina history and our nation's early origins.

Early Career

Memory is a fickle thing. If I recall correctly, waaaaay back in the mid to late-1970s the California Milk Advisory Board used an image of a bikini-clad Heather on billboards. I believe it was a pink bikini. Can anyone verify this early modeling job or chime in as remembering seeing one of those billboards? I also recall reading a print article long ago that mentioned Heather's appearance on that billboard. Wanting to sate cutiosity!!! Thanks.

I don't remember the billboards, but I don't doubt that there were some because she did a Milk commercial. She wasn't wearing a bikini, though; she wore one of those half shirts and a pair of shorts. I remember the Milk Advisory Board also posted a publicity still of her from the commercial on a placard in the milk section of many grocery stores. Oddly enough, it's difficult finding photos of/from the shoot. Then again, this was before anyone knew who she was...--Batman144 (talk) 21:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
