The California-born actress was smoking hot back in the day, and she’s probably best known around the world for playing glamorous Sammy Jo Carrington in the long-running TV show Dynasty.

But did you know that Heather has a daughter? And that her only child looks just like her star mama?

Heather Locklear was born in Los Angeles in 1961 – today, the bombshell of the 1980s has turned 61 and is still going strong.

She made her earliest screen appearances in the early 1980s, landing her big breakthrough with the show Dynasty.

Starring as Sammy Jo Carrington catapulted her to stardom – the young Heather looked like an angel with the real-life face of a Disney princess, you could say.

Sure, some might say that she was just a standard pretty blonde TV actress, nothing special. But her personality on Melrose Place was badass – every time she appeared onscreen, it felt like things got more interesting.
