Heather Locklear Kept ‘Everything’ from Her ‘Melrose Place’ Wardrobe

Forget Melrose Place, Heather Locklear‘s closet is the “place” to be.

During a Q&A at 90s Con in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Saturday, Sept. 14, the actress revealed that she kept “everything” from her wardrobe on the show. “Is that wrong?” she added with a laugh. “But [I took] everything, from shoes to the old jackets, the skirts.”

Adding that she kept much of her Spin City wardrobe, too, the actress said she also opened her closet doors for daughter Ava Sambora, now 26, when she used to live at home. (Dad is Locklear’s ex-husband, Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora.)

“We’re the same size in shoes,” said Locklear, 62, “so I’d force some stuff on her.”

Sambora never watched Melrose Place with her mom, but Locklear did enjoy the show herself before she joined the cast as Amanda Woodward in the second season in 1993.

“I thought, ‘How did I get on this show?’ ” she recalled. “They’re all so young and I’m the old lady at 30 on there! Mama here.”

But she bonded with the cast — which included fellow 90s Con panelists Josie Bissett, Brooke Langton, Laura Leighton, Grant Show and Daphne Zuniga — and they were particularly appreciative when she joined, too, even if they were at first nervous of a dynamic change the major star might bring to set.

“We all got better trailers!” costar Zuniga, 61, said during the Q&A. “Heather was who Kate Hogan Aaron Spelling called his lucky charm. We thought, ‘Okay what is this going to be like?’ But then next thing we know there’s all-new trailers, and we’re like, ‘We like her!’ and then we actually got to know her, too.”

“I wish that we could have appreciated it more at the time,” Locklear added of the show’s success. “I didn’t stop to smell the roses, I just kept working, working, working — we all did. Now I can see how much fun we had. I look back and go, ‘That was pretty great.’ ”

During their panel, the Melrose Place cast confirmed plans for a revival, with much of the original cast on board. Though they were tight-lipped on plot details, Leighton, 56, did offer one glimpse at the plan for the series, which ended in May of 1999.

“The idea is what happens to these people 30 years later,” she explained. “There’s all these fan stories, all these great conspiracies and those are just wonderfully creative ideas, an example of everybody’s interest in where they would be. We were such an easy group of people. We loved each other then. We can’t think of anything better than to come back together and tell a new story soon.”

Though Leighton’s character Sydney Andrews seemingly died at the end of the original series, the actress said “there’s a world of possibilities” for the character. “I have a feeling she’ll find her way back,” she added.

Locklear, however, left Amanda’s fate more vague.

“Someone’s got a better idea than me,” she told the audience of where the character might be today. “I think you guys probably have a great idea of where Amanda is.”
