I'm Glad She's Sober, But What the Hell Did Heather Locklear Do To Her Face??

She used to have such beautiful eyes. Now, they're barely slits that look like the don't close all the way.

She's had filler face FOR YEARS!

She's just fat. She's very petite, so she'd have to be underweight to photograph lean.

Her bf looks like an extra on Hee Haw. How the mighty have fallen.

I wonder if she's on Prednisone for something? Her belly is bloated too.

Otherwise that's a serious botch job. Like she blew into TJ for a day and they blew her face up.

I would guess she's on Prednisone or insulin.

She looks happy. I hope she is. I’ve always heard what a nice person she is and she seems to have gone through hell the last 10 years between addiction and mental illness.

Prednisone? Well now I feel like an asshole. Sorry, Heather.

She's 70.

She's 59. But in Hollywood, might as well be 70.

She's 59. Boyfriend is someone she knew from way back when, so that's good. However, he looks like he's either Sigfried or Roy.

She looked that puffed a few years ago when she made a guest appearance on that Asian sitcom with the cunty lead actress.

^She doesn't look so bad there for an old girl.

I also suspect steroid therapy. Maybe she has diabetes, leukemia, or hepatitis?

I think it is the weight gain and bad angle of the photo. She's 5'5" so not terribly short. Would be nice if we could choose where our weight gain would go to.

This was just a year ago. She must be dying.

She looks like she is in ESLD. That looks like Ascites. I do hope not. I have always liked her.

She's 59, a bit chubby, and not wearing makeup. [bold]SHE LOOKS FINE.[/bold]

Gay men don't get to see women without makeup very often, like long married straight men do - but this is what women look like fellas.

Of course she had some nips-&-tucks done in her younger years but nothing too drastic so she still looks pretty natural. She looks good and I bet she still has the makeup skills to look pretty great for her age when she wants.

Those cheeks are not normal, regardless how she got them. You don't gain weight in your face as you age, you lose it. Also, she didn't look anything like this a year ago. I'm sticking with Prednisone, and I'll double down that she also has some kind of filler that the Prednisone is exaggerating the effect of.

It's fillers

She looks fat and happy. Boyfriend has BDF.

She’s been eating good!

I never got the appeal. To me, she was pretty, but not gorgeous. And I thought she lacked presence onscreen.

I think R16 is on to something. She's looking like Lara Flynn Boyle too.

My guess is prednisone too. I met Heather in the nineties. Hands down sweetest actress I ever met and I use to be in the biz. Hope it is nothing serious..I wish her the best!

no, look at her feet. She's got something more than fat or fillers going on.

R22 She def has presence onscreen; she’s a legend just for Melrose Place alone.

Hope she’s ok. She should age naturally because she’s got a man and had a great career (probably would get more jobs now if she let herself look old).

Love Heather. She looks a lot happier than she has for a long time.

She looked decent on the Melrose reunion last year. I was struck by how complimentary her co-stars were about her.

Marcia Cross gushed over her and seemed very genuine. She definitely wouldn't talk about Teri Hatcher that way!

r1 I agree, her eyes were so pretty now they are puffed up slits

One word

The new boyfriend is not that hot people, but I am happy for her

They were high school sweethearts.

Awwww! I'm rooting for both of them!

I always thought Heather Thomas was prettier.

Now they both look like shit.

R31- He looks just like my neighbors maintenance man, except older. The maintenance man also has better teeth. He had better hope she doesn't relapse. He would like her when she drinks. 🙀

Wouldn't like her.

r34 you probably read the story that Tommy Lee thought she was Heather Thomas when they were talking on the phone. I wouldn't have admitted that, kind of embarrassing.

There's a caption with a blow up of her hand noting that she's ditched her engagement ring again. Swollen digits. I really can't make her feet out. Based on the preview picture, I was going to suggest menopause belly (water retention as well as gas), but that's extreme and out of proportion to the rest of body.

Edema?

Prednisone makes you swell up like a motherfucker..

jesus christ, I swear I am not drunk. lifted foot

I think it's plain ol' weight gain and facial fillers. She's quite roomy through the hips and upper thighs now where she wasn't before, and her upper arms are bigger too.

Thanks rescue chick. Now I definitely see it.

What kinds of conditions would a menopausal woman take prednisone fir?

I have no idea r44. It may be a different medical issue. I just know that if I see someone who I haven't seen in a while and they've blown up I look at their feet and am correct with what happened (fat vs medical) every time.

She doesn't look happy, she looks sick.

She doesn't look (body-wise) like Lara Flynn Boyle. Lara is skinny except for her midsection. Heather looks like she has weight gain evenly distributed on her body.

My husband is a big Heather Locklear fan. He is lying next to me in bed saying if she had married him she would be doing better.

I don't think it has to be prednisone. Cat is currently taking prednisone for asthma. I don't know what Heather would be taking it for. Covid?

I agree that is more of an aging woman with facial fillers look.

Would some Of the medication she’s taking for mental health issues cause weight gain?

I thought it was Charlene Tilton.

Heather, stop, please! We will love you just the way you are, healthy, fit, and natural.

It's got to be rough. I am obsessed with Motley Crue right now and they were saying that Heather was like the hottest girl on the planet in her prime. I know many DLers can relate to to this, but it's hard when everyone wants to fuck you and then you hit that wall.

Heather's daughter is cute but not as good as the original, sort of like Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn

r49, yes, mental health medications can cause rapid weight gain. if you get into the really serious mental health medications they WILL cause rapid weight gain but that's like, schizophrenia or bipolar for guaranteed weight gain.

Being makeup free doesn't help either, eyeliner to make her eyes shine and contour can help a lot.

Tom Ford says that absolutely nobody should be photographed in broad daylight unless they are 18 and even then it's questionable. Never be seen outdoors at high noon. This is advice everyone needs. Skip events if you must.

Bitch stole my act.

IMO, Heather Locklear was always more cute and hot than she was "beautiful." However, most hetero men preferred her looks to someone who was actually more beautiful.

I'm surprised at how hard it is on her to get older. At some point, Denise Richardson (ex-wife on Charlie Sheen) "stole" Heather's husband, Richie Sambora. That was probably a huge blow as well, although Heather never made public statements about it.

....Uhmm, she physically aged, like others??

Her fat is “normally” distributed , so I think it’s just weight gain (plus fillers in her face). I would have never predicted her of all people to get that way though, she’s one of the few actresses who seemed naturally tiny to me.

There was a wild BI about Heather, Richie, Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards, and Ava Sambora. It's disturbing and that's all I'll say.

I think Denise is also beautiful and she is aging fairly gracefully. At a certain age, platinum bimbo blond doesn't work, even if it's your signature. It's a harsh color if you are not stunning.

She just got fat. it's very hard to lose weight as you get older. Maybe she was on pills to keep her weight down but stopped doing that and piled on the weight.

If it’s prednisone, she’d better keep all of her cancer screening appointments; that stuff is miracle grow for tumors.

[quote]Edema?

Yes sweetie?

[quote]I always thought Heather Thomas was prettier.

I always thought she looked a bit like Kim Novak, and interestingly she’s now scary looking in the same way as Novak.

She is 59 and looks her age. Big deal. People age and it's not like she's incredibly well-known anymore, so she probably just doesn't care to try to pretend that she's still young.

When you live in California so long you just morph into a 🐱.

I had a co-worker take medication for depression. She packed on the pounds in no time. She became more depressed with the weight gain. Once she was off the medication she starting losing weight.

She does look rough for her age. But life does treat some better than others. I really liked how the tabloid described her tee-shirt and jeans as if they were fashion and she was on the runway. It makes the older gal feel special again.

To me, she doesn't look healthy. The moon face would indicate Prednisone and the weight distribution doesn't look like overeating but more likely ascites and edema. She really doesn't look healthy and according to the article , boyfriend was arrested for a DUI or some type of violation and he and Heather have had police visits because of domestic violence. I feel bad for her and hope she can get better.

Well maybe she had lipo when she was younger and now she got fat and the fat is appearing in weird places. I think she's just fat.

She's on her way to looking like Mama June.

[quote] I really liked how the tabloid described her tee-shirt and jeans as if they were fashion and she was on the runway. It makes the older gal feel special again.

The Daily Mail loves to take the piss. I remember them commenting on Caitlyn Jenner showing off her gorgeous legs and curvy figure, and she looked abominable that day and as blocky as a linebacker - no waist to be found.

Her hubby looks GAY.

[quote] There was a wild BI about Heather, Richie, Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards, and Ava Sambora. It's disturbing and that's all I'll say.

Why? Does talking about the ugly shit “celebrities” get up to on an anonymous message board disturb your delicate sensibilities? If it’s what I think it is, it’s horrid, yet no worse than some other stories I’ve read on here.

R74- iirc, the blind claimed that Charlie Sheen and Heather were raping minors, including Ava Sambora. I do not remember it clearly, tbh, but it claimed that Heather either allowed CS to rape her daughter, or she and CS both raped her. I do not believe that HL would ever hurt her daughter, or allow anyone else to. CS, yes, I believe anything about him, but not her. Anything is possible in Hollywood, but I would have to have solid evidence of that.

Always liked her and hope she's happy, but yikes! At first glance I thought this was Marjorie Taylor Greene. That is Not a good thing....

Was anyone ever such a convincing bitch? Maybe Joan Collins, but I can't think of another as good at playing a bitch than those two. You just loved to hate them, which is exactly what a good actress does, lol!

She managed to raise a seemingly well-adjusted female child in Hollywood who just graduated from Loyola Marymount University and has never been featured in any pap shot that I can recall. Or even hasn't been in any controversies. Not bad.

R75 - CS liked kiddie porn, which Denise would tolerate but that was her hard limit. Heather and Charlie started getting into to it together and brought Heather's kindergarten daughter into the mix to play with her and CS. Richie and Denise had to intervene...allegedly.

It's a combination of post-menopausal body changes, meds for mental issues, aging and the effects of time on cosmetic procedures. Time leaves it's mark on all of us.

I hope Heather can make a comeback. She needs a really good role. Movie or another TV series.

R80 and (this goes for many celebrities) going off certain drugs that kept them skinny for decades.

When you go pale blonde most don’t look good without makeup. Have a neighbor who is platinum blonde and with makeup she is stunning but without the hair is too harsh with her complexion. Heather could use a few lowlights in her hair, that blonde is I a bit brassy.

Probably antipsychotics or certain mood stabilizers she’s taking for her severe mental illness. Weight gain looks to be distributed everywhere. Likely a combination of weight gain and fillers, but mostly weight gain.

She looks like every aging, southern beauty queen sans makeup and after a life of too much fried chicken.

She looks like a make up free 70 yr old woman; who has gained weight.

Cheek filler, no make-up and age, She's old enough to be grandma now.

Too much wine! Kinda has alcoholic face and tummy. Hope that she cleans up her lifestyle and makes a comeback. She'd be great as an Alexis Carrington type character. Girlfriend loves to work and seems sad not doing so.

Heather was one of the hottest girls on TV along with Farah Fawcett....

She looks like shit.

That washed out "blondes-in-the-sun-look" is exactly describes Degeneres. She should wear black clothing at least to offset the "glare" emanating from her when she's outside.

We can blame it on a lot of things, but the cat eyes do not lie. She is pumped with fillers, bloat, and also caught in harsh daylight with no makeup.

She looked good in the new Melrose Place reboot when Katie Cassidy was playing the next Amanda Woodward and they went toe to toe. Those were some great scenes. I wish that had taken off like 90210 reboot.

At one point way back when I wanted to look like/be Amanda Peterson from Can’t Buy Me Love— then she became a drug addict and died. I was also envious of Kelly Preston’s boobs (they were impressive) then she died of breast cancer. And if I had to choose to look like someone it would be Heather Locklear as I like the California blonde look that’s not harsh. But now I take all it back.

How about Amy Locane of Cry Baby...oh,wait.

You're all talking about how Heather looks but I can't get over that the fiance has the balls to wear such tight pants when he has nothing to fill 'em - not an ass, not strong thighs, not shapely calfs, nothin'.

*calves

I’m rooting for her. She needs to get on a good diet of fresh foods and low carbs, and let that face settle.

LSA maintains that she and Charlie were into some sick shit.

They got that from Crazy days and nights

I always feel bad for her, she was above average looking young SoCal blonde who essentially worked for one boss for twenty years (Aaron Spelling) who made her very famous, way beyond the measure of her looks or ability. Her fame was also enhanced by her relations with musicians who helped exacerbate a drug and alcohol problem...and then she got old and Spelling passed away and I don't think she was in any way prepared to be not wanted and old in a business she would have been better off not being in in the first place. I know many Hollywood blondes have similar stories, still her story stands out because of the level of fame she achieved and that unlike say, Monroe, she was not exceptional looking or talented.

What a crock. She had a multi decade run. She needs no one's pity. Do you also feel bad for Jennifer Aniston?

I don't think Monroe was any more exceptional looking than Locklear. Monroe benefitted from top flight styling.

Blond, pale, and thin-skinned (physically thin-skinned) isn't a recipe for great aging. Plus, a history of drinking and almost 60.

This may sound crazy, but I don't think she looks THAT bad all things considered.

Not that she was ugly, but I never thought she was "hot" as she was sold. [Yes, I know, I'm a gay guy so it doesn't really matter what I think in that regard.]

Her skin is actually quite good.

She was so much fun as on Dynasty.

I only knew her from "Melrose Place." When I saw some early "Dynasty" clips, I was surprised to hear how bad her voice used to be. Kudos to her for putting in the work to improve it. That's pretty rare for a Hollywood actor to do.

[R55], you could run for POTUS with that line!

[quote]I don't think Monroe was any more exceptional looking than Locklear. Monroe benefitted from top flight styling.

Marilyn Monroe wasn't the greatest physical beauty, but she had something rare. She had charisma that she could easily turn on and off. She had the contradictory quality of being sexy and innocent at the same time, a quality that can't be faked.

Heather was a likable pretty woman. Here eyes were definitely her most memorable feature. She was good at playing bitches on tv. Her real life personality seemed pleasant, but also bland.

Monroe definitely had charisma out the wazoo.

*Her* eyes

Damn it, Muriel. Can't you include an edit feature, something subscription-free message boards offer?

BUMP

Most straight men thought Heather was one of the hottest women in the eighties and nineties. I thought she was gorgeous but in an approachable way. Lovely slender body and beautiful eyes and smile. But it was her personality that made most fans fall in love with her. She is a real sweetheart!

R108 You don't need to add the brackets manually. Just type R *no space* and the post number you are replying to. Like magic, the brackets happen automatically.

She was Drew Barrymore's mom in Firestarter. I think i watched that movie so many times one summer on cable in the 80's. She should do Stranger Things. I think she looks unwell. Maybe liver issues. Like someone else said, could be weight gain from depression meds, but it looks more like swelling than fat.

Sad as it is, we all get old. She's gone from sweet young thing to sexy woman to cute and chubby Mom. That's a pretty good trajectory.

She looks like a 59 year old woman in the middle-class suburban wilds. *Shrug*

I’m guessing rheumatoid arthritis and the medications related to that. Take a look at Kathleen Turner.

I'm sure the medication she needs to take has side effects, plus age.

That's what middle-aged women are like without make-up. After a certain age, I'd say 25, mayve earlier, there's no such thing as a natural beauty among women; it's all hair and make-up. So you can imagine what it's like for women who just 60.

[Quote]She used to have such beautiful eyes

Her eyes are just as beautiful as before WHEN SHE WEARS HER EYELINER AND MAKEUP FOR THE HER LASHES. I swear to God, for all the talk of gay men being fashion-savvy, Dataloungers are as naive as straight men about the naturalness of female beauty. You people have totally bought into heteronormative propaganda about women being the beautiful sex, when they're just the overpainted sex.

Seroquel packs on pounds. It just does. Quite a few Bipolar meds have that side effect. I have had to deal with so many Bipolar patients, mostly woman, refusing to take their medication because of this very thing. I truly pity them because they must chose mental health over physical health due to obesity. I really like her and always have. She is a kind, down to earth person. Everyone who meets her or works with her has only nice things to say. That is very rare in Hollywood. I wish her luck. Hope she keeps herself very well.
