Nicollette Sheridan

Learned about Greek culture from actor Telly Savalas, who had a long relationship with Nicollette's mother.
Is of Punjabi descent through her great-grandmother.
Sheridan reportedly often wears clip-on earrings because she only has one pierced ear.
Originally auditioned for the role of "Bree Van de Kamp" (now played by Marcia Cross) on Desperate Housewives (2004), before auditioning for and getting the role of Edie Britt.
She spent three of her high school years at The Buckley School, a private college preparatory day school in Sherman Oaks near Los Angeles. Was almost kicked out when she was caught forging her mother's signature on a note. Her mother shipped her off to Millfield, a no-nonsense girl's school outside London, which she graduated from in 1981.

I grew up feeling like the ugly duckling, and things have not changed that much. For some reason, Hollywood seems to have painted me as a gorgeous vixen at times or the sweet girl. I don't get it.
[on Telly Savalas] He was officially my stepfather, but I always thought of him as my daddy.
I think I've been very lucky. A lot of this business is being in the right place at the right time with the right thing.
I could say doing what I've wanted to do with my life could be looked at as being selfish. But I think it's a healthy selfish, because if you're really not ready to (have children), it's not the right thing to do.
I'm actually more comfortable playing the stroke victim or the girl with no makeup on, looking scruffy and it's all about what's going on inside rather than on the outside. But I'm making friends with it. At times, it's embarrassing being in some outfits that I might personally never be caught dead in, but they serve "Edie" on [Desperate Housewives (2004)]. It was nice actually wearing pants and a proper shirt as "Diane" in [The Cleaner - Geheimagent auf Abwegen (2007)].
