We saw Heather Locklear a lot on TV in the 1980s and 1990s. The American actor was famous for her part as the sexy Sammy Jo Carrington on the TV show Dynasty.
Heather does have a daughter, though, which is pretty cool. And do you know what? She only has one child, and she looks a lot like her daughter.
With 61 years old, Heather Locklear is still doing well. She was born in Los Angeles in 1961. She became popular in the early 1980s, mostly for her part on the TV show Dynasty as Sammy Jo Carrington. For some reason, she seemed like an angel and her face resembled a Disney lady.
Others might have thought she was just another pretty blonde actor, but her character on Melrose Place was strong and interesting, which showed a different side of her. Heather was a great actress, as shown by the four Golden Globe nominations she got for her part as Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place. You need to know about her personal life as well as her work to fully understand her.
During the 1980s, Heather was often seen with famous rock stars. She was married to Tommy Lee, the drummer for Motley Crüe, but they split up in 1993. She later married Richie Sambora, the lead guitarist for Bon Jovi. They got married in New Jersey in 1994 and then had a big wedding in Paris. After 13 years of marriage, Heather and Richie had a daughter named Ava Sambora.
On October 4, 1997, Ava was born. Her youth wasn’t like most. She would often go on stage before Jon Bon Jovi’s performances and introduce the band. Sometimes she would even dance with them.
Growing up with two famous parents might have been hard, but Ava seems to have done well. She is a smart and well-educated woman now.
Being a cheerleader was fun for Ava in high school, and she loved being thrown into the air.
This year, 2020, Ava graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a perfect 4.0 GPA. She then chose to keep studying, and she is now at the University of Southern California getting her master’s degree in marriage and family therapy.
Following in her famous mother’s path, Ava has also become an actress. A 25-year-old woman made her acting start in the movie “This Is 40.” Also, during Los Angeles Fashion Weekend in 2010, she walked the runway for her dad’s clothes line, “White Trash Beautiful.”
Ava shared a picture of herself in a dress and tulips in 2020. A lot of people said how much she looks like her famous mom.
Ava shared a picture of herself wearing a leopard-print dress and pulling her blonde hair back into a bun. She wrote “I like flowers” and tagged her friend Sarah Wermers. “You really are a stunning beauty, taking after your beautiful mother!!” said someone.
Some people think that Ava looks a lot like Heather did when she was on TJ Hooker. People said about Ava when she was interviewed by ET, “My gosh, she is her mother, even her voice sounds like Heather’s.”
Not everyone, though, thinks they look a lot alike. Some people say Ava and Heather are both pretty, but they don’t look a lot alike.
Heather Ava, Ava’s 61-year-old mother, recently shared pictures on Instagram to congratulate her daughter on finishing from LMU.
The 25-year-old blonde Ava seems like a really nice person who knows what’s important to her. Ashley is very close to her mom, Heather. To US Weekly in 2018, Ava said that she would “love to follow in my mother’s footsteps” in her work.
That was Ava’s most recent acting job, which was in the crime movie “A Dark Foe” with Selma Blair in 2020. No doubt, we’ll see her again someday!
Ava has found love and does well in school and acting. Melissa is seeing Tyler Farrar, who works as an investment assistant at Pacific Partners Real Estate Investments. In 2019, they started going out together.
When I look at new shots of Ava, I remember the 1980s. Looking back in time is like it. In other words, could you get genes from parents that make you look better? Could be from Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford?
It looks like Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora raised this girl very well. Ava looks very simple and grown up! Lots of love and praise!
