Legendary actress Heather Locklear, known for her iconic roles in television series such as “Dynasty,” “T.J. Hooker,” “Melrose Place,” and “Spin City,” has recently made a return to the public eye.

Fans are stunned by the 62-year-old actress’s changed appearance in new paparazzi photos.

Her struggle with addiction and other personal challenges has visibly impacted her, as evidenced by the prominent scar on her face.

Recently spotted in Los Angeles with her fiancé, Chris Heisser, Heather Locklear appeared almost unrecognizable.

Dressed simply in white and opting for a natural, makeup-free look, Locklear showcased her generosity by rolling down the car window to hand money to a homeless person they encountered after visiting friends.

Heather Locklear and Chris Heisser have experienced a rollercoaster of highs and lows in their lives together.

Locklear’s struggles with alcohol and drug addiction have significantly impacted her physical appearance and led to various legal troubles.

Over the years, she has been candid about her battle with addiction, seeking help through approximately 20 rehab visits.

Finding love has also been challenging for Locklear. After two unhappy marriages to rock stars Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora, she found true love with Chris Heisser.

The couple rekindled their relationship from their high school days at Newbury Park High School and got engaged four years ago.

In addition to her own engagement, Locklear’s daughter Ava, from her marriage to Sambora, recently became engaged to her partner Tyler Farrar.

The love and support from her daughter and fiancé have undoubtedly been a source of strength for Locklear on her journey to recovery and redemption.

Regrettably, Locklear’s private issues have often been thrust into the public eye. Over the years, police have been called to her home on numerous occasions. She made headlines in 2018 after being arrested on charges of assaulting an officer and domestic abuse. Locklear pleaded guilty to all charges, resulting in a sentence of 120 days of suspended jail time and 30 days of involuntary admission to a mental health hospital.
