Denise Richards has been riding the Hollywood wave for decades, dazzling audiences with her talent and undeniable charisma. From her breakout role as Carmen Ibanez in the 1997 sci-fi classic "Starship Troopers" to captivating performances in "Wild Things" and "The World is Not Enough," Denise has proven she's more than just a pretty face. Her work in "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and the beloved ensemble film "Love Actually" further solidified her status as a leading lady.
“We were all pretty much in the same place in our career and a lot of us are still close. We just had so much fun," Denise reminisced about her time filming "Starship Troopers."
Denise's extensive filmography, which includes roles in "Scary Movie 3" and "Madea's Witness Protection," shows her versatility and willingness to explore different genres. With over 100 credits to her name, she's a true fixture in the entertainment landscape.
Denise's small-screen resume is just as impressive. She made memorable appearances on "Friends" as Ross and Monica's cousin and took on a recurring role in the soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful," where she starred in over 150 episodes. Her stint on the comedy "Two and a Half Men" alongside then-husband Charlie Sheen was another fan-favorite.

Denise even shared her life with viewers through Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," where she navigated the drama with her signature poise.
While her acting career shines brightly, Denise Richards has ventured into other avenues, including becoming a content creator on OnlyFans. Her decision to join the platform came after seeing her daughter, Sami Sheen, face criticism for embracing her own choices.

Denise's personal life has also had its share of public interest, from her high-profile divorce to her role as a mother of three. Yet, through it all, she has maintained her resilience and continued to thrive in the ever-evolving entertainment industry.
Denise's recent appearance on BravoCon 2025 hinted at a possible full-time return to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." "Yeah, I think so," she said when asked about rejoining the cast.
