Denise Richards, known in celebrity circles as Charlie Sheen's now-estranged wife, was born February 17th, 1971 in Downer's Grove, Illinois to parents Irv and Joni Richards. This former model, grocery clerk, and Bond girl moved to Oceanside, California at age 15, where she went to El Camino High School.

At about the same time, she started modeling. Upon high school graduation, she moved to Los Angeles, and now closer to Hollywood, her acting roles began piling up. She has appeared in movies like "Starship Troopers" (1997) with "Stark Raving Mad"'s Neil Patrick Harris, and even co-starred with her former husband Charlie Sheen in 2003's blockbuster "Scary Movie 3."
