Lisa Rinna was terrified to join the 1990s soap opera “Melrose Place.”
She was coming in as a new character when the show was already five seasons deep.
She was intimidated to say the least.
“We had ‘Melrose Place’ night once a week with my girlfriends.”
She went on to describe herself as “starstruck” when she first started off.
Then, the show’s lead actor, Heather Locklear, came and helped ease her nerves.
Rinna was grateful for that.
“It’s scary, scary, scary.
I always felt very welcomed there and really good, and that’s all due to Heather.”
“And so Heather and I had a great time.
Rinna said she enjoyed everything from her character’s wardrobe to her behavior to her one-liners.
“What a juicy role to get to play.
She also took note of those around her.
“Two of the most professional, talented people in this business.
They are true pros.”
“She would go on to act in and make guest appearances on several shows.
She married the actor Harry Hamlin in 1997 and had two daughters after tying the knot.
