Born in 1971 in Illinois, Richards moved to California at the age of 15. After leaving school, Richards worked as a model and traveled to Paris, New York and Tokyo to do commercials.
In the early 90s Richards started to pursue a career in acting and had some success appearing in Saved By The Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210 and Seinfeld.
The actress also had roles in the movies Starship Troopers and Wild Things.
However, as has been the case with so many actresses, it would be her role as nuclear physicist Christmas Jones in The World Is Not Enough that would make her an international star.
Similarly to Pussy Galore, Christmas Jones became one of the most famous characters in the Bond franchise as her name was used by Bond in a famous quip at the end of the movie.
Since her performance in the Bond movie, Richards has had a varied career in both film and TV.
More recently, she has starred as herself in a number of reality TV shows like “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated”.
Richards divorced Charlie Sheen in 2006 after four years of marriage and has two children with him.
She adopted a third daughter in 2011 and married Aaron Phypers in 2018.
