Nicollette Sheridan (born 21 November 1963) is an English television and film actress and former model. Her best known roles include Paige Matheson on the CBS television series Knots Landing from 1986 to 1993, and Edie Britt on the ABC television series Desperate Housewives from 2004 to 2009, for which she received a Golden Globe Award nomination. Her best known film appearances include roles in The Sure Thing (1985), Noises Off (1992), Spy Hard (1996), and Beverly Hills Ninja (1997).
Sheridan was born in Worthing, Sussex, England, the daughter of actress Sally Savalas (née Adams).
Sheridan began her career as a fashion model, appearing in the pages of Vogue and on the cover of Cosmopolitan, shot by Francesco Scavullo.
Sheridan made her acting debut in 1984 in the short-lived US primetime soap opera Paper Dolls, which co-starred Lloyd Bridges and Morgan Fairchild. However, her breakthrough came in 1986 when she joined the cast of the CBS primetime soap Knots Landing as Paige Matheson. She started in a recurring role but had become a series regular by the 1988-89 season. Sheridan remained with the series for seven seasons until its end in 1993, and for her performance in the role she won the 1990 Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Lead Actress: Prime Time and the 1991 Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Heroine: Prime Time. The same year, she was named one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People". In 1990, she was cast as Lucky Santangelo in the television adaptation of Jackie Collins' Lucky Chances. She also appeared in several made-for-TV films, and after Knots Landing ended in 1993, she appeared in the theatrical films Spy Hard and Beverly Hills Ninja. In 1998, she auditioned for the role of Grace Adler on Will & Grace, though the role ultimately went to Debra Messing. However, Sheridan did make a guest appearance on the show in 2003.
