She grew up in a celebrity environment, being the daughter of actress Sally Adams and stepdaughter of Telly Savalas, best known for his role as Blofeld in the\u00a0<em>James Bond<\/em>\u00a0series. Sheridan\u2019s strong British accent was often a subject of mockery during her childhood. To fit in, she worked hard to master an American accent, which she later revealed she could switch between easily.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cc6a05dvBjl\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=640&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fen.newsner.com&amp;rp=%2Fcelebrity%2Fnicollette-sheridan-desperate-housewives-star-has-had-two-failed-marriages%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawFYS0BleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHTG0emWojRuLtPjji6JtjnA8E37TtvYTAjnYC9QDd-sbW-3tVxJbhNGQfQ_aem_EtYpe31_a0cAB#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2271.5999999940395%7D\" height=\"1088\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-origwidth=\"\" data-origheight=\"1088\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Her life in Hollywood has been as eventful off-screen as it has been on-screen. Her first marriage was to actor Harry Hamlin in 1991, but they divorced just 11 months later. Rumors circulated that the cause of the split was Sheridan\u2019s alleged affair with singer Michael Bolton, a claim that Hamlin\u2019s second wife, Lisa Rinna, made public on\u00a0<em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em>. Sheridan, however, denied the accusations, insisting that the reasons for their divorce were different. The dispute led to a heated exchange on Twitter, with Hamlin accusing Sheridan of lying.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it is well known that Sheridan and Michael Bolton began dating in 1992, shortly after her divorce from Hamlin. The couple was together for five years before breaking up, only to reunite in 2005. They got engaged in 2006 but eventually called off the engagement two years later.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-1\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B6HpI2SBwfF\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=640&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fen.newsner.com&amp;rp=%2Fcelebrity%2Fnicollette-sheridan-desperate-housewives-star-has-had-two-failed-marriages%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawFYS0BleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHTG0emWojRuLtPjji6JtjnA8E37TtvYTAjnYC9QDd-sbW-3tVxJbhNGQfQ_aem_EtYpe31_a0cAB#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A2273.199999988079%7D\" height=\"952\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-origwidth=\"\" data-origheight=\"952\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Sheridan\u2019s love life continued to make headlines when she married Aaron Phypers, but the marriage only lasted six months.

Sheridan claimed that her dismissal was linked to her accusations against the show\u2019s creator, Marc Cherry, alleging that he had physically assaulted her. She sued Cherry, accusing him of being abusive towards other actors and writers on the show, but the case was dismissed in 2017.
