It could have been the end of the world. Planet Earth was being destroyed by alien bugs, but we were more concerned with the survival of one pilot – a busty, buxom, blue-eyed brunette, whose raw sexuality completely diverted our attention from the multi-million dollar special effects in the film. Starship Troopers was the flick, and Denise Lee Richards was the pilot. As if that role wasn't hot enough, she's back on the big screen in Wild Things – getting her gear off and getting it on with Neve Campbell and Matt Dillon in a raunchy threesome. After graduating from El Camino High School in Oceanside, California, Denise moved to LA to begin a modelling career. Her drop-dead looks took her to Tokyo, Paris and New York. Soon she was the face of Bonné Bell make up and had done more than her fair share of swimsuit modelling. Many bikini pics can be found on internet sites dedicated to Denise. Catching the acting bug, Denise first appeared on TV in Doogie Howser M.D. and went on to brighten up episodes of Married With Children, Melrose Place, Lois & Clark, Weird Science and Seinfeld. She made her movie debut in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1, and followed it up with starring roles in Tammy And The T-Rex, 919 Fifth Avenue, Nowhere then Starship Troopers and Wild Things. Denise seems to have finally earned herself a place as a Hollywood film regular. © Chris Sheedy/the hard word |
