Heather Locklear Gets Real About Her Tiny Skirts on ‘Melrose Place’: ‘Could Feel My Crack’

Heather Locklear was well aware her skirts on Melrose Place were very short.

Locklear, 63, opened up about the short hem while guest starring on an episode of her former Melrose Place costars Daphne Zuniga, Laura Leighton and Courtney Thorne-Smith’s podcast, “Still the Place” earlier this week.

While chatting, the hosts giggled about Locklear, who played Amanda Woodward, rocking many skirts on the drama series, which aired from 1992 to 1999. 

“You noticed your skirts getting shorter,” one of the actresses said to Locklear. “Because you had some pretty short skirts.”

Locklear replied, “Yeah, I could almost feel my crack [while sitting down],” noting her skirts regularly rode up when she took a seat.

The women then laughed that Locklear was “exposed” and questioned if cast or crew members ever saw her “old granny underwear.”

“I don’t wear granny underwear!” Locklear defended herself, adding that she didn’t wear pantyhose back then either.

While Locklear’s character was often seen in miniskirts, Zuniga, now 62, who played Jo Reynolds, Thorne-Smith, 57, (Alison Parker) and Leighton, 56, (Sydney Andrews) were often wearing longer skirts, floral dresses, jeans and more.

Melrose Place predated the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise and followed the women’s lives as they lived in a Los Angeles apartment. Zuniga, Leighton and Thorne-Smith launched their podcast in July 2024 where they re-watch every episode of the show and go over the plot.

Ahead of the launch, Leighton told People she would be “thrilled” to reboot the series. “I think it’d be a perfect full-circle thing to have,” she said. “It would be a dream to reconnect with everybody.”
