"Unlike other shows," actress Heather Locklear observed, "Melrose Place has no Bible mandating what will happen. If a couple of scenes seem to work in dailies, they'll run with it. If the audience picks up on it, they'll run with it. And they'll drop all other storylines to focus on the good one."
1961: Heather Locklear was born. Also in 1961, John Fitzgerald Kennedy became America's 35th President.
"The world is very different now," Mr Kennedy remarked in his Inaugural Address. "Together," he urged, "let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce."
"Back in high school," Heather recalled, "I could never get up in front of the class. My heart pounded so badly, you could see my blouse move. Now I realize it's being yourself that's hard. Being someone else is so much easier."
Amongst Generation X, Melrose Place was the place to be in the mid-1990s. Of her character, Heather reasoned, "Amanda is misunderstood. Amanda never deliberately sets out to hurt anyone. If she has to save her ass, she'll do it. Just like we all do."
Of Melrose Place, actor Grant Show acknowledged, "For a job like that, you can't say no."
Guest star Priscilla Presley pointed out, "We've come a long way since Dallas!"
