What Happened to Denise Richards?

- As far as 1990s and 2000s-era screen goddesses go, Denise Richards was probably the biggest of them all. From her role in Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers to her iconic turn in Wild Things, Denise Richards was a formative crush for many of us who came of age in that era, and the image of Richards emerging from a swimming pool in Wild Things was enough to make many teenage pulses flutter. In this episode of What Happened to this Celebrity, we take a look at Richards’ rise to fame, from early roles in low-budget fare such as Tammy & the T-Rex to her eventual breakthrough to her controversial casting as nuclear physicist Dr. Christmas Jones in the James Bond epic The World is Not Enough and beyond.
Arguably, the late nineties and early 2000s were her peak, with her memorably turning up on Friends in a guest spot as Ross’s hot cousin, performing perhaps the most iconic hair flip of all time in her big reveal. She also settled down with notorious bad boy Charlie Sheen for a while, and despite their separation, was notably supportive during his eventual mental health crisis and HIV diagnosis. That seems to be a familiar refrain, with many noting that despite often playing an ice goddess on-screen, Richards is widely considered down-to-earth, approachable and kind in real life.
We also dig into some of her more underrated movies, like Drop Dead Gorgeous and Undercover Brother, and check in to see what she’s up to nowadays, with the still gorgeous actress looking like she’s living a pretty swell life with a role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Will she return to the big screen anytime soon? We’ll dig into that in What Happened to Denise Richards, which is written (with Mathew Plale), narrated and produced by Taylor James Johnson, and edited by Kier Gomes.

She was a 90's bombshell her best movie's definitely Starship Troopers and Wild Things
Undercover Brother
@@lizardog That was good to
Thanks for the GOOD ADVICE 😉
@@Broco1L Funny comedy
Drop Dead Gorgeous was peek Denise Richards for me
He was absolutely one of the most attractive and hottest actresses of the 90s. Wild things was an iconic movie for many men
She was a He, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. My youth destroyed
I met Denise while working on the direct to dvd movie Send It! Super sweet woman and all around nice to talk to, even answered a fan boy question I had for her.
so what was the question?
Yeah what was the question?
@@erniehudson1 Yeah, what a pr*ck for not sharing that.
@@agentorange3774 Yeah, what a pr*ck for not sharing that.
And what was the question?
She’s in my absolute favorite movie “Drop Dead Gorgeous”. Now that I’m a filmmaker it get better and better when I watch it.
drop dead gorgeous is one of the finest movies ever written and made happen. and the cast kills it, none stop and rip kirstie alley and brittany murphy.
i think the movie is also underrated. its rare one comes across someone that knows about it, much less likes it
One of the best movies of all time
@@catwiesel_81 saw it when I was a kid with my mom in theaters we freaking loved it
She was damn fine in Valentine
I had seen her in most of her starting roles, but when she appeared in World is Not Enough, I first thought: wow! She would make a great Lara Croft. I wonder how that would have worked out if they had cast her for that role...
I had the same thought. I liked the Jolie Tomb Raider movies enough, but I think Denise Richards would’ve been better.
Wow… I thought the same, the only thing I could think of is Denise isn’t really athletic enough to pull action stunts at that level
Damn. NEver thought of that until this comment.. but when I think about it yeah she has the look I wonder if she would of been able to pull the accent off…. But like the other comment said is she athletic enough?
The fact she took Charlie Sheen's kids into her home that were not hers speaks to her class.
It's so weird how being miscast while her career was on a rising trajectory pretty much sent her crashing into the C-tier list of celebrities. Hollywood really is a crazy place.
That said, the fact that since then she has just kept working even if just in low profile productions, supporting some good causes while not falling into the pitfalls of crazy controversial actions, political extremism and similar, it is already enough for me to like her more than the majority of Hollywood and tv celebrieties and has-beens.
On a side now, what a stunning 50 years old lady she has become.
Ok but let’s not lie to ourselves, her acting is really bad in everything except for Wild things. She’s probably one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen
Denise Richards was underuntilised by every director. Wild Things and Starship Troopers proved that she could rise to the challenge if given a decent role.
I don't see how a director getting her to dance around with an effigy of Christ on the cross can be called "underutilised".
She was great in Wild things but her acting in Starship troopers ranged from terrible to average - however it suited the movie she was in
Charlie Sheen is what happened to Denise Richards. If she avoided him and focused on perfecting her acting chops, she would've bee a huge star by now
I was her Props Master in a scene she did on a movie in December 2021. She was super chill and down to earth just like you say. She was easy to get along with friendly, funny and nice. She was my number one celebrity crush in the late 90s and I was really happy that her personality was so fantastic
Most definitely one of the hottest women from the '90s her career should have been bigger and brighter.
If she was a better actress, I'm sure she would be in the same league as Kirsten Dunst or Scarlett Johansson today.
@@barbiquearea I think she was hotter than both of them by far
@@scionixx9568 agree. But she didn’t have the acting chops they do, unfortunately. She’s _good enough,_ but not _great._
@@barbiquearea she's quite a good comedic actress.
@@barbiquearea She's at least a good an actress as Kirsten Dunst.
As much as I had a huge teen crush on her, I have only heard nice things about her. She's a good kid.
She actually was very nice I got to meet her in Miami , Florida when she was filming wild things I got to meet Matt Dillon and took a pic and autograph I was a lot younger. To be honest her and Matt where very humble . I was blessed to attend by being a extra for two days but had to go back to school. So she’s very beautiful more humble to be transparent then Neve Campbell from scream , Kevin bacon saw him from far . I’m so happy Charlie didn’t destroy her health . I just saw toy box thriller it was decent
Oh and my favorite is when she does a scene in show friends love that episode where she does her hair thing and everyone stares haha
Denise is so beautiful and had a unique look to her. Shd was amazing in comedy and even in horror i wish we saw more of that from her.
I love Undercover Brother. That is a good movie.
undercover brother is a kickass flick !
Loved "Undercover brother", very under rated.
Absolutely entertaining and informative as always. Superb. Thank you for all the what the f happened to videos ❤😊❤😊❤
As far as I know, the only movies I’ve seen her in are Starship Troopers and World Is Not Enough
Was she the bond girl where pierce says he thought Christmas only came once a year😂....as a kid that went over my head...my dad laughed like crazy tho
@@thecunninlynguist That is the only line I remember from any bond movie beside him saying his name. LOL
@The CunninLynguist I was a kid too when I first saw this film. My dad did not buy her being a nuclear physicist. He thought it was too ridiculous and she was badly miscast. Honestly I think they should have given her glasses and tie her hair into a bun to show professionalism, instead of looking like a centrefold model the entire time.
You should check out Wild Things
Definitely gotta check out wild things.
I've enjoyed many of her film choices, when she did Starship Troopers andDrop Dead Gorgeous, she gain some serious respect brownie points from this cinephile. Her choices seemed intellectually and dynamically varied. Always fun, always cleverly ditzy, always beautiful and not afraid to hide it.
Undercover Brother
I don't think you should disregard "Valentine (2001)" to the degree you did. I think there's a significant amount of people watching her horror movie every year. Maybe it's just my perception.
Yeah it got overlooked coz teen horror was getting overdone but it’s actually one of the best teen horror movies I’ve ever seen!
Denise Richards was really hot in the 1990s. Her performances in Starship Troopers, Drop Dead Gorgeous, and Wild Things were great.
I also loved her performance in the third Scary Movie film where she had a short scene with Charlie Sheen. It was really funny. She should have transitioned into comedies, maybe even have her own hit sitcom show.
"Wild Things" forever in my mind!
Whoever does the voice over for this series makes me laugh out loud in a literal sense.
Check the end credits you'll find out
Denise has decent acting chops, and she was great in Drop Dead Gorgeous, Starship Troopers and Wild Things, to name but a few. Shame that her career never became bigger.
She is basically the Megan Fox of the 90s.
@@barbiquearea , that doesn’t make any sense lol.
Denise is a decent human; M.F. is a narcissistic dipshit.
Megan tried to be like Denise and failed.
@@barbiquearea Yes!!! I've always said that!!
She was definitely one of my biggest crushes growing up. One of the most beautiful actresses ever.
81 / 5.000
Honestly. Since Starship Troopers and I won't forget Denise Richards!
Thank you . One of my crushes for sure... Now I know she doing just fine. Glad she gave them the finger on Housewives. Good for her
Guest starred in Friends - the iconic "hairwhip" scenes with Ross
My first celebrity crush back in the 90s.
She was really beautiful in her prime, with her perfect smile. Starship Troopers is just an all round great movie.
Drop Dead Gorgeous was absolutely hilarious. It's definitely on par with Mean Girls or Legally Blonde, and for what it's worth, Valentine was a great horror romp (Idc what anyone says about it.) I also loved her on The Bold and the Beautiful as well as Starship Troopers. Her career shows just how versatile she can be and how much fun she has regardless of how serious or ridiculous the role. 90's Hollywood is better for having her! 🎉
Undercover Brother
Um, can't we focus on Starship Troopers? Because it's highly underrated.
to be COMPLETELY honest romantically i did do and will really really LOVE denise richards because she's LITERALLY always had and still has an EQUALLY attractive really really GREAT looking model/movie star face to go along with her previous 80% vegetarian diet
Denise Richards is appreciated.
I didn't know alot of this, she sounds like a really smart and nice person.
Answer: she had a career that far exceeded her talent. And she was lucky to be given the opportunity to cash in her looks when she was young
This. It's basically the same reason why other actresses such as Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Jennifer Love Hewett were all "it girls" in their heyday. They were (and some of them still are) gorgeous bombshells, but lacked true sufficient acting talent or range to have the kind of lasting power as Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson have to keep their careers going.
Straight up, Undercover Brother is a cult classic in the cult classic community.
Extra mayo for me, please!
Her best role by far.
Oh man..I had a big crush on her! She was stunning to me in 'Starship Troopers' 🥲
Wild things for me😍🥰
I wish she'd stuck with satire/comedy movies. She's very good with those. I remember when got custody of her ex's kids. That shows what a caring person she is.
I saw her at the World is not Enough premier in London...Yeah!👍
She was great on Bold and the Beautiful!
Movie stars are a thing of the past anyway. Good on ya, Denise!
True. Better to be a working actress. Movie stars are far and between, and most are miserable anyways.
I met her IRL. It is hard to believe but she is even more beautiful than in film
She was in undercover brother too lol
Her greatest role to date..."BLACK MAN'S KRYPTONITE" 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏾
Saying that she is beautiful is an understatement.
Denise Richards was my celebrity crush as a child (for obvious reasons). But I don't think she can ever look bad. Even in her 70's she'll still be beautiful to me.
Mine was Sharon Stone. Unfortunately, Father Time isn’t kind to gorgeous women.
I absolutely love "Undercover Brother"😂 must be my age..
Undercover Brother is hilarious.
Ohh man I use to watch wild things when I was a kid all the time just for Denise Richard’s she was such a baddie
I saw her on this lifetime movie a few months ago and she was a stepmother with cruel intentions.. her stepdaughter was a cheerleader.
I love love love her ! I think she is the best and She ain't done yet!
The first crush I had that was an obsession. She was perfect. So hot.
Apparently, I’m the only one that remembers her doing an episode of Lois and Clark.
Undercover Brother was hilarious!
One of the most beautiful woman in Hollywood amazing actress wonderful human being ❤❤❤❤
Undercover Brother IS a good movie! Dave Chappelle steals the show. Eddie Griffin holding his orange soda as his car spins 50x is epic.
Fantastic!! True 90s Bomb shell in Alot Of Really cool Movies! 😎👊✊ She's Probably Doing just Fine thank you very much lol She's Cool 😊👍👌🍁♈
She’s always been 🥱👎🏾 to me
SHE WAS IN AN AWFUL FILM CALL JUNKYARD DOGS 😂😂 IT WAS STRAIGHT TO VIDEO
I think also his cameo in Love actually and also in Scary movie 3 with Charlie sheen were fucking hilarious
The way she flipped over that huge coffee table in one move
'Bravo, Bravo, f**king Bravo!' (you know if you know) 😂
it's her eyes... love it
Undercover Brother and Drop Dead Gorgeous are prime evidence that Ms. Richards is not just a good sport but also a very deft comedic actress, in the Monroe mold.
She's an inspiration that you can be super hot and still be a down to earth person with a good moral compass who knows right from wrong and leads by example.
Eh, good moral compass? She does only fans with her daughter so that's up to the individual to judge I guess. Still a smokeshow though.
@@brandocalrissian3294 WITH HER DAUGHTER???
@@laladoopsy basically the story goes that her daugter (of legal age) started an Only Fans account and was viciously attacked for her, so Denise started one to in support of her.
Hope they re-release Drop Dead Gorgeous on Blu ray or DVD one day
Watch your tongue, undercover brother is a great movie!
Yes it is.
Fun Fact:
Denise Richards auditioned for the role of Beth in *"H/>LLOWEEN 6",* but des-pite a positive reception by writer Dan Farrands and associate producer Malek Akkad, she was deemed by Dimension Films (under the Weinstein Brothers) to be "too sexy".
Were it not for the Weinsteins, we could have had Blofeld (Donald Pleasence), Scaramanga (Sir Christopher Lee, as
the twist-villain: Dr. Terence Wynn) and Christmas Jones (Denise Richards) to-gether in one Halloween film.
"Tammy and the T-Rex" is a movie that everybody should have seen at least once! A cultural milestone! And Denise Richards is really hot in it! :)
Greetings from Germany
posso Can I tell you something as an Italian woman? You are so pretty! you look so much better in
a little made-up version! you look like Denise Richard when she was younger ! Everyone can be beautiful with lots of well-applied makeup, but few are beautiful naturally! And you are very attractive!
at 10:06 please tell me what restaurant this is that previously had denise richards
I loved Loaded Weapon 1 and starship troopers
Tammy and the trex plays on the game “high on life” 😂 I watched the whole movie
She was great on Blue Mountain State. Especially the vagazziling episode.
she was gold in BMS
This woman has the most charming smile I've ever seen
She my high school movie crush on Starship Troopers.
Starship troopers is definitely Denise richards best role.
You should watch Wild things it’s great fun
Why was Kambakht Ishq(2009) not included in this list?
*She was an attractive good actress in the 90s!*
Undercover Brother was a great movie
There's no shame in starring in a lot of movies. Maybe that doesn't make her a "star" but being a working actress, making a living in a town like Holywood counts for something.
It must be weird to be voted the best looking in your school, and then for the next 20 years have everyone you meet tell you how good looking you are. She's still got it. We don't see her at all here in Europe.
She was so good in Blue Mountain State
Damn, she aged worse than I thought.
She's 52 but looks at least ten years younger.
@@barbiquearea if you say so. You probably think Nicole Kidman hasn't aged much either. To me, she was barely recognizable at first.
You didn't mention her amazing part in 2022 guardians of justice, where she plays the wife of the Super Man stand in of the show.
Always remember her in Action Pack
I love 30 Rock so much
Also saved by the bell
“Get a good look, Constanza?”
She is concrete proof that men age like wine and women age like milk...
“Kinda lame Valentine” I think your talking about yourself, Valentine rules!!!
Denise is 52 now, yet she still looks like she's in her 40s. She still looked young enough to play high school students, even though she was in her twenties at the time.
I know, right?!?!
She don't hardly look like she is in her 40s 😂/look young.😊
Looks young???????? Uuuuuh nope
If she didnt have all that crap injected into her face she could have looked so much better and aged gracefully, just something i hate that women feel they need to do. Even young women do it.
@@leesoutham3237 And dollops of make up
If you have to be addicted to something "working" and "acting" are not bad options.
Remember her as the daughter of Bob Balaban on Seinfeld. 😂
I like her even more, after your video.
My dad thought she looked my sister. So she's ok in my book lol. She's beautiful and funny.. good for her
Um, even though I'm and old guy, I can truthfully say I never watch her for her ... intellect!
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!
