9. Nicolette Sheridan

Nicolette Sheridan has very angular features, which her makeup artists soften up when she’s in front of the camera. Without her makeup tricks however, she looks very masculine and unrecognizable.

Here’s some trivia about the famous Edie Britt (her character in Desperate Housewives).

In April 2010, she filed a $20 million lawsuit against Desperate Housewives creator and producer Marc Cherry and ABC Television, alleging that she was assaulted by Cherry on the set of the show and was later fired when she reported the suggested abuse to the network.

In her lawsuit, Sheridan claimed wrongful termination, assault and battery, gender violence, discrimination based on sex orientation and age and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

She also alleged that Cherry was abusive to other cast members and writers.

ABC responded by stating that while they were unaware of this particular complaint, they had investigated similar reports by Sheridan and reportedly found them to be false. The show’s stars, (Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria), supported Cherry in his battle against Sheridan’s allegations.

Sheridan was almost kicked out of The Buckley School when she was caught forging her mother’s signature. Her mother sent her to Millfield, a no-nonsense girl’s school outside London, which she graduated from in 1981.

She originally auditioned for the role of Bree Van de Kamp (played by Marcia Cross) on Desperate Housewives before getting the role of Edie Britt.

She has only one ear pierced. Her earrings are mostly clip on.

She was considered for the role of Rose in titanic and almost got the role of Grace in Will & Grace.
