It’s the turn for this great article for Daily Mail Weekend Magazine from May 17, 2008.
Right now, it’s one of my favourites interviews. She says some things we already heard, but there are some great new facts about Nicollette. And the way she talks… it brings to my memory what Jackie Collins said about people just get her as her body and our girl has brains too.

MEN AND ME
Desperate Housewife Nicollette Sheridan is paid millions to eat men for a living – but has finally found true love. And it all started with a very unlikely childhood friendship.
By Lina Das

Before entering Nicollette Sheridan’s trailer on the set of Desperate Housewives, I’m requested by her publicist to remove my shoes on account of the cream carpets. “And you can remove your clothes too,” adds Nicollette, deadpanning so convincingly, I almost break into a nervous sweat. For a second it feels as though I’ve unwittingly wandered into an alternative Wisteria Lane where Nicollette’s alter ego, man-eating Edie Britt, has decided to bat for the other team. But of course, Nicollette’s just teasing. “It’s that British sense of humour, you know,” she says, suddenly adopting a haught British accent and then collapsing into giggles.

After a career playing impossibly glamorous, sexually carnivorous vamps (remember Paige Matheson on the soap opera Knots Landing?), it’s something of a surprise meeting the Nicollette Sheridan who resides underneath them. While on Desperate Housewives her character tends to be hard-nosed and brittle, in person, Nicollette is friendly, warm, quick to laugh and, dare one say it, terribly British. Her trailer is certainly decked out like an English cottage and her accent straddles both sides of the Atlantic, the result of being born in West Sussex and spending her childhood being ferried between the US and England. “But I do consider myself British, of course I do,” she says.

Having lived in London during her formative years, one of her childhood friends was the young Bonnie Langford. “I went to the Arts Educational drama school in London and ballet was my passion,” she says. “Bonnie was my friend and my competitor. She was older than me and I looked up to her.”

AT HOME WITH NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN
It pays to be the bad. The naughtiest neighbor on Desperate Housewives has it good – very good – at her home, tucked deep in the Hollywood Hills.
By Degen Pener

Nicollette Sheridan kicked and screamed when her real estate agent wanted to show her this house . “He had me in his car, and I thought, You’d better not be taking me to that area I said i didn’t want to live in!” she recalls. “He said, ‘You have to see this house,’ I was like, ‘I’m being kidnapped, I don’t want to go.’”

Sheridan was objecting because she didn’t like the feel of the neighborhood, a tucked-away area high up in the Hollywood Hills. “It felt a little like tract-home bell,” she says. “But I walked in and said, ‘Ah this is it.’”

That was 16 years ago. Sheridan was 26 and playing vixen Paige Matheson no Knots Landing, and the house often became party central. “I had more people coming over then. Now it’s just lovely to be here, sitting out and listening to the birds,” says Sheridan, lounging poolside.

IN STEP WITH: NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN
By James Brady

When I spoke with Nicolette Sheridan on her day off from filming ABC’s campy hit show Desperate Housewives, I began by asking how she felt about her character, Edie Britt, being labeled “the local slut.” The British-born actress was very cool.

“I prefer,” she said sweetly, “the word ‘protagonist.’” In fact, Nicollette told me, she wouldn’t swap her role for any of the others. “I thoroughly enjoy my Edie,” she declared. “She’s my favorite.”
?
Does she think Housewives can go on forever? “They’ve got it back on track now,” she said. “Last year the story strayed. Now it’s back focused on the five women. And I think Edie has layers we haven’t even begun to explore.” When I cited fan complaints that Edie isn’t on more often, she said, “It’s out of my control. Tell viewers they should all write in.”

The really stunning news about Ms. Sheridan came when I asked why she left England as a child to move to L.A. “I was 10 years old, and Papa got a TV series,” she recalled. “What series?” I asked. “ Kojak,” she answered. “And what part did he play? “He was Kojak.” Her father was Telly Savalas? “ My stepfather, actually,” she said, “but to me, he was my real father. He was my Batman, my Tarzan, my Superman.”

DESPERATE FOR MORE
We couldn’t wait – and neither could they. The Wisteria women fast-forward with new beaus, problem children and a scandalous batch of secrets.
By Michael Logan

It’s been four months since the women of Wisteria Lane rallied to support Katherine Mayfair after she shot and killed her crazy ex-husband. But it’s been five years in Marc Cherry time. The creator of Desperate Housewives will send his show hurtling half a decade into the future when it returns for its fifth season on September 28. It’s a rare and radical shake-up for a hit TV series – and also pretty weird since none of the ladies will visibly age – yet there’s nothing desperate about it.

“We didn’t need to do this, we wanted to do this,” Cherry insists. “It’s given us all a new lease on life. We’re treating the season premiere like a pilot, as if we’re meeting these women all over again. We still have the big, juicy melodramatic stuff, but we’ll return to find each of the ladies at a new and more personal breaking point.”

Desperate Housewives boss Marc Cherry has heaped praise on Nicollette Sheridan – and denied claims the actress was axed from the show because of her catfights with the rest of the cast.

Cherry, the writer and director, has jumped to the defense of Sheridan, who played the feisty Edie Britt for five seasons of the hit show.

“Edie was fantastic for the show and I do not have a negative word to say about her,” says Cherry of Sheridan. “Her character was actually not supposed to have as long a run in the show but she was so good in the pilot I had to keep her in.”

“Part of my job is knowing when the end has come for any character and it was just Edie’s time. There is no animosity and there was no falling out.”

Nicollete recently opened up about her exit from the show.

“[Killing off Edie] was a risky decision that could have devastating ramifications,” she told TV Guide. “When the show started it was such a different beast. It was exciting and dangerous and funny and edgy and bizarre. It started feeling a little complacent, and that was very frustrating.”

DESPERATE NO MORE
Edie Britt’s shoking demise is nothing compared to the real story behind Nicollette Sheridan’s departure from Housewives.
By William Keck

As far as prime-time whodunits go, the demise of Desperate Housewives‘ Edie Britt on April 19 isn’t much of a mystery. Nicollette Sheridan, who has played Wisteria Lane’s naughtiest neighbor for the past five seasons, knows exactly who did her in.

“Somebody up there really wanted her dead, ” says the 45-years-old actress, referring not to the heavens, but to an even more powerful place – the office of Housewives creator Marc Cherry. Now she’s just trying to figure out the whydunit.

“I think that whoever Edie represented in Marc’s life was somebody he didn’t like,” says Sheridan. “And he had a very difficult time distinguishing between fact and fiction.”

Although Cherry was always careful to distinguish Sheridan as a supporting player to his leading foursome (Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria Parker), he consistenly served her tragic character an extra helping of desperation. Edie’s had her house burned to the ground. She’s been stung by a swarm of bees. She nearly hanged herself in a botched suicide charade. She was run over by Susan and had to spend weeks in a cast. And she jumped around from househusband to househusband like a blowup doll at a bachelor party. Still, Edie never seemed in real jeorpardy until the final moments of the March 22 episode when she narrowly escaped strangulation at the hands of her psychotic husband, Dave, only to crash her car into an electrical pole. The last we saw of poor Edie, she was lying unconscious on Wisteria Lane.

EDIE BRITT is dead. Nicollette Sheridan did a nice, low-key job. Nothing too showy. Nothing like the stunt Rob Lowe pulled when he died a few times as Senator Robert McCallister on Brothers, Sisters And Bastards. It is surprising that more people who are enveloped by that Walker family don’t need open-heart surgery. But back to Edie.

Edie Britt was always the outsider housewife who never seemed terribly desperate. She was very rarely given any real or recognisable motivations for her actions. Edie Britt: hornbag with a heart of stone; nasty, nasty husband-stealing BLONDE. She’s been the blondest woman on television for the past few years. Blonde but not entirely
stupid.

Nobody ever wanted to be Edie’s friend. She had slept with most of the menfolk but in a catty way rather than the romantic way the other girls managed to get away with. Only the audience will miss her.

And yet, Marc Cherry felt the need to devote an entire contrived episode to the Edie we never knew. Granted, Desperate Housewives has always been about the
brittle outward veneer that hides the inner desperation. Edie seemed to be the
only one not so concerned about keeping up appearances. But Cherry, in the act of killing her off, wanted to keep those appearances up for the sake of the audience. Turns out she had a heart of gold and a whole lot of qualities all those nicer, murdering, adulterous, scheming, gossiping housewives had overlooked while they were bitching about her sluttiness. Cherry underestimates us. We like that husband-stealing ho.

At least Nicollette got to do some Emmy acting in her final scenes. Plenty of big speeches and channelling Bette Davis. As all the women of the lane drive across the countryside with Edie’s ashes, it becomes clear this show is on its last legs. They all have creepy plasticine faces now (Marcia Cross is about the weirdest-looking thing on telly since Alf); their hair looks like they’re wearing expensive chemo wigs; their cardigans are all in bright colours that possibly only exist on Wisteria Lane; and Edie’s jar of ashes looks considerably livelier than the rest of the cast.

Nicollette Sheridan got a bum deal. Her character always had more potential. As an actress, she appeared to possess more ability, not to mention a face that in recent years came to resemble a sharply cut butter sculpture. When late one night with Gabby, Edie, in a tiny gold dress, confessed to dreading the evaporation of her youth, she was far more credible than Susan the Silly; Bree, the super
housewife; Gabby, the gold-digging mother of fat kids; or Lynette, who swings from dedicated homebody to killer businesswoman. Edie was a pretty party girl in a gold dress, sitting on a swing and wondering where it all went. Then she was dead. Edie Britt might be a metaphor for Desperate Housewives.

The secret to Nicollette Sheridan’s hair seems to be haircare products by WEN by Chaz Dean!

Actress Nicollette Sheridan, the former Desperate Housewives star recently stocked up on 8 bottles of the 16 oz Fig non-lathering WEN Cleansing Conditioners, and two bottles of the Fig Oil from the Chaz Dean Salon in Hollywood to help keep those golden tresses looking their on and off camera.

The show Desperate Housewives has been purchasing WEN’s full line of cleansing conditioners to use on their entire cast regularly since the show’s inception.

Since Nicollette Sheridan left the Desperate Housewives series, she’s been missing the regular treatments she received on set. Nicollette, who’s been a client of Chaz Dean for more than 15 years, relies on the Fig Cleansing Conditioner to maintain her hair’s lustre and health.

Nicollette Sheridan may not be desperate since she now has enough WEN to keep her hair looking fabulous for the rest of the season.
