Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Heather Locklear was a familiar face on our television screens. The actress, who was born in California, was sexy back in the day. She is probably best known for portraying the glitzy Sammy Jo Carrington in the enduring television series Dynasty.
And did you know that Heather’s daughter, who is her only child, resembles her famous mother to a tee?

Early in the 1980s, she made her first appearances on film, and Dynasty was where she had her major break. The young Heather had the face of a Disney princess in real life when she played Sammy Jo Carrington, which propelled her to fame.

Yes, some might argue that she was just a typical, attractive blonde TV actress—nothing special. On Melrose Place, though, she had a badass personality, and it seemed as though things got more interesting whenever she was present. There is no doubt that Heather could act because of the four Golden Globe nominations she received for her portrayal of the heartless Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place. However, it’s difficult to fully understand her career without also understanding her personal life.
Heather, a former wife of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, who she divorced in 1993, was frequently pictured in the arms of legendary rock musicians during the 1980s. She later wed Richie Sambora, lead guitarist for Bon Jovi. After a civil ceremony in New Jersey in 1994, the couple got married in a formal ceremony in Paris in front of family and friends. The designer of the lavish Dynasty costumes, Nolan Miller, also created the candlelight white gown that the Melrose Place star wore. For 13 years, Heather and Richie were together, during which time their daughter Ava Sambora was their only child.
Ava Elizabeth Sambora, a daughter of Heather Locklear, was born on October 4, 1997. She didn’t have what would be considered a typical childhood, I believe. Ava used to frequently perform onstage with Jon Bon Jovi when she was a young girl. On occasion, she danced with the band members and introduced them to the crowd.
She could have easily had a nightmare childhood because she was the daughter of two famous people. Ava is a very intelligent and well-educated woman today, so it appears that she did okay.
She cherished being a cheerleader in high school. It’s an adrenaline rush, she told Teen Vogue, “I like being thrown in the air. Ava earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Loyola Marymount University in 2020 and had a final GPA of 4 points. After that, she made the decision to enroll at the University of Southern California for a master’s program in marriage and family therapy.
The young lady has also dabbled in acting and appears to have followed in the footsteps of her well-known mother. During Los Angeles Fashion Weekend in 2010, the 25-year-old walked the runway for her father’s clothing line, “White Trash Beautiful,” making her acting debut in the film This Is 40. She recently uploaded a picture of herself in a dress holding a bouquet of tulips from 2020. She received thousands of comments on her post praising how much she resembled her well-known mother.
Ava wrote: “I like flowers,” along with a tag to her friend Sarah Wermers, while posing in a leopard-print dress and wearing her long, blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail.
People believe that Ava has Heather’s former TJ Hooker looks from more recent pictures and videos, as stated by one follower who wrote: “You truly are a stunning beauty, taking after your beautiful mother!!”. One person remarked when Ava was being interviewed by ET, “My gosh, she is her mother, even her voice sounds like Heather’s.”. Others claim that while Ava and Heather are both attractive, they don’t notice much of a resemblance.
Her 61-year-old mother recently posted a series of images on her Instagram page to wish her daughter a happy graduation from LMU.

a blog post that Heather Locklear (@heatherlocklear) shared.
The 25-year-old blonde appears to be a pleasant young woman with her priorities in order overall. It is said that she and her mother are very close. According to the aspiring actress, she would “love to follow in my mother’s footsteps” professionally, she told US Weekly in 2018. A Dark Foe, an independent crime thriller starring Selma Blair, was Ava’s most recent acting role. In addition to her stellar academic achievements and burgeoning film career, Ava has also found her soulmate, so hopefully we will see more of this talented woman in the future. Tyler Farrar, an investment associate at Pacific Partners Real Estate Investments, is her boyfriend, according to SCMP.
2019 saw the beginning of their relationship.
Recent pictures of Ava remind me of so many wonderful memories from the 1980s; it’s like going back in time to see her. Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, perhaps, could you get better-looking DNA from your parents?
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story receives its world premiere on October 14, 2021, at the Orinda Theatre in Orinda, California, with guests Heather Locklear and Jason MacDonald (R). It appears that Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora did a fantastic job of raising this young lady (photo by Kimberly White/Getty Images). I admire and love Ava because she is so mature and down to earth.
