Nicolette Sheridan

Nicolette Sheridan (born November 21, 1963 in Worthing, Sussex, England, UK) is an English actress who is probably best known for her role as "Paige Matheson" on the primetime soap opera Knots Landing, from 1986 to 1993. In 1990 she won the Soap Opera Digest Award for "Outstanding Lead Actress: Prime Time" for that role; the following year she won in the "Outstanding Heroine: Prime Time" category. At the time she was credited as Nicollette Sheridan.

Sheridan was recognized by a "worst dressed" accolade from Mr. Blackwell in 2004.

On November 15, 2004, Sheridan was caught red handed by the FCC for the introductory skit which opened that evening's Monday Night Football telecast, in which Terrell Owens and the Eagles played the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium, which was later dropped on March 14, 2005. The skit was widely condemned as being sexually suggestive, and ABC was forced to apologize for airing it (the Eagles went on to win the game, 49–21, with Owens catching three touchdown passes).
