Heather Locklear says returning to acting was easy, but she had to oversome some "fears"

Locklear hasn't acted since 2017, when she recurred on Tyler Perry's Too Close to Home on TLC. "The challenging part was it was so fearful to me," said Locklear, who stars in the Lifetime movie Don't Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story. Locklear, who turns 60 on Sept. 25, added: "I don't know why I was so fearful of memorizing lines, how about getting emotion across." Locklear had encouragement from her friend and fellow actress Valerie Bertinelli, she added, saying it "felt really good to hear from someone else fearing the way I feared."
