Viva La Diva - Nicollette Sheridan

IS A FIGHTER, BOTH ON SCREEN—AS SHE TAKES ON THE ROLE OF ONE OF TV’S GREATEST VILLAINS, ALEXIS CARRINGTON OF DYNASTY—AND OFF SCREEN,AS HER LAWSUIT AGAINST HER FORMER EMPLOYER DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES CONTINUES.

THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO, ALEXIS CARRINGTON sauntered into a courtroom during Dynasty’s season 1 finale and introduced America to one of television’s most iconic villains. With a huge white hat, black veil, and power suit, she changed the course of the series and bolstered ratings. Now The CW’s Dynasty reboot hopes to recapture that magic when it unveils its version of Alexis on March 23. “You only get to bring her in once,” showrunner Sallie Patrick says. “We’ve found our own way to pay tribute to Alexis’ OG entrance and that fabulous outfit.” But no matter what she’s wearing, the moment Alexis walks onto the show, hers won’t be the only comeback that gets people talking. This time around, “Enter Alexis”—the title of the original Dynasty’s fateful episode—might as well be called “Enter Nicollette.”
