From Sitcom Star to Centerfold: ‘Three’s Company’ Icon Reflects on Playboy Photos and Denise Richards’ Divorce

A beloved face from classic television is opening up about life beyond the small screen. In a recent interview featured in Fox News Entertainment’s newsletter, a former star from the hit sitcom Three’s Company shared candid reflections about her decision to pose for Playboy, as well as her thoughts on actress Denise Richards’ high-profile divorce.

The actress, known for her wholesome on-screen image, revealed that stepping in front of the camera for Playboy was both empowering and liberating:
“I was ready to show a different side of myself,” she explained. “It wasn’t about shocking people — it was about owning my confidence.”

Alongside her personal story, she also commented on Denise Richards’ much-publicized split, expressing empathy for Richards while emphasizing the pressures of balancing fame and personal life:
“It’s never easy when your private world becomes everyone’s business,” she said.

Both revelations have sparked conversation among fans, showing that even decades after their original fame, these stars continue to shape Hollywood’s narrative — both on and off camera.
