Before long six years, trying not to lose hope, she avoided all the studios in a row and participated in endless auditions. Alas, all that she could get - a minor role in the low-budget films. "Before going to sleep I prayed:" Lord, give me at least one chance! I swear, I will certainly be able to use it and prove that I am a good actress, "- recalls Denise.
.
. She has already managed to celebrate 25 years, when he finally heard her prayers: Paul Verhoeven himself - the creator of "Basic Instinct" - approved it on one of the main roles in "Starship Troopers"
. Verhoeven gained crew of young, athletic boys and girls, demanding that the actors themselves perform complex tricks. Just for Denise is not difficult: a few years she worked kickboxing! The girl was afraid of another: the script she had to strip naked in one scene. When eventually she was lucky to finish playing the role, never taking off his space suit, Denise sighed with relief. But next time, when she received a role in the crime thriller "Wild things", she was in this sense is not lucky
.
. Directed long tried to persuade her and other young actress - Neve Campbell, explaining that risky scene is absolutely necessary for the plot
. Alas, the girl was very nervous. Finally, to feel more relaxed, they ... retired to the trailer, and when he finally came out, their cheeks clearly did not need to blush, in addition, both constantly giggling. It turned out that "for courage" they took on the robust tequila-based cocktails ... But the most important test of the actress was waiting in front. On the show "Wild stuff" came the girl's parents strict - John and Irv Richards. Fortunately, Denise managed to avoid the notation. "During the most risky episode, I asked them to blink, and they dutifully complied with my wishes," - told the actress.

But generally it reconciled with the requirements of the profession's daughter Denise is not easy for parents: they are far from show-business. In his youth, Irv worked in the telephone company in a small town near Chicago, then opened a chain of cafes, eateries in San Diego. The family moved there when Denise was fifteen. Even then she was firmly resolved, that in no case shall hold a life in San Diego, working in his father's eatery. She dreamed of Hollywood.

Classmates did not share much ambition Denise. Above it fun, and the boys even gave her the nickname offensive Fish Lips. However, they found one boy who was able to appreciate the charm of the young Miss Richards. "When we turned for twelve years, we decided it was time to kiss in a real,. But the venture did not work. My cavalier for some reason very long teeth falling out, and just before he removed the four front "- recalls Denise.
.
. At offenders girl tried not to pay attention, and once there was a small miracle: she was asked to advertise cosmetics for teens
. Cosmetics always fascinated Denise. Worthwhile mother to leave the break, as the girl arranged in front of the mirror and began to experiment with anything that was found in her mother's pouch. Of course, every time her punished, but this did not stop the stubborn child. Then the parents finally allowed her to dye. "It cost me permission to deuce in Spanish. The fact that this lesson was just the last before the lunch break, and I was, hiding the mirror under the desk, all quietly left a makeup lesson, "- recalls Denise.
.
. Activities photomodel has given her an opportunity to earn some money, but she realized that her height - 168 cm - would not allow her to make a career on the catwalk
. And one fine day, she boldly went to storm Hollywood. Richards came to acting class and soon became acquainted there with a nice young man. His name was Patrick Muldoon, and he also dreamed of becoming an actor. "When the corner of my eye I saw Denise, it was shaken. It seemed to me so beautiful. I realized that he had found the girl of his dreams "- shared later Patrick.

Since 10 years have passed, and the delight of lovers not cool down. During this time they have worked together - on the set "Starship Troopers" and the TV series "Melrose Place". Two years ago they bought a house in Los Angeles, but the wedding has not yet thought. Denise said that, of course, someday it will be solved and start a family and the child ... But so far it lacks communication with the five-year nephew - the son of her sister

And she is considering further education. Denise realized that she clearly lacks the knowledge obtained in school, once opened screenplay "World Is Not Enough". Of course, the young actress was aware that she has to play not just a Bond girl, but concurrently also an academic lady, dealing with nuclear physics. But the text was terribly tricky. Pirs, help me, I am not able to cope even with the mower, but here I do not understand a single word! " - Denise cried in despair, turning to Pierce Brosnan. "Do not worry - comforted her Brosnan. - From my experience, for the Bond girls needed only two qualities - a sense of humor and a good figure. And without the former can in extreme cases be dispensed with, but the second you have everything in perfect order ". Judging by the way Denise laughed it off, with the first - too.
