Nicolette Sheridan

Yet another mention of actress Nicolette Sheridan brings attention to her time on Desperate Housewives, bringing in earnings of $175,000 per episode. Though the actress was a pro at bringing the writers’ scandalous storylines to life, the drama wasn’t restricted to the screen alone. When her character was killed off, Sheridan wasn’t exactly behind the decision.

Sheridan confesses to having a row with show-creator, Marc Cherry. Things continued to escalate between the two until they reached a boiling point, with the actress being outright fired from the show. Sheridan was so distraught at the result that she sued Disney ABC, Touchstone, and Director Marc Cherry afterward, for actions she believed were necessary based on the position she found herself in.
