Since Aaron Spelling was also the producer for another show called “T.J. Hooker”, he cast Locklear for a role there too. In 1982 she joined during the second season and that was when she got to meet the very talented William Shatner. When the show was eventually cancelled, Locklear was able to fully dedicate herself to “Dynasty”.
