Personal Life
Sheedy dated Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora for less than a year in the 1980s. She opened up to Los Angeles Times that the relationship caused her drug abuse, which Sambora denied. In 1985, Sheedy was admitted to Hazelden Foundation and in the 1990s was treated for a sleeping pill addiction, an experience on which she drew for her role as a drug-addicted photographer in High Art.
On April 12, 1992, Sheedy married actor David Lansbury, the nephew of actress Angela Lansbury and son of Edgar Lansbury, the producer of the original production of Godspell. The couple have a daughter, Rebecca, born in 1994. In May 2008, it was announced that Sheedy had filed for divorce.
