Charlie Sheen has settled a lawsuit filed against him by a woman claiming that one of the characters on his hit television show Two and a Half Men was based on her.

Ursula Auburn had sued Sheen in April 2006, claiming that the "wacky neighbour and female stalker Rose" on the show was based on her. The way Rose talks, dresses and looks all resemble Auburn, the lawsuit said. Sheen never sought Auburn's permission, according to the suit.

The suit was settled on March 14 according to Superior Court documents, which did not disclose more details.

Calls Saturday night to Sheen's attorney, Bruce Isaacs, and Auburn's attorney, Edward Kang, were not immediately returned.

The lawsuit said there were numerous situations on the show involving Rose and Sheen's character, Charlie Harper, that resembled experiences Auburn had with the actor.

That included an episode in which Rose creates a website detailing Harper's womanising ways, according to the suit. In real life, Auburn created a website detailing her relationship with Sheen.
