Heather went from odd job to
odd job, eventually landing various roles and bit parts in movies such
as License To Drive and the critically acclaimed Drugstore Cowboy, which
starred Matt Dillon. As well, Heather also appeared on the small screen
in the popular television drama Twin Peaks.
After some success in Hollywood, Heather decided to enroll in the
University of California at Los Angeles. Her major was English
Literature, but unfortunately she dropped out after only two years. She
did, however, come away with something positive.
It was at UCLA that Heather first read one of her favorite books by
Dostoevsky entitled "The Brothers Karamazov." It was this book that
impressed renowned actor James Woods when he first spotted the blonde
bombshell. In 1992, Heather landed a small role in Diggstown; a movie
that Woods starred in.
In the next few years that followed, Heather went on to play diverse
roles in films such as Six Degrees of Separation, which starred Will
Smith, Don't Do It and Even Cowgirls Get The Blues. While Heather was
furthering her acting career, she piqued the interest of filmmakers like
James Toback and Jon Favreau. Apparently, Favreau took Heather swing
dancing one night, and a year and a half later, she played Lorraine in
his nearly legendary movie Swingers. Toback soon after had his
opportunity to work with her and cast her in his film entitled Two Girls
and A Guy.
