Playing Dorothy in her grade school's theatrical production of "The Wizard of Oz" whetted Heather's desire to be an actress. So at Agoura High School, Heather took drama classes and appeared in the school's theatrical productions. While there, she impressed many of her schoolmates with her talent.

After high school, she headed out to Hollywood. She started doing TV, and landed her first movie role as Mercedes, Les' (Corey Haim) love interest, in the 1988 indie flick "License to Drive." She followed that with "Drugstore Cowboy" (1989).

Heather then enrolled in UCLA with a major in English. However, after two years, she could no longer resist the lure of showbiz and dropped out of school to pursue acting again.

She got roles in notable movies such as "Six Degrees of Separation" (1993) and "Swingers" (1996) before "Boogie Nights" (1997) came along. In this movie about the porn industry, she played the dim-witted, but sexy Rollergirl. The movie got people talking - and looking too.

Her next big movie was "Lost in Space" (1998) where she played Judy Robinson. The movie was a disappointment at the box office but it was Heather's first big budget movie. She plays opposite Mike Myers in the upcoming "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999) as Felicity Shagwell.
