Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Heather: It is with great regret that I have decided to leave the cast of OLTL. The time has come for me to return to Los Angeles and pursue other creative avenues. I have loved my time in New York City, and I have been so lucky to have known and worked with some of the best people in daytime. The love and support from everyone on the set, and from my fans, has meant more to me than anyone can imagine.
-
Heather: I've done lots and lots of theatre. I'm starting a new show in October called The Secret Lives Of Marilyn And Jackie, in which I play Marilyn Monroe. It should be fun. We're going to start it in Pittsburgh and then move it to New York.
-
Heather: I'm heavily involved in charity work, particularly for a group called 'Planned Parenthood'. I've been doing some writing, too. I wrote an article for a gay publication on 25 years of HIV, and have been speaking out on women's health.
-
Heather: (staying in touch with Y&R actors Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott) I talk to them often. They have been super-supportive. When you work with people for 13 years, you don't just say goodbye and never see them again. It's been nice to keep that connection.
-
Heather: (on the role of Victoria on Y&R) She will always be dear to my heart. I originated the character. I threw a lot of myself into her.
-
Heather: (on watching Y&R since she left) I see it every now and then. It doesn't come on at a good time for me in New York, where I now live, because I'm usually working on One Life To Live when it's on.
-
Heather: (on Amelia Heinie taking her place in the Y&R) I haven't seen her as Victoria, but I saw her work on All My Children. I'm sure she is doing a great job.
