ADD QUOTES
- On what sets Lady Heather apart from her The O.C. persona, Julie Cooper
  Melinda: Both are very strong women, But Julie is a bigger challenge. She's a figure that doesn't exist in real life, she's a fictional character. As an actress this is a special situation. Actors love parts like that, I love such parts. You can breathe life into them on your own. However, Lady Heather is real. There are women like her out there, she's a typical representative of her trade.

- Melinda: If you ask my daughter what she thinks of her mom on TV, she'll say, "I like her, but she's me-e-e-e-an."
