She drove a U-Haul to NYC to pursue her dream of becoming a Broadway star. After hustling for years in the off-off-off Broadway theatre scene, she shifted gears to TV and film in roles of a blink-and-you-miss-her prostitute on “The Sopranos” and a pastel-obsessed sales consultant on “Sex & the City.” She then drove another U-Haul across the country to LA, hoping to expand her artistic career. But life had other plans. Heather’s dreams stalled and, just like that, more than a decade passed. With her award-winning, critically-acclaimed solo show, “Title Pending,” Heather is back!
