She has been on stage since the age of 4 as a ballet dancer. Then, after performing Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz at age 10, a woman approached her and said, you must act! And that she did. Heidi continued to do theatre, host a talk show, act in Film, TV, commercials and Music Video's. She took a break for awhile to have her daughter in 2008, but returned to her career more passionate and driven than ever before. Heidi is divorced and lives with her daughter Sydney, their Great Dane Abbie and Fiona, the cat.
