Heather Blair was born on Thursday, 14 August, 1980 in Tucson, Arizona,
USA to Janet Blair and Dr. David
Edens, PhD. Her father was a professor of Botany and Ecology at West
Virginia State University (and Marshall University) and is now retired.
Heather's mother was an educator, as well. She is an only child.
Heather started out in showbiz at the age of fifteen by being asked to
be in a short film called
Weedkiller (1995), which was being
filmed in downtown Tucson. Until then, she had acted extensively in
local and school theaters and was a "lovely assistant" to a magician.
Heather filmed another short, this time with a larger part, in
Rick Gutierrez's 2002 film
Affection (2002). Heather made her
independent film debut in a segment of
Tessa Blake and
Ian Williams's 2003 film
The Pink House (2003). Heather did
the vocals for a friend's
Survivor (2000) audition, which
almost won him a slot on the show. She followed up with two feature
films, McG's film
Sie waren Helden (2006) and
Scott A. Martin's
Of the Flesh (2007).
In between films, Heather continues to hone her skills with work in
plays and musicals (see other works). She was at one point in charge of
Kanawha Players Briefs & Shorts (monthly short plays & sketch series in
Charleston) and was later on the Board of Directors as Secretary and
their webmaster.
