Heather Blair

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 We Are Marshall (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.
