‏Heather Bloom‏

Heather was born and raised in a farming community near St. Paul, Minnesota, and has been a fighter all her life. When pneumonia hit at age six, it put Heather into a plastic bubble but it could not keep her there. Time indoors turned Heather into a voracious reader, pouring over Encyclopedia Britannica articles for hours at a time. Her health began to improve dramatically, as did her creativity and knowledge of music, art, film, and literature. She and her highly imaginative friends were always seen around the neighborhood creating, writing, acting in, and producing plays or improvising sensational mysteries and action adventures.After graduation, Heather moved to Montana where she met and married her husband Andrew of the USAF. His career allowed them to travel and live in many interesting locales, and through the years Heather has done it all! She has volunteered her time to various local productions acting, singing, set painting & construction, casting, coaching, wardrobe & makeup. But only recently did things begin to get serious.Heather was asked to host a local cable show interviewing politicians, business owners, community leaders, and noted celebrities. This time on screen, along with the burgeoning influx of film opportunities in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, opened the door to being Taft-Hartleyed on her very first film, "Factory Girl". The late George Hickenlooper (director of the acclaimed "Casino Jack") urged her to get an agent and told her that her talents were undisputed. Since then she has continued to train and work steadily on several other independent films, television shows, and commercials. She has had the privilege of appearing onscreen with Kevin Costner, Samuel L. Jackson, John Schneider, William Devane, Ashton Kutcher, Ron Perlman, Nicolas Cage, Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, and many other gifted performers. Since Hollywood practically showed up on her back doorstep, she and her management team decided to create a series of video diaries to give viewers a peek into some of the highs & lows behind the scenes. Her website includes not only the vlogs, but also her humorous essays, insights, original poems, and a store featuring her "Purrzone' Bloom" handbags, as well as many more projects in the works. To Heather's surprise, complete strangers often approach her in restaurants and clubs to ask if she is in the film business. Repeated requests for her autograph and photo (without even knowing her name) happen so often that Heather is convinced this is one career that isn't going away any time soon!
