Where
is She Now: Heather continued to act after 'The Fall Guy' ended in 1986, but
she quit acting in 1998... BUT... she just mentioned that her children are old
enough now that she feels comfortable getting back into acting after a decade's
break.
She has stayed busy writing screenplays and being active in politics.
In
April 2008, she released her first novel, 'Trophies' and her schedule has been
packed. She's getting ready to tour to promote the novel.
It's about politically active Hollywood wives. Readers shouldn't expect a
satire, however. Thomas wrote the book with a strong point: Much of the
industry's charitable and political giving is driven by the moguls' wives. They
are a force of their own.
"They have the money and the time," Thomas said. "What are you going to do?
You're going to change the world."
Heather has been in the news lately as monthly gatherings, called breakfast
salons, in her home in Santa Monica have have become a must-invite for Hollywood
and D.C. types.
From John Edwards, to Nancy Pelosi many have made the rounds there over the
years. For more details on this
