Kim Walker(1968-2001)
- Actress
Known for her supporting roles, Kim Walker was an up and coming young
actress in Hollywood before retiring from the business in the late
1990s. As a teen she landed a few guest roles in series such as
Matlock (1986) and
Highway to Heaven (1984)
before moving on to supporting roles in feature films such as
Say Anything (1989) and
several made-for-television films. However, Kim Walker will forever be
remembered for her role as Heather Chandler in the now cult-classic
Heathers (1988) which starred a young
Winona Ryder in her first starring role.
The role, which had Kim playing possibly the nastiest, most difficult
teenager in the history of film won her acclaim and a legion of fans
due to her legendary lines and her on-screen persona in this black
comedy about high school life. With such lines as "You're such a
pillowcase!", and "Did you eat a brain tumor for breakfast?", Walker
was a scene stealer during the first half of the film. While later
roles did not match the stardom attained in "Heathers," Walker's acting
career continued in the form of supporting roles.
