Heather Matarazzo has been captivating movie-going audiences for almost two decades.  Her unique talent and on-screen charm have earned her critical acclaim, including an Independent Spirit Award for her debut film, Welcome to the Dollhouse. 

Heather quickly followed up Dollhouse with a breakout performance in Taylor Hackford's thriller The Devil’s Advocate.  In the following years, she worked non-stop on such films as 54, Getting to Know You, Scream 3, Sorority Boys, Freshman Orientation and the critically acclaimed television movie, Our Guys: Outrage at Glen Ridge, in which Ms. Matarazzo played a mentally challenged teen who is raped by a group of high school students. 

In 1997 Heather joined the cast of the smash hit series Roseanne for the final season.  In 1999 she began production on Glenn Gordon Carron’s Now and Again, the largely successful sci-fi television show for CBS. In 2001 Heather starred in Disney’s box-office hit The Princess Diaries, directed by Garry Marshall.

That same year, Heather starred in Service Men off Broadway and made her Broadway debut in the Roundabout Theatres production of The Women, for which she was hailed “the next Joan of Ark” by the New York Observer. Following up her Broadway debut, Heather went into production for the sleeper hit Saved with Mandy Moore, Jena Malone and Mary Louise Parker.  

 She expanded her fan base with her controversial work in Eli Roth’s Hostel: Part II.

Most recently Heather produced and starred in MANGUS, an independent feature film costarring Jennifer Coolidge, Leslie Jordan and John Waters.
