Heather Thomas, 63 – Author

Heather Anne Thomas started acting when she was just 14, hosting an NBC talk show that saw her interview celebrities. She then starred in The Fall Guy alongside Lee Majors for its five-year run. Thomas struggled with cocaine addiction in the ‘80s, but fortunately, she entered a program. Turning her life around helped her keep landing roles until she quit acting in 1998. She left showbiz partly due to the stress from stalkers and to dedicate her time to her family. She now looks happier in her 60s and has turned her focus to the publishing world, writing both screenplays and novels.
