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 asMatlock (1986) andHighway to Heaven (1984)before moving on to supporting roles in feature films such asSay 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-classicHeathers (1988) which starred a youngWinona 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.
