Biography
Heather Paige hails from Augusta, Georgia. Her mother, Lynette, an African American hairstylist, and her father, Ken, a nuclear engineer of Jewish/Caucasian descent, influenced her diverse background. After relocating to a small farm town in Southeast Nebraska, she took additional courses in theatre, filmmaking, and creative writing. During her teenage years, she spent summer breaks studying film at the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film at the University of Nebraska Lincoln and the University of Tulsa’s Department of Film Studies. At seventeen, she was cast as Juliet in the Kansas City Renaissance Festival, sparking her passion for acting. At eighteen, she moved to Los Angeles.
Following three years of writing and acting training and numerous auditions, she landed the role of Kelly, a slightly OCD sorority president, in the comedy feature Alpha House. This role led to more lead parts, including Alejandra, a young lesbian teen in the thriller Prom Ride (2015), and Sienna, an emotionally detached maid of honor, in the Hangover-meets-Bridesmaids comedy Bachelor Night (2015).
Later this year, Heather Paige will appear as Jennifer, a charismatic scream queen, in the slasher film Minutes to Midnight, starring alongside William Baldwin and horror legend Bill Moseley.
