Even though 'Heathers' didn't make a lot of money, I really was able to transition into a situation where people thought I could play an attractive role because of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Heathers' was probably the first time when I started to notice that people were opening doors for me and giving me tables at restaurants, regardless of what I was wearing.

Heather knows why and when her marriage ended with Richie and she knows why my marriage ended with Charlie.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
In my early years, there were a number of experiences that made me decide I could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. There were a number of issues I wanted to address. And I wanted to use my career as a platform.
