Biography

Kim Walker, a talented young actress, made a name for herself in Hollywood with a string of supporting roles before eventually retiring from the industry in the late 1990s.

As a teenager, Walker landed a few guest roles on popular television series, including Matlock in 1986 and Highway to Heaven in 1984.

She then transitioned to supporting roles in feature films, such as Say Anything in 1989, and several made-for-television movies.

However, Kim Walker is forever remembered for her iconic role as Heather Chandler in the cult-classic film Heathers, which starred a young Winona Ryder in her first starring role.

In Heathers, Walker played the part of possibly the most difficult and nastiest teenager in the history of film, earning her acclaim and a devoted fan base due to her legendary lines and on-screen persona in this black comedy about high school life.

Some of her most memorable lines from the film include "You're such a pillowcase!" and "Did you eat a brain tumor for breakfast?"

Walker's scene-stealing performance in the first half of the film cemented her status as a standout actress.

Although later roles did not quite match the level of stardom she achieved with Heathers, Walker continued to act in supporting roles throughout her career.
