Heather Matarazzo is the boy-shy Tweety, who self-medicates her insecurities
with a never-ending supply of ipecac.
Matarazzo took the independent film world by storm at the age of 14 when she starred as Dawn Weiner, the brilliantly troubled adolescent girl in WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE. The film was honored with the Grand Jury Prize at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival and Heather received the 1997 Independent Spirit Award for "Best Debut Performance." Her other film credits include the current release SCREAM 3, DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, 54, CHERRY, COMPANY MAN and the award-winning film A CHILDREN'S STORY. Her latest independent film GETTING TO KNOW YOU, debuted at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival.
This past May, Heather starred in the ABC Movie Of The Week, OUR GUYS: OUTRAGE IN GLEN RIDGE. The film was based on the true story of a young retarded woman sexually assaulted by the high school football team and the trial that followed. The New York Times called her performance "Outstanding." Heather is currently in production on NOW & AGAIN, CBS's new fall series.
Heather's other television credits include roles on LAW AND ORDER and ER. She also had a recurring role on ROSEANNE and TOWNIES, and she created the role of Natasha on the Nickelodeon series THE ADVENTURES OF PETE & PETE.
