Career

Heather Hopper launched her acting career at age 11 with a small role in the TV special On Location: The Roseanne Barr Show in 1987, quickly following with her debut as Leslie Jenner in an episode of Punky Brewster the next year.

Her breakthrough came in 1988 as Nikki Coleman on Good Morning, Miss Bliss, where she played a quick-witted student in the ensemble cast, gaining early recognition for her natural comedic timing opposite Hayley Mills and future Saved by the Bell stars.

This led to her film debut as Teresa DiBlasio, the enthusiastic Wilderness Girl, in the 1989 comedy Troop Beverly Hills, directed by Michael Ritchie, which highlighted her ability to shine in lighthearted group dynamics alongside Shelley Long and a young Jenny Lewis.

Hopper’s momentum carried into the early ’90s with guest spots that showcased her versatility, including a role in Married… with Children’s “The Dateless Amigo” episode in 1989 and a brief appearance on Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1990, where she navigated teen drama with poise.

She continued with parts in It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The New Lassie in 1991, blending humor and heart in family-oriented programming.

By the mid-’90s, roles in Appearances and smaller TV movies allowed her to explore dramatic edges, though the pressures of child stardom began to surface, leading to a semi-retirement around 1993 to address personal challenges like an eating disorder.

Heather Hopper returned selectively in the 2000s, appearing as a prostitute in The Shield in 2002 and Lady Elvira in the cult horror-comedy Elvira’s Haunted Hills the same year, infusing her characters with subtle depth amid genre tropes.

Her final on-screen credit came in 2013 as Kelly in the thriller You’re Next, directed by Ti West, marking a poignant close to her acting chapter with a tense, ensemble-driven performance.

Though retired from regular roles, Hopper’s early work endures in nostalgic revivals, influencing young performers with her authentic portrayals of adolescence and quiet resilience off-screen.
