Heather Urich (nee Menzies), born December 3, 1949 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a Canadian-born actress who moved to California via Florida at the age of 11. Heather enrolled at the Falcon Studio’s University of the Arts, in Hollywood. Her first professional role at the age of 13 was on My Three Sons. Directly after that, Heather auditioned for and won the role of Louisa Von Trapp in "The Sound Of Music."

Heather again worked with Julie Andrews in the film "Hawaii" and, at 16, traveled across the country to star in the Broadway play "We Have Always Lived In The Castle" with Shirley Knight. The production opened at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., and showed for a lengthy run at the Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York City. Heather guest starred in several television series throughout the 1970s and '80s and did several television pilots and movies for television, including "Tail Gunner Joe" with Peter Boyle and "The James Dean Story" with Michael Brandon and Amy Irving. She starred in the popular cult favorite "Sssssss" with Strother Martin and Dirk Benedict, in the popular series "Logan's Run" with Gregory Harrison, and in the film "Piranha" with Bradford Dillman. She also appeared nude in the August 1973 issue of "Playboy" magazine. Although she was not the centerfold model, she did have a five-page spread with full frontal nudity. Heather met her late husband, Robert Urich, while acting with him in a "Libby’s Corned Beef Hash" commercial. Heather guest starred with Urich in "S.W.A.T.", "Vega$" and "Spenser For Hire", as well as many other television shows and a theatrical film, "Endangered Species." The couple also co-starred in theatrical productions, including "The Hasty Heart", a production at the Burt Reynold's Playhouse, in Jupiter, Florida. The play achieved substantial acclaim, including a run at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington, DC, with President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan in attendance.

Heather is an ovarian cancer survivor and lives in Los Angeles with her three children, Ryan, Emily, and Allison. She works with the Urich Fund for Sarcoma Research at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
