Hedy Burress

Hedy first studied stage directing and performing at Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois. Her stage performances included: Rimers of Eldritch, The Birthday Party and Biloxi Blues. Her life changed when she received a call from a Chicago based casting director who had used her in an interactive CD-ROM game for Viacom the year before. The casting director asked if she'd audition for the role of the artistic, mal-adjusted teenager Maddy in Boston Common. Hedy would get the role, however she would eventually play Wyleen Pritchett, the younger sister of comedian Anthony Clark.

After shooting the pilot for Boston Common, Hedy landed a supporting role in the NBC miniseries Seduced by Madness: The Diane Borchardt Story, starring Ann Margaret and Peter Coyote. Next, Hedy worked with her idol Sissy Spacek in If These Walls Could Talk. Then, in the spring of 1997, after 32 episodes, Boston Common was cancelled. During the following year, Hedy worked on three movies: Any Mother's Son co-starring Bonnie Badelia, Getting Personal, and Los Años Bbárbaros. In 1998 Hedy starred as Tom Selleck's daughter opposite Ed Asner, David Krumholtz and Penelope Ann Miller in the TV series The Closer. After the cancellation of The Closer, Hedy made appearances on Working and The Profiler. In 1999, she teamed up with Andy Garcia and Harry Belafonte in the Jerry Bruckheimer produced TV movie Swing Vote. Hedy next turned her attention towards the Theater in Seattle taking on the roll of "Abigail Williams" in the ACT (A Contemporary Theater) production of The Crucible. Following her run on the stage, Hedy appeared opposite Judd Nelson in the USA M.O.W. Cabin By The Lake shot in Vancouver, BC. Immediately after wrapping Cabin By The Lake, Hedy flew back to Los Angeles to shoot Looking For Bobby D. Hedy next appears in an NBC comedy titled DAG, starring David Alan Grier, and Delta Burke.
