Heather Thomas
Biography
Heather Thomas is an American actress who started in entertainment as a teenager, hosting the NBC interview series Talking with a Giant when she was 14. She moved into modest television roles in 1978, among them Co-Ed Fever, and then won the part of Jody Banks on The Fall Guy, playing opposite Lee Majors from the show's 1981 debut until it ended in 1986. That remains the role she is best known for. Her first movie was Zapped! (1982), and she took other film parts before leaving acting in 1998. She later wrote a screenplay called School Slut, which she sold to Touchstone Pictures, and in 2008 her debut novel, Trophies, was published. A brief return came with Girltrash: All Night Long (2014), and she reunited with Majors for a post-credits cameo in The Fall Guy (2024).
