Biography

Fille des acteurs Gordon MacRae (1921-1986) et Sheila MacRae (1921-2014) et sœur de l'actrice Meredith MacRae (1944-2000), Heather MacRae joue notamment au théâtre à Broadway (New York) dans quatre comédies musicales, la première en 1968.

L'année suivante (1969), sa deuxième comédie musicale est Hair (représentée jusqu'en 1972) ; sa quatrième est A Catered Affair (2008, avec Harvey Fierstein), inspirée du film de 1956 The Catered Affair — titre français : Le Repas de noces —. Toujours à Broadway, elle joue aussi en 1987-1988 dans la pièce Coastal Disturbances de Tina Howe (avec Annette Bening et Timothy Daly).

Au cinéma, elle apparaît dans seulement huit films américains (ou en coproduction), le premier sorti en 1969. Le troisième est Tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir sur le sexe sans jamais oser le demander de Woody Allen (1972, avec le réalisateur et John Carradine). Suivent notamment Un couple parfait de Robert Altman (1979, avec Paul Dooley et Titos Vandis) et Graine de star de James Lapine (1993, avec Michael J. Fox et Christina Vidal). Son dernier film à ce jour est la coproduction américano-indienne Un nom pour un autre de Mira Nair (2006, avec Tabu et Irfan Khan).

Pour la télévision américaine, à ce jour, Heather MacRae contribue à quinze séries, depuis Flipper le dauphin (un épisode, 1966) jusqu'à The Big C (un épisode, 2013). Entretemps, citons Starsky et Hutch (deux épisodes, 1977), Frasier (un épisode, 1996) et New York, unité spéciale (deux épisodes, 2001-2002).

S'ajoutent trois téléfilms diffusés dans les années 1970.
