Heather Bursch

[BlueAcadia]

Heather Bursch is a former international fashion model that worked professionally during the 1980s-90s and was represented by Elite (New York). Interestingly, she is the childhood friend of Winona Ryder- They grew up together as best friends!  Extra funny...seeing the popularity of the movie "Heathers". 😆

"Winona talks about herself and her childhood friend Heather Bursch---- "We were sort of the geeks," she admits. Teachers and pupils alike would tell them they were losers; "They would say, 'you're going to go nowhere.'" Winona laughs at the memory today. Bursch went on to become a top model. Winona shrugs, "It's funny. Now she's in "Elle" , and I'm sure all those girls are feeling a little stupid." On Winona and Heather having fun----- "Or we'd have a drink and pretend we were the Jets from "West Side Story". We knew all the dances and everything. We'd climb on the roofs of houses, with these great walkie-talkies to communicate with each other." and one night---- "We started flirting with these guys over the walkie-talkies and they must of tracked us down, because all of a sudden this big truck started coming towards us. We had to dive down on the roof so no one could see us."
- Winona Ryder
