Born Heather Michele O'Rourke on 27 December 1975 in Santee, San Diego, California, Heather entered American cinematic pop-culture before she entered first grade. She was sitting alone in the MGM Commissary waiting for her mother when a stranger approached her asking her name. "My name is Heather O'Rourke", she said. "But you're a stranger, and I can't talk to you". When her mother returned, the stranger introduced himself as Steven Spielberg. She failed her first audition when she laughed at a stuffed animal Spielberg presented her with. He thought she was just too young (she had just turned five) and he was actually looking for a girl at least 6 years old, but he saw something in her and asked her to come in a second time with a scary story book. He asked her to scream a lot. She screamed until she broke down in tears. The next day at the commissary, Spielberg told her and her family, "I don't know what it is about her, but she's got the job". She instantly became a star overnight and was easily recognized at her favorite theme park, Disneyland, and everywhere in California. In the years that followed, Heather was a familiar face on TV in "Happy Days" (1974) (1982-1983), "Webster" (1983) (1983-1984), and "Still the Beaver" (1985) (1986-1987), three shows in which she had recurring roles. In 1986, the highly anticipated sequel to her first movie, Poltergeist (1982), Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) debuted in theaters; it was her riveting performance in this film that cemented her a place in Hollywood history. In January 1987, Heather began to have flu like symptoms and her feet swelled. She was taken to Kaiser Hospital and they confirmed it was only the flu, but when symptoms continued, they diagnosed her as having Crohn's Disease, a chronic inflammation of the intestine. She was on medication throughout the filming of her next project, Poltergeist III (1988), and her cheeks were puffy in some scenes. She never complained during filming and did not appear sick to fellow cast members. When filming temporarily stopped in June, Heather and her family went on a road trip from Chicago, to New Orleans, to Orlando and all the way back to Lakeside where they lived at the time. Heather was well until January 31, 1988, Super Bowl Sunday. She was unable to keep anything in her stomach and crawled into bed with her parents that night, saying that she didn't feel well. The next morning, February 1, sitting at the breakfast table, she couldn't swallow her toast or Gatorade. Her mother noticed her fingers were blue and her hands were cold. Kathleen called the doctor's and was getting ready to put her clothes on when Heather fainted on the kitchen floor. When the paramedics came in, Heather insisted that she was "really okay" and was worried about missing school that day. In the ambulance, Heather suffered cardiac arrest and died on the operating table at 2:43 p.m miss in you angel xxx.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥`*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥`*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥`*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥`*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥`*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥`*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥ `*•.¸ ♥Her mother claimed a wrong diagnosis was responsible for her death. she loved to go shopping. But according to her mother Kathy, shopping with Heather was a tremendous effort. The girl had to have everything match, from shoes to earrings. She also loved to make and eat sweets, and was the student-body president at her school. For a pet, she had a St. Bernard. Her home life did not, ironically, include the viewing of certain films...particularly not horror films.
Fellow cast members described Heather as having a calming influence on the set. They also described cast meetings with her: everyone would be quickly leafing through the script, while Heather was sitting calmly. Being able to memorize 60 pages of script an hour, she would have already memorized the entire script.Her favorite movie of all time was Disney's dumbo She died while on hiatus from filming Poltergeist III (1988), her final movie, which is dedicated to her memory. She was replaced with a blonde stand-in.
Performed from age 3 in numerous commercials before her Poltergeist (1982) role, most notably for Mattel and McDonalds. She started modeling in 1979 for Mattel "Tuff Stuff" Number Blocks.
As a gift from the crew, she got to keep the goldfish from Poltergeist (1982).
She grew very close to director Gary Sherman while filming Poltergeist III (1988), and was very proud of the fact that she performed all her own stuntwork for this movie.
Her last words were "I love you" spoken to her mother
Date, time, place and cause of death: February 1, 1988, at 2:43 p.m., Children's Hospital and Health Center, 8001 Frost Street, San Diego, California, U.S.A. (Cardio-respiratory arrest/septic shock/acute bowel obstruction)

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
� Pamela Hall
All my love Sylvie

Birthday Remembrance
Thinking of you on your birthday Heather
But that is nothing new
For no day dawns and no day ends
Without a thought of you.
We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.

There's a very special place beyond the skies above
somewhere very peaceful that is full of light and Love
That special place is Heaven, where you're free to laugh and roam
it was your time to go there so the angels took you home
And though you're in our thoughts each day throughout the year
at special times like Christmas we all Wish you could be here
Now you're in a better place,your soul is laid to rest
safe with all the Angels for they only take the best.
