Biography |
Heidi Mueller is an American actress. She portrayed the role
of Kay Bennett on the NBC daytime soap opera Passions from
2003 until 2008.
Prior to Passions, Mueller appeared alongside her father Don
Mueller and her siblings on the NBC reality TV series Who
Wants to Marry My Dad?.
Mueller joined Passions in 2003, the fourth actress to
portray Kay (and also played Kay's ancestor Prudence
Standish in a flashback). She continued in the role when the
series switched to DirecTV on September 17, 2007.
In 2007, Mueller appeared with co-star Adrian Bellani on The
Tyra Banks Show for a feature in which host Tyra went
through "soap opera school."
Renowned actress Juliet Mills, Mueller's costar on Passions,
said of Mueller in 2007, "When she started, she had never
acted and came from the reality show ... she was always very
serious about the work and worked really hard to learn her
lines. A soap opera is like boot camp. Now, she makes it all
seem very spontaneous, and she's right there for you. It's
really been lovely to see her grow as an actress." Passions
costar Ben Masters added that Mueller "has the ability to
make the words come out of her mouth so naturally; comes
cascading out of her. I did a whole week with her where we
had all these scenes, page after page after page; it was
just wonderful. It's like she's got a perfect pitch as an
actress."
Formerly engaged to actor Matthew Lawrence, Mueller has also
dated actors Josh Duhamel and Mario Lopez, the relationship
with Lopez ending immediately prior to his 2006 stint on
Dancing with the Stars. She was also briefly involved with
comedian Jamie Kennedy; the two made their first public
appearance together at the 2007 Daytime Emmy Awards. It is
also reported that she has been seen with That 70's Show
actor Wilmer Valderama. |
