In 2020, Tom tied the record for the most Emmys won by an Actress in a Daytime Drama Series, with her former mentor Erika Slezak. In 2012, she set the record, which she still holds today, as the only female actor in television history to win an Emmy® in all three performer categories: Younger, Supporting and Lead Actress. To date, Heather has received 19 Emmy® Award nominations; nine for her role as Victoria Newman (eight of them consecutively from 1993-2000 and again in 2004), two for her role as “Kelly Cramer Buchanan” (2005 and 2007), and eight for her role as “Katie Logan” (2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2020). Heather also won the 1997 “Outstanding Younger Lead Actress Award” at the 13th Annual Soap Opera Awards. In 2013, Heather reached another career milestone with Variety Magazine’s announcement of the “Daytime TV Impact Honorees” listing the innovators from daytime TV. From the impressive list of 30 nominees representing all genres including network executives, producers and news anchors, Heather was the only actor listed.
In 2016, Tom joined the DGA and began directing. She participated in CBS’s coveted Diversity Directors Internship program. She has since directed episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, Good Trouble and Dynasty. Additionally, she has directed the video short, Bigfoot’s Love Slave, and the short films, Blink and Serenity.

Her short films include When We’re Old and Love Means Nothing, Beyond the Ladies Room Door and Delusion. She has appeared on numerous award shows, talk shows and game shows, including The Talk and Hollywood Squares, and has co-hosted Barbara Walters’s The View, twice.
In 2004, Heather made her Broadway debut in the Mark Medoff play, Prymate, playing “Allison”, a role for which she became fluent in sign language. In the Los Angeles production, she received a Robbie Theatre LA Award Nomination for Best Actress. Other New York theatre credits include: “Jenn” in Happy Hour; “Chrysothemis” in Electra, “Barbara Northrup”/”Marjorie Cameron” in Moonchild, and “Polyxen” in Hecuba.

Born in Hinsdale, Illinois, Tom moved with her family to Seattle when she was 10 years old. At 13, they made a permanent move to Los Angeles where she and her siblings, twins David and Nicholle Tom, began their careers in Hollywood.
