Heather Hemmens recently opened up to Latina.com about her roots and her role on the hit CW show Hellcats.
The 22-year-old actress stars opposite Ashley Tisdale as the character Alice Verdura, who she calls the mean girl on the show.
“When I [get injured] and can’t cheer anymore, I try to get my power back and I do some very manipulative and nasty things,” she said.
While she’s not anything like her character, Heather said that she has a “sass that [she] makes no apologies for.”
Heather has a father who is white and a mother from Costa Rica, but she says she simply identifies herself as Latina.
Heather Hemmens gets swept off her feet by George Michael as they attend the Zappos.com Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon and Half-Marathon in Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon (December 5).
The 22-year-old actress was joined by costar Robbie Jones at the race where a number of couples were married or renewed their wedding vows during the ceremony held at about the third mile of the course. The race also benefited the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America.
Heather recently dished to TooFab about looking up to Jessica Simpson and her fitness regime. She shared, “I watched her her work very, very hard for that role [in Dukes of Hazzard]. Anyone with that much motivation is a big inspiration to me. We actually do a cowgirl-themed [routine in Hellcats], and I did channel Jessica Simpson for that!”
