Andrea Hays

Andrea Hays is an actress, producer, costume designer, and nurse, best known for her role as Heidi in Twin Peaks (both the 1990 original series and the 2017 revival) and the 1992 prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (and Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces).

Twin Peaks

She appeared in the very first and very last episode of the original series, which are two of the most famous episodes, and the prequel movie. She subsequently returned to the role over twenty-five years later, appearing in three episodes of the revival series.

Though the role of Heidi the waitress itself appears minor on the surface, the choice by David Lynch to include the character and actress in key episodes and the movie, even bringing her back for the finale despite the character not appearing in the original script, elevates it to more significance. Years later, Entertainment Weekly selected Hays's character and laugh as one of the best moments of the original Pilot episode. All of her scenes are set in the Double R Diner.[1][2][3][4]

Producing, Costume Design, and More

She has a production company called Smarticle Productions. She was an extra in movies such as Footloose (1984) and has played a variety of roles behind the camera, including costume designer, makeup, art department, and more, working as a producer on a wide variety of short movies and as a costumer designer on other short movies, including The Son, the Father (2017) by Lukas Hassel, which won Best Screenwriting at the HollyShorts Film Festival, and The Lunchbox Brigade (2016).[5]

Personal Life

She is also a nurse, specializing in dementia and hospice care.[5]
