About
Hello, I'm Heather Robinson-Ross, and welcome to my website.
From an early age, my passion for film and television was ignited by a serendipitous encounter. When I was just 12 years old, my mother took me along to a local Access Cable shoot, and I was instantly captivated. It was a magical experience that solidified my dream of working in the television industry. Despite my young age, I eagerly awaited my workers permit, and as soon as it arrived, I joined the crew as the proud keeper of the "boom" microphone. I wore a beaming smile as if entrusted with carrying the Olympic torch.
Following my move from Littleton, Colorado to Tucson, Arizona, I completed high school and embarked on a career at America Online (AOL). It was during this time that fate intervened once again. In an online chat room, I had the extraordinary opportunity to meet the talented actress and writer, Carrie Fisher. She encouraged me to write a screenplay based on my experiences as a teenager growing up with a single mother. As if the universe conspired in my favor, Marc Platt and his production company decided to bring my screenplay to life as a feature film titled "The Perfect Man." This Universal Pictures production enjoyed a worldwide release and starred notable actors such as Hilary Duff, Heather Locklear, and Chris Noth.
Throughout my journey, I have been deeply involved with and supportive of several nonprofit organizations, including Wright Flight, Good Ride, the Alzheimer's Association in Denver, EndCAN and most recently, San Juan Mountain Adventures.
In addition to my film and advocacy work, I am currently writing a book titled,
"The Oh Swell Hotel." The book chronicles my experience of living in a hotel for a year while my husband, Lt. Colonel Gary Ross, received chemotherapy treatment for his terminal cancer, Waldenstrom's disease. It's a deeply personal account that explores love, resilience, humor and the strength of the human spirit.
Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey, and I invite you to explore my website further to learn more about my work and projects.
