THE BIGGER PICTURE with Timothy Spangler show

Summary: HEATHER TOM, Emmy Award winning actress from "The Bold and the Beautiful," is our special guest this Sunday night! When HEATHER was only 16, she won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of the tempestuous, troubled and oft-married Victoria Newman on "The Young and the Restless." She has won the Emmy award twice (1993, 1999). She currently stars as Katie Logan on "The Bold and the Beautiful." In the past she has appeared on several prime-time television shows, including "Lucifer," "Unforgettable," "Criminal Minds," "The Mentalist" and "Ugly Betty." HEATHER is devoted to helping people who do not have the opportunities or options that she has. Recently she was named Regional Ambassador for Childhelp USA, a national non-profit organization that assists abused children. She also works very closely with several AIDS service organizations such as Caring for Babies with AIDS, Project Angelfood, Tuesday's Child and AIDS Project Los Angeles. She has volunteered in the kitchen at Project Angelfood helping to prepare meals for those who are disabled by AIDS many times as well as appearing and working at fund-raisers for many organizations. HEATHER loves to discuss politics, but she does more than "talk the talk." In the Congressional elections, she worked very closely with Congressman Loretta Sanchez' campaign as well as with "Rock the Vote" to help get out the younger voters. She also spends hours reading plays, scripts and classical literature. She is also an avid art collector who has amassed an impressive collection of sculpture, painting and prints. Also dropping by the show this Sunday night is SERENA SCOTT THOMAS, star of "Inherent Vice" and "The World is not Enough." SERENA was born in Nether Compton, Dorset, the younger sister of actress Kristin Scott Thomas. She is the niece of Admiral Sir Richard Thomas, who was Black Rod in the House of Lords, and a more distant grandniece of Capt. Robert F. Scott, who was the ill-fated explorer who lost the race to the South Pole. Her last name is an amalgam of the last names of those two families. She is perhaps best known for her portrayal of the character Dr. Molly Warmflash in the 1999 James Bond film "The World Is Not Enough." In addition she has recently appeared in the Thomas Pynchon novel-based film, "Inherent Vice." She has also appeared in numerous hit TV shows over the years, including "Scorpion," "Rizzoli & Isles," "Nip/Tuck," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Nash Bridges."
