Happy 29th Birthday to Heather Matarazzo!

We fell in love with her all those years ago in the indie fave Welcome to the Dollhouse and this openly lesbian actress has just continued on with terrific performances since.

Heather Matarazzo stole every scene she was in in the Princess Diaries movies as Anne Hathaway’s best friend. Her other movies include The Devil’s Advocate, Scream 3, Sorority Boys, Saved! and Hostel: Part 2.

She has also had television roles in The L Word, Exes and Ohs and Life on Mars. Heather has become increasingly active in LGBT issues and last month wrote a thoughtful piece for Huffington Post.

Hope she is having a wonderful birthday!
